Hastings Hotels has launched two new staycation packages: ?Coast & City Twincation? and Causeway Coastal Food Tour Staycation, as well as some other summer staycation packages across seven properties in Northern Ireland.
The decision to introduce these staycation packages was influenced by the findings of a recent survey, which found that 67% of staycations were concentrated around coastal destinations, which are deemed more attractive by holidaygoers.
In addition, the findings suggested that 17% respondents chose a city break; while 11% chose countryside locations and at least three out of four people were not inclined to holiday abroad this year.
The Coast & City Twincation at Slieve Donard Resort & Spa and Europa Hotel package offers a four-night staycation with breakfast each morning, with prices starting at ?270 per person. Guests can spend two nights at the Slieve Donard Resort & Spa, in the coastal town of Newcastle. Located next to Royal County Down, the hotel offers incredible views of the Mourne Mountains.
