A new survey by flight destination finder WhichBudget.com has revealed that when it comes to choosing a Father's Day treat, the way to a Dad's heart is most likely to be through his stomach rather than sports. A poll of 584 men on the website found that food and drink trips came top of the Father's Day holiday wish-list, while sporting activities were rated as less appealing for a Father's Day getaway.

22% = Savour Sicilian Food and Wine in Italy
17% = Whisky Tour of Scotland
12% = Surf the waves off the coast of Portugal
9% = Racing the Nurburgring in Germany
8% = Fly-fishing in Iceland
8% = Chilled out Culture Day in San-Sebastian, Spain
7% = Off-shore power boating in Costa Smeralda in Sardinia
6% = Camel riding in Morocco
6% = Down and Dirty in a mud-spa in Budapest
5% = Golf & Guinness trip to Ireland

Commenting on the survey results, Martino Matijevic, CEO and Founder of WhichBudget.com, said: "Nowadays men are far more adventurous in their food and drink choices, so it is not surprising that top of the Father's Day wish-list are getaways that combine travel with food and drink. Our survey found sporting activities were less appealing, which was a surprise. Maybe this is because sport requires more energy, so may not be quite as conducive to a relaxing Father's Day off as slowly sipping whisky in a Highland distillery, or dining in a lively Sicilian piazza."
