TUI has expanded its city break holiday packages with the addition of two popular destinations, giving British travellers more choice for short getaways. Alicante in Spain and Salzburg in Austria are now available as part of the operator's growing range of package deals, bringing the total number of city breaks on offer to 57.
What the new destinations offer
Salzburg is described as a lively city offering culture, museums, mountain scenery and architecture, along with local bars, beer and traditional food vendors. Alicante combines relaxing beach days with a city centre full of history and architecture ranging from Medieval to Modernist, with local bars along the marina.
TUI already offers city breaks to Paris, Dubai, Rome, Amsterdam and New York. In the lead-up to Christmas, festive options include Berlin, Krakow, Prague, Budapest and Gdansk, which are among the destinations known for European Christmas markets.
Expansion through partnership
Chris Logan, Commercial Director of TUI UK & I, said: "Our cities programme is growing from strength to strength and we're really excited that we are continuing to expand our offering to more and more destinations. We've been able to add Salzburg and Alicante to our portfolio due to our recently launched dynamic partnership with Ryanair which means we offer great flexibility and choice powered by our strong supplier partnerships."
Logan added: "Alicante and Salzburg have plenty to offer from cultural sights to relaxing on the beach and we can't wait for our customers to explore these exciting new destinations. We now have 57 cities on offer, and we're excited to see our city break programme continue to expand thanks to our Ryanair partnership."
Across TUI's wider network, the airline flies to destinations including Greece, Italy, Slovenia, Tanzania, Cape Verde and Morocco, with most services operating two or three times a week.
