Japan, Burma and Kenya are set to be the rising travel stars of 2016, according to Kuoni’s latest travel trends report.

The winner

The countries occupied the top three places in the tour operator’s annual run down of trending destinations, logging the biggest year-on-year rise in bookings.

The Maldives took the overall top spot, with Thailand and Sri Lanka ranking as second and third best sellers.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi fell notably however – with the UAE as a whole dropping from number eight down to 15. Kuoni attributed the decline to a “slight dip in bookings a result of increasing instability in the Middle East”.

Egypt has also dropped out of the operator’s top 30, while Morocco and Turkey are similarly down.
