Australia is the top choice when it comes to going on the trip of a lifetime, a new study on British holidaymakers' favourite destinations reveals.
The research by American Express finds 13 per cent of Britons put Australia as their dream destination, followed by neighbouring New Zealand (eight per cent).
Other English-speaking countries also did very well, with both the USA and Canada in the top five, taking third and fourth place respectively.
Collectively, North American countries were the top choice for 11 per cent of Brits for their dream holiday.
The survey finds the Caribbean is the most popular island destination.
"Travel packages are more popular than ever, as travellers are looking for unique offerings that combine luxury and savings," said Rudy Maxa, travel expert.
