Firm predicts top hotspots for 2009
Wednesday, December 31, 2008British Airways has come up with a list of destinations it thinks will be particularly good to visit during 2009.
Topping the chart was Cape Town, with Johannesburg taking second place thanks to it being all set to host the British Lions tour.
Dubai came third, with American cities San Francisco and New York completing the top five.
Hong Kong, St Kitts, St Lucia, Sydney and Shanghai completed the compilation.
British Airways' head of UK and Ireland sales Richard Tams said that the credit crunch is not stopping die-hard travellers.
"It's not all doom and gloom for travel in the current economic climate … savvy flyers know there are still bargains to be had," he commented.
City guide publisher DK Eyewitness Travel also recently published a list of 2009 travel hotspots, which included Vilnius in Lithuania, Copenhagen and Seattle.
These places were chosen for their array of cultural attractions, as well as for their hotels and restaurants.
