Is Eastern Europe Set to Become 2011's Top Budget Travel Destination?

    LONDON, ENGLAND, January 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Just as the tight security restriction surrounding Chernobyl are finally relaxed, leading travel company DialAFlight is predicting a surge in tourism to Ukraine and a continuation of last year's trend for Eastern European travel in 2011.

Twenty five years after the tragedy that befell Chernobyl came to pass, the Ukraine has deemed it safe to open the nuclear power plant to tourists. The 'Exclusion Zone', which has always been shut to the tourist industry on the grounds of dangerous radiation and sensitivity to the disaster, will now be accessible on tourist trails of the site. The Ukraine is set for a massive influx of tourists with historical hopes in mind. With Kiev and Odessa already hugely popular tourist attractions, the opening of this major location makes the Ukraine as a budding tourist hotspot for 2011.

Eastern Europe has gone from underdog travel location - to the extent where it has been grossly overlooked - to a destination which makes it top of the list. Eastern Europe isn't going to arrive, it already has. Culturally rich and budget friendly it is set to become 2011's top short-stay destination.

Top of the cheap flights to Eastern Europe league table are DialaFlight who have recognised this travel trend and cater for the 2011 budget traveller. Budget friendly flights to countries such as Latvia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Ukraine and Czech Republic are available all year round, with special Eastern Europe flights and hotel offers prevalent on the site. Booking your flight and hotel together is an instant money saver as well as continental car hire being available from a mere GBP8.

An astonishing 52% more people searched for flights to Eastern Europe in 2010 than 2009. This figure is only expected to increase as the endless possibilities available on the European continent become more and more apparent. It's a recession-friendly stone's throw away but feels like the other side of the world. Full of character, charm and value for money, there is no doubt that Eastern Europe is already top of the travel leader board.

Travellers intrigued by the possibility of visiting Chernobyl are best advised to fly to Kiev (from GBP263 inc. tax at http://www.dialaflight.com).
