Estonia welcoming Brits in record numbers by Cheap Flights Booker UK

Estonia welcomed a record number of British visitors in the first quarter of the year, the national tourist board has announced.

More than 259,000 tourists stayed in the country"s hotels and other accommodation establishments between January and March, 19% more than in the same period last year.

There was a 41% increase in the number of UK visitors, with a total of 9,500 British guests spending 23,292 nights in Estonia during the first three months of 2011.

A number of factors are contributing to the success, including the fact that Tallinn is one of two European Capitals of Culture this year and easyJet"s recent introduction of flights to the Estonian capital from Liverpool.

Tarmo Mutso, the country"s director of tourism, said: "Several new tourist attractions have been or will be opened this year in Tallinn, including the Viru Hotel KGB museum, the renovated Estonian History Museum and the Estonian Maritime Museum at the reconstructed Seaplane Harbour on Tallinn"s seafront.

"These factors all cumulatively provide excellent conditions for the sustained growth in inbound tourism which we expect to continue."
