RESEARCH from comparison site TravelSupermarket has named the cheapest destinations for an all-inclusive holiday, with Turkey crowned the winner.
The price of seven-night all-inclusive holidays, departing between May and September, were compared to find the best value breaks.
While destinations in north Africa dominated the top five, Turkey pipped Tunisia to the top spot by just £7.
Breaks to the resort town of Alanya offered the best-value, with all-inclusive packages from £581 per person.
There are plenty of attractions and activities in Alanya to keep holidaymakers entertained, including Water Planet Aqua Park.
Home to 24 water slides, it’s the biggest waterpark in the region.
Alanya isn’t just for adrenaline junkies, with some of the best beaches in the country found in the region.
Kleopatra Beach, Portakal Beach and Damlatas Beach are considered to be among the best.
All-inclusive holidays in Hammamet, Tunisia, took second place, with seven-night stays starting from £588, according to the research.
While most holidaymakers will spend their time relaxing by the pool and on the beach, there is still lots to do.
Tourists can visit the 15th century Medina of Hammamet to buy local goods and souvenirs.
Carthage Land was the first theme park in North Africa and has five themed worlds, including a waterpark and the 60mph rollercoaster King Kong.
The modern resort town of Sousse (also in Tunisia) came third in the research, with holidays costing £603 per person.
Marrakesh took fourth place with all-inclusive holidays costing £608 per person.
Meanwhile, Burgas in Bulgaria rounded off the top five, with week-long holidays costing slightly more at £683 per person.
This was the best-value break for a European destination, according to the research by comparison site TravelSupermarket.
Western Europe‘s cheapest all-inclusive break was in Costa Dorada for £687, over £100 more expensive compared to a week-long stay in Alanya.
The research from TravelSupermarket echoes the sentiments of TUI Group chief executive, Sebastien Ebel, who explained how the tour operator was seeing more British tourists heading to North Africa for their holidays.
At the end of last year, Ebel said: “What we see is more people going to Egypt in winter [instead of the Canaries].
“In summer, there is high demand for Bulgaria, Tunisia and Egypt, so there are changes in demand patterns.
“Majorca will be full in summer, the Canaries are full in winter, but there is enough choice for customers to find the right vacation.”
Spain remains a popular holiday destination with Brits, parts of the country are becoming more expensive as capacity nears its limit.
Neil Swanson, TUI UK and Ireland managing director, agreed with Ebel’s comments.
He added: “Looking ahead to 2025, we’re seeing growing interest in North African destinations.”
Research by HolidayPirates also had similar findings, with its Summer Travel Trends survey revealing that in interest in Spain as a destination had dropped by half.
However, the same research found that interest in Tunisia has soared by 70 per cent, with package holiday prices down by 20 per cent.
