Flights from the UK to Majorca have spiked in the last month due to travellers seeing the Spanish island on UK TV channel ITV’s latest show Love Island, according to travel agent Kiwi.com.
The reality TV show puts a group of young guys and girls in a house together and challenges them to find love – or at least something close – in the beautiful and warm surroundings of Majorca. Kiwi.com says that searches for flights to the island have increased by 31 per cent in the last month, a trend that Kiwi.com is calling Love Fly-land Syndrome.
In comparison, Bali, the location of rival TV show Ex On The Beach, only saw an eight-per-cent increase in holiday searches, says Kiwi.com.
"Whether you love it or hate it, Love Island has once again taken the nation by storm,” commented Alison Couper from Kiwi.com. “We have seen a significant amount of Brits reacting to the TV phenomenon by searching for their own romantic story with a last minute trip to Majorca.”
