THE worst five holiday destinations have been revealed by travel legal experts.
Currently topping the Irwin Mitchell complaints list is Turkey, followed by Egypt (the Pyramids, pictured), and Bulgaria.
Sharing fourth place are mainland Spain and Majorca.
The list also throws up a surprise new entrant with Cape Verde, the trendy West African island archipelago, claiming fifth place.
Results were based on the number of new cases taken on by the firm, which has offices in Leeds, in 2008.
A group of 54 sunseekers – including six West Yorkshire families – are fighting for compensation after a stay at the Riu Garopa and Riu Funana hotels on the Cape Verde islands, as first reported in the Yorkshire Evening Post in March.
A further 44 are seeking legal advice with the firm.
Bouts of illness have also been reported at Holiday Village Hotel in Sarigerme, Turkey (previously Pegasus Palace Hotel) and the Hotel Royal Park in Elenite, Bulgaria.
Clive Garner, head of Irwin Mitchell’s international travel team, said: “We do find that countries tend to dip in and out of the ‘worst five’ list.
“It’s a cyclical thing, which can be partly attributed to holiday trends.”
