Summer loving as Paris tops city break chart for Co-op Travel Shop romantics
According to the www.cooptravelshop.co.uk the French capital has proved to be the top spot for local travellers looking for a quick getaway, beating popular destinations such as Prague and Barcelona.eCommerce Marketing Manager, Paul Drew said: “Paris has always been a favourite for people planning to jet away at all times of the year. It’s good to see that the rise in trips to other destinations – such as Prague and Amsterdam - hasn’t dented its popularity. “Paris has something to offer everyone, and the huge interest surrounding the new ‘The Da Vinci Code’ film, in which Paris features heavily, may have inspired many people to make it their top choice this Summer.“There’s plenty of things to keep visitors entertained thanks to the ever-expanding range of museums, exhibitions and attractions, and there are a variety of packages available for both the budget and luxury ends of the market, giving everyone the opportunity to enjoy the sights.”Other city break destinations proving popular for Summer with www.cooptravelshop.co.uk’s holidaymakers include Dublin, Amsterdam, Prague, Majorca and Malaga. Paul added: “It’s no surprise that Majorca and Malaga are in the top five Summer city break destinations for this year. There’s a new travel trend emerging now, where people are going to traditional package holiday destinations for a long, three-night weekend, instead of a one or two-week holiday.“This can be attributed to the fact that changes in the air travel market, such as the rise of low-cost airlines, and increasing technology now allow travel agents to offer much greater flexibility and choice than ever before. “City breaks are a good option for people who want to get away often. They give you the opportunity to see everything a city has to offer condensed in a few days. We’ve certainly seen an increase in the number of people booking city breaks over the past few years and this is set to continue – according to industry figures almost six million people took a city break last year.”The top city break destinations where (town) couples are headed this Summer are:1.Paris, including Disneyland Paris= 2.
