ITY-BREAK specialist Time Off has added six cities to its 2001 programme to meet the growing demand for short breaks.

annes, Monte arlo, Ghent, Antwerp, Zurich and Marrakech are all new and take the choice of cities on offer up to 37. There are also additional hotels in popular cities like New York, Barcelona and Paris and new tailor-made self-drive packages based on travel by ferry or Eurotunnel for independent travellers.

“We had such a lot of demand for Ghent and Antwerp last year even though they were not in the brochure that we decided to include them for 2001,” said reservations manager Wendy Holiday. “Ghent is a good alternative to

Bruges, which is always very busy, and people are looking for somewhere a bit different,” she added.

Holiday said New York, Paris and Barcelona are selling very well, with Barcelona now the third best-selling city after Paris and Amsterdam.

“Bookings to the city are 30% up on the same time last year,” she said.
