Good quiz, didn't get Turkey (like a poor American's Thanksgiving)

Lol. But to set the record straight, not all Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving. Two of our family members can't eat turkey because it triggers migraines so we usually serve roast chicken or pork, (along with cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, of course!)

ander, I want to go to Thanksgiving at your house. Turkey is so overrated.

I have been a vegetarian for eight years now and before I did I always considered turkey to be too dry of a meat, chicken was better. And in case you are wondering - no I do not miss any meat at all, never have. lol

It is quite refreshing for a vegetarian to let it be known that they are a vegetarian.

I'm American as well, and since barely anyone in my family likes turkey, we usually eat corn beef instead for Thanksgiving.

The number of people going to the countries seems really low, though i don't know in which period of time they are. Also no tropical countries like Thailand that are otherwise quite popular tourist destinations, only european. Are you sure everything is correct in this? It all just seems so strange

Yes, the quiz is correct. See the column header: "Thousands".

I'm speculating, but I think due to the proximity of the countries on the list to Britain compared with tropical countries like Thailand, flights are considerably cheaper and therefore more Brits can afford to go, and probably more regularly...

Thailand is quite far away. but the list is still dominated by countries that are much sunnier than the UK. Spain (Tenerife, Costa del Sol, Barcelona, Majorca, Ibiza being top destinations), France (French Riviera), Italy (Rome, Naples, Sicily), Portugal, Greece, Turkey (Antalya being the popular destination)... Brits obviously like sun. I'm betting Thailand isn't too far down the list, either.

We do like the sun, but a lot of those places come with interesting history and culture, so for those of us who like those sorts of things, it's win win!

as a brit i don't think thailand is far down lots of brits wanna go but flights are expensive. And yes i can confirm most brits looove the sun. I can imagine next are thailand,cyprus and australia (a dream for the majority here). Also you forgot arguabilly the most popular destination for brits Benidorm (aka little britian)

You'd find a similar pattern for most countries

Majority of short term tourists go to the nearest warm resort areas

Neither do Americans. Only a million less Brits travel to the USA than vice versa. As a percentage of population, we're much more likely to travel further.

You will have read - and you will probably have used as a punchline or explanatory prop for American parochialism - the fact that “the majority of Americans do not have passports”. This is true. The US State Department estimates that 42 per cent of the population possess one.

i'd suggest they had missed out the northern irish who cross the border to go shopping/go to work etc and go back but it's probably not recorded anywhere. The note says UK residents which should include them as well I suppose.

On other quizzes like this one it only counts overnight stays, so that might explain the lower numbers for Ireland. And of course, as you say, there isn't really any data on people crossing from north to south.

I've always wondered why the Czech Republic is usually so low on these types of quizzes, considering Prague is so well known in the fashion world. I guess I expected Londoners to travel there more
