Lowcostbeds has expanded its portfolio of hotels as the bedbank reports a 45% increase in sales on city destinations last year.
It is investing in the European cities and also destinations like New York, Miami, Istanbul, Abu Dhabi and Dubai which are popular with its trade partners in the Middle East, USA and Latin America says Lowcostbeds, part of the lowcosttravelgroup.
A recent study in the UK by ABTA reports that city breaks are now just as popular as beach destinations with 41% of travellers taking city breaks in the last 12 months, which is the same percentage as those choosing beach holidays.
"What was perhaps seen as a luxury two to three years ago is now increasingly more common.
"City break demand is back across all of Europe.
"Additionally, hoteliers are becoming more flexible and there are deals and exclusives to be had with the right relationships," said Paul Riches, group director of sales, lowcosttravelgroup.
He added that Barcelona remains a top seller.
