Published by Zeb BhamThe top travel trend for 2010 will be the rise of the two-week adventure holiday, according to STA Travel.According to the group there has been a sharp rise in the number of people planning action-packed two-week breaks, marking a clear departure from the staycation, last year's top travel trend.Commenting on the popularity of the adventure breaks, John Warner, managing director of Gap Adventures, said that a fortnight affords plenty of opportunity to see the attractions a country has to offer, as well as having some unforgettable experiences.He added: "Combining volunteering with some sightseeing and adventure travel is another sure fire way of making the most of a destination."The Galapagos Islands were recommended as a top destination for altruistic travellers, while for those who are out for an action-packed trip, Costa Rica is the destination to head to.As well as white water rafting, mountain biking and horse riding, the country also offers volcano walks.For competitive rates and commission free travel money, visit our Travel FX site
