@timrichards It makes sense, to a degree, to me at least.

For the vast majority of people, an overseas holiday is something you get to do maybe a handful of times in your life. So when you do one, you want to maximise the possibility of having a good time - which means taking away unknowns. Your friends when to [PLACE A] and have given you a bit of a brief about it so you know, sort of, what to expect, plus they said they liked it so of course you're more likely to want to visit [PLACE A] yourself, as opposed to [PLACE B] about which you know nothing/comparitively little.
