Newmarket Holidays reported a bumper quarter for Europe group tours.
Bookings for short haul departures in 2023 are up by 66% on the same period in 2022.
It includes a 70% increase in June.
Newmarket last week launched a new campaign to help agents capitalize on Europe group tours demand.
Top performing destinations are the Scottish Highlands, Croatia and Italy, as it launched new group tours over the past 12 months.
Newmarket Holidays launched a 15% saving on a wide range of its European holidays until 31 March, with departures from regional hubs including Aberdeen, Bournemouth and Cardiff.
Richard Forde, Head of Trade Sales said: “Our booking trends show that people are desperate to get away and don’t want to delay.
“This short haul campaign is a great opportunity for agents to capitalise on last-minute travel.”
