TRAVELLERS from the Middle East seeking Eid getaways are choosing destinations within a four- to five-hour flight, according to leading global hotelier Hyatt. With Eid breaks tending to last no longer than a week, holiday makers are still choosing to travel but stay within a short flight from their home cities, maximising their time away as much as possible.
“Travellers from the Middle East tend to want to stay close to home when holidaying, especially for short breaks. With the upcoming Eid Al Fitr holiday, we foresee a large number of travellers looking for a holiday experience which provides luxury and style, but within a short distance from home to maximize their time away,” said Thierry Bertin, vice president World Wide Sales, Hyatt International – South West Asia.
