Travel Agencies Catalan estimated reserves on Easter 80%


The Catalan Union of Travel Agencies Stations (Uncave) has ensured that the volume of bookings for Easter remains "similar to the levels of previous years, with sales close to 80% of offered amount’’. The Uncave said in a Barcelona hotels statement that its agents had noticed "a greater increase in the time it takes to decide the customer control over prices", but this has not affected the billing.

With regard to the type of sales in, travel agencies stations highlighted the increasing demand for Barcelona hotels and our products on the supply side of the tour operators and travel combined with wholesalers. In addition, they stated that the fact that this year the holidays are for the month of March has meant that "you have less time to make reservations in Barcelona hotels", although this has been offset by some sales ahead of the summer season.

Prices for the packages range from 1,000 contracted euros for medium-haul and short (major European capitals) and 1,800 euros for long-haul travel.
