GREAT SAVINGS ON CHRISTMAS MARKETS AND CITY BREAKS

With Christmas just 9 weeks away searches and bookings for city breaks, in particular to traditional Christmas markets, are on the rise according to lowcostholidays.com, the low cost holiday experts.

There has been an 85% increase year on year in the number of customers searching for Christmas market destinations and overall bookings for short breaks are up 95% over last month.

Commenting on the interest in short break destinations, CEO Paul Evans said:

"For many of our customers, a 3 or 4 night city break is proving a popular escape for winter. We're working very closely with hoteliers to provide a large number of free night offers which, when combined with the cheap low cost carrier fares that we have access to, ensure we can offer great value city breaks."

Matt Hall, Head of Product at www.lowcostholidays.com adds:

"Searches for Xmas markets in Prague, Munich and Budapest are leading the way as they offer a holiday and Christmas shopping trip in one. City hoteliers know that they need to offer something extra to attract UK holidaymakers such as a free night or free breakfast upgrade.

At lowcostholidays.com we’re happy to pass these savings on to our customers which explains the jump in sales over this period – up by 125% vs last year.

Other popular short break destinations have also increased over the last month with bookings to Barcelona up by 115% compared to the previous month and bookings to Prague up by 105% over last month."
