China was named the new tourist hotspot by M&S Money, with Malta also having shown a significant increase in interest this year due to it joining the Euro currency.
According to M&S Money, it has already sold ten per cent more Chinese currency this year than it did in the whole of 2006, website Easier Finance has reported.
The favourable exchange rate, of RMB14 to £1, as well as the low cost of living in China makes it an attractive option for tourists.
Despite the cost of travelling there, M&S Money estimates that British tourists are likely to spend half of what they would in a holiday in Europe.
Malta is also looking like a choice spot for tourists this summer, as the country's announced adoption of the euro in January of 2008 has brought a new wave of visitors.
The fact that English is the main language on the island, and the opening of new routes by popular cheap airline Ryanair has further increased interest.
And many visitors are deciding to stay with 80 per cent of properties developed in the island being sold on the day, according to maltabuyproperty.co.uk.
