Youtravel.com has branched out into the city breaks market, with a portfolio of 3,000 hotels in 250 destinations.
Sales and marketing director Paul Riches said: ‘Previously youtravel.com has offered a handful of hotels in Spanish and Italian cities.
‘However due to the increasing demand from our trade partners we have launched a full and broad cities portfolio which has now doubled the total number of hotels available on our site.
‘Youtravel.com is about to enter its third year of trading and this move to expand our product range to include cities illustrates the buoyancy of our business and indeed the confidence and loyalty we have seen from our agent partners so far.’
The new cities programme offers properties from two to five-star and all have with instant online confirmation.
Riches added: ‘We have also negotiated short release periods so that we’re able to offer our trade partners last-minute sales opportunities.’
Sample prices include New York from £167 per room per night at the four-star Excelsior Hotel, and Krakow from £26 per room per night at the three-star Start Hotel.
Youtravel.com completed its second year of trading in October and expects full-year figures to show the company made pre-tax profits of €500,000 (£411,936).
