Father's Day is celebrated on 19th June in most countries around the World, ever since 1910. Have you already got a present for your Dad? If you are still hesitating, here are a few ideas!

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.

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

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."
