Cheapflights, the UK's leading travel website, has expanded its dedicated short breaks section following an increase in web traffic to the specialist section.
The seven new short break destinations to be featured on the site are Copenhagen, Helsinki, Las Vegas, Reykjavik, Stockholm, Toronto and Hong Kong.
Says David Soskin, joint CEO: "Our traffic figures to the site over July and August have shown a significant growth in interest for the dedicated Shortbreaks section, during a difficult time for the travel industry. The increase in the number of destinations featured will bring a welcome boost one of the most popular areas of Cheapflights site."
