Slovenia Becomes Top Holiday Destination for Britons
With the arrival of the no-frills carrier Easyjet on the Ljubljana airport, Slovenia has become one of the favourite European destinations for the British tourists this year, the airline has suggested.
According to the Easyjet office in Ljubljana, these growing numbers have also been prompted by the fact that Slovenian has been voted a top holiday destination in the surveys carried out by the Guardian and the Observer.
Easyjet has been reporting a 90-percent flight occupancy on its route Ljubljana-London, with 7,700 passengers transported on a monthly average. Similar occupancy rate is expected on the route Ljubljana-Berlin, to be launched by Easyjet on 25 November.
Figures of the Slovenian Statistics Office show that as many as 65,000 British tourists visited Slovenia over the past nine months, which is almost a 50-percent increase over the same period last year. Britons already place fifth on the list of foreign tourists in Slovenia.
