Co. Down, N. Ireland, (February 19, 2010) - ActivityBreaks, a leading independently operated provider of activity holidays across Europe, announce their top 10 holiday destinations which people are booking to escape to during 2010.

Top of the list is Northern Italy, with people paying special attention to taking activity holidays in and around the Milan area. The number two destination is Catalunya in Spain with third and forth positions being claimed by Salzburg and Slovenia respectively. Activity holidays closer to home in London and Ireland take up fifth and sixth place, with Rome holding seventh spot. Malaga holds eighth position for most popular destination with Hungary following in ninth. Estonian capital Tallinn rounds off the top 10 most booked ActivityBreaks destinations for the year ahead.

ActivityBreaks have also made a note of what their top holiday choices are with their clients, with ski and snowboarding holidays alongside multi-activity holidays being the most popular. Watersports, spa breaks and events packages all follow, with walking holidays being the sixth most popular choice. Horse riding activity holidays are the seventh most popular activity, followed by cycling holidays in eighth.

"This data gives us a keen insight to what customers look for when they're booking their activity holidays through ActivityBreaks," comments Dearbhaile Mulholland of ActivityBreaks. "Milan and its surrounding area being the most popular choice is heart warming to us in the industry as it's such a beautiful destination, steeped in culture and a rich history. That people are looking to take multi-activity holidays there is great news, as are people staying closer to home in the British Isles to promote local tourism. However, despite the awful weather we've been having lately, it's still good to see that people are packing their cases and heading off on ski and snowboarding holidays around Europe!"
