Destination Services, a provider of incoming services to the travel trade and part of Hotelbeds Group, has announced a year-on-year upsurge of 26% in bookings from the German source market for its specialist destinations during the October to January period.
This increase is mainly driven by interest for groups and Fully Independent Travellers (FIT) roundtrip products.
South Africa (+55%) and Kenya (+41%) have been the fastest growing specialist destinations for the German market in the last four months. Other popular routes have included: Namibia, India, Peru, Tanzania and Mauritius.
Jordi Cerdó, Destination Services Managing Director, commented: “In the German source market we foresee a growing trend of opting for bespoke holidays, more people are investing in having unique and memorable experiences and opting for longer trips. Our strategy is to grow to be the leader in roundtrip products in destination by continuing to grow the many exclusive services and range of experiences we offer. Additionally we hope to grow further by leveraging Hotelbeds Group´s technology at the service of our clients to ensure efficiencies and simplicity across the distribution process.”
