Mallorca is one of the most popular holiday destinations for Germans year after year.

However, in 2021 the Balearic Island was overthrown - there is a new favorite.

It

is undisputed

that Mallorca * is one of the

most popular travel destinations for Germans

- it is not for nothing that it is often referred to as the 17th federal state.

It looks like the Balearic island has to say goodbye to its top spot for the time being.

Another holiday island is currently making the hearts of German citizens beat faster.

Goodbye Mallorca?

Where Germans would most like to spend their summer vacation in 2021

This year, Germans are mainly drawn to

Crete for their

summer vacation

.

This is shown by the bookings in the travel agencies and on the website of the largest German travel company TUI, as Business Insider has found out.

Mallorca is "only" in second place in the ranking

.

"Greece is starting the new season with the tailwind of last summer", says the head of TUI Germany, Marek Andryszak, accordingly.

Due to the low number of corona cases and a coherent hygiene concept, the Greeks were able to look forward to numerous tourists last year - while high incidences in other European countries tended to deter travelers.

Despite this, Spain will remain the Germans' most popular travel destination in terms of volume in 2021. In addition to Mallorca, holidaymakers will also end up in

Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Tenerife

: “We expect Mallorca to catch up at the beginning of the season, because capacity and choice are well known on the Balearic island big, ”says Andryszak.

The Turkish Riviera does not make it to 3rd place this year, but can still secure 5th place.

Travel destinations in the area are also in demand: Tyrol comes in 9th place, Bavaria in 12th place and the northern Italian lakes with Lake Garda in 14th place.

However, Dubai and the Maldives are popular because of their sprawling resorts.

Overall, travel experts expect

people to want to catch up on their vacation as quickly as possible

: “The desire to travel in summer at the latest is great.

With vaccinations ramping up across Europe, confidence is growing that travel will soon be possible again, ”explains Andryszak.
