Hotelbeds has seen a significant rebound in demand since the start of 2023, including securing its best booking fortnight by revenue in its history, securing more reservations from 9-22 January than ever before. During peak times, Hotelbeds recorded one booking per second.
Carlos Muñoz Capllonch, Hotelbeds’ Chief Commercial Officer said: “January is often a popular holiday booking month as people return to work and book holidays to look forward to later in the year. The traffic we saw earlier this month, not only demonstrates the demand we have, but also the robustness of our systems to work seamlessly and ensure smooth operations for our global clients.”
