Europe is booming

Long established travel company, Cox & Kings, has seen a huge increase in the popularity of its European Journeys this year.

Its newly launched new Europe brochure for 2011, builds on this trend by featuring escorted group tours and private journeys across Eastern, Western and Southern Europe as well as tailor-made travel ideas and short breaks throughout the continent.

The company's European travel programme has steadily expanded over the last few years and 2010 has seen record sales with a 60% increase in passenger numbers compared with 2009. New for 2011 are four new group tours, new private journeys in Germany and Spain featuring the countries' rail networks, self-drive options in Spain and Italy and many new short-break destinations.

Cox & Kings' Europe Product Manager, Michael Fleetwood, says: "Cox & Kings' European programme is expanding and diversifying every year, and we are very excited to launch some new group tours to Eastern Europe and Turkey and also to be able to offer car hire to Italy and Spain. Travelling by car is a great way to get quickly to the heart of a destination and provides the greatest independence for being able to make unplanned diversions and stops as and when wanted. We also have a number of short breaks that involve travelling to the Continent by Eurostar for those that wish to avoid flying altogether."
