Using an algorithm, TripAdvisor have determined the up and coming destinations looking at reviews for accommodation, restaurants and attractions, as well as increases in booking interests and searches.

The 'save' feature on TripAdvisor was also used to suggest emerging destinations of popularity.

Named as Global Emerging Destination, Ipswich is the only UK destination to make the world winning list.

According to TripAdvisor, the town is popular thanks to its "historical charm" as well as the "ever-growing list of theatres and dance houses".

Ile d'Oleron, an island in France, Cala d'Or resort in Spain and Alvor in the Algarve all made the list too.

The number one destination is Kaliningrad in Russia, found between Poland and Lithuania.

The travel website claimed more travellers are interested in the Russian region due to an easier e-visa process when travelling to the country, as well as its blend of Russian and Eastern Europe influences.
