Recently in Monthly Top Ten Destinations Category

iExplore customer booking habits did not change much between June and July. Seven of June's Top Ten Destinations also made the July list.  Antarctica continues to be the most popular destination of 2009 by holding on to the Top Destination spot again in August and for the fifth month in a row.  iExplore Adventure Consultant Rosemary Burki commented "Antarctica is on so many of my clients 'Must See List'.  Many of them say that the attention Global Warming has received has encouraged them to get there sooner than later."

Safari's continue to be popular with South Africa (#2) and Kenya (#4) maintaining their spots on the list. Also unchanged from last month was perennial favorite Egypt (#3).

We welcomed Indonesia (#7), Jordan (#9) and Spain (#10) to this months list, replacing Alaska, Russia and China.

Each month the team at iExplore enjoys looking at the top destinations booked by our customers in the previous month.  For an unprecedented fourth month in a row, Antarctica has been the top sold destination for our customers.  It is no wonder, as Antarctica is truly an awe-inspiring destination.  Chris Bach, an iExplore customer and CNN Reporter recently wrote about his experience on an iExplore Antarctica Expedition.

There are three destinations that make the Top Ten list nearly every month and June was no different for Egypt (#3), Peru (#7) and China (#9).  Our customers always gravitate to the World Wonders and the Pyramids in Egypt, Machu Picchu in Peru and The Great Wall of China are hard to beat.

Also popular this past month were safaris.  We saw several bookings for safari experiences in both South Africa (#2) and Kenya (#4). Lastly, we were excited to see one of iExplore's all-time leaders, the Galapagos Islands, return to the monthly list in spot #10.  The full Top Ten list for June bookings is listed below.
