Goodbye wanderlust!
Sharp rise: Following the announcement by some German states that hotels and restaurants will soon be re open, the adventure travel specialist records Ameropa one Tripling of booking figures compared to the previous week. Demand among German holidaymakers is particularly strong for trips within Germany and Switzerland.
Cycling and hiking trips are also very popular with holidaymakers. When traveling at home, most holidaymakers from Germany opt for popular regions such as the North Sea and Baltic Sea, the Bavarian Alps and Lake Constance. Cities with a lot of greenery, such as Dresden, Freiburg and Hamburg, also recorded significant growth, according to a recent analysis by the Bad Homburg-based tour operator. When traveling in Switzerland, rail hiking offers and rail adventure tours are particularly popular.
"The enormous growth in bookings proves that people are literally sitting on packed suitcases", summarizes Stephanie Schulze zur Wiesch, Managing Director of Ameropa. "Summer vacation is within reach for many people. The current progress in coronavirus vaccinations is also contributing to this. However, due to the expected run on popular travel destinations in Germany in particular, holidaymakers should decide quickly, as hotel and vacation accommodation capacities are limited."
The specialist for short-haul destinations has further expanded its portfolio in recent months and offers customers a wide range of options for a varied vacation. With Ameropa's new Flex Rate, vacationers can book carefree and remain flexible. Up to 14 days before arrival, customers who book the additional protection can cancel or rebook free of charge and without giving reasons. The Flex-Rate can be taken out from May 1 to September 30, 2021 for package tours consisting of hotel & train travel, city breaks and vacation trips including vacation apartments and theme parks in Germany and Europe as well as individual Switzerland round trips. Additional services such as tickets for musicals or amusement parks are also covered. The Flex rate also remains valid in the event of a rebooking, as it is simply transferred to the next trip.
