Manchester has been named the third most popular place for overseas visitors in the UK.
The latest data from the Hotels.com has London in top spot and Edinburgh second in the list of most visited cities in 2015.
Worldwide, the Hotel Price Index has New York as the city most visited by Brits, followed by Paris, Amsterdam and Dublin.
Liana Peppard, of the Hotels.com brand, said, “It has been a jet-setting year for British travellers in 2015, with destinations in Europe, the USA, Asia and the Middle East all in the Top 20.
“New York was favourite once again, but a number of European destinations proved popular with European capitals continuing to attract travellers. It’s going to be exciting to see what adventures 2016 brings for UK holidaymakers.”
The UK’s top five inbound destinations have maintained their positions for another year, with London holding on to first place. Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow follow behind consecutively.
Reading also climbed one position by overtaking Nottingham to enter the UK’s top 20 most frequently visited cities.
