If you really want to impress with your holiday snaps, you'll need to venture further afield than sunny Spain or the USA, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Brits made 70.8 million visits overseas in 2016, with 49% of all trips taking them to either Spain, France, Italy, the Republic of Ireland, or the USA.
Spain was named the UK's favourite holiday destination by a landslide, accounting for 14.7 million overseas trips and over a fifth of all international travel in 2016.
With British holidays getting increasingly predictable, Business Insider has compiled a list of the 48 locations that were least visited by UK residents in 2016, according to the latest Travel Trends report from the ONS.
Passengers arriving and departing from the UK were surveyed on the main country they visited as part of their trip in order to produce the data, which was scaled up to represent national figures.
The report does not take into account instances where multiple destinations were visited as part of one trip. In these cases, only the country visited for the longest period was included in the data.
The ONS data includes locations which the Foreign Office currently warns against visiting, as explained in each entry, however travellers can still aspire to visit if they become more peaceful.
Scroll on to discover the 48 least visited destinations that should be on every seasoned globetrotter's bucket list, ranked in descending order by the number of visits made by UK residents in 2016 — as well as a hand-picked list of must-visit attractions from each place.
