WITH three out of four people admitting that they aren’t going to be holidaying abroad this year, Hastings Hotels is taking the hard work out of planning a summer staycation in Northern Ireland with the launch of a fabulous selection of breaks across its seven properties, including the ‘Coast & City Twincation’ and the ‘Causeway Coastal Food Tour Staycation’
Julie Hastings, Marketing Director of Hastings Hotels said: “With many of us enjoying summer closer to home this year, we wanted to provide some inspiration on what there is to see and do across Northern Ireland. We are blessed with lots of stunning scenery, coastal walks, beaches and attractions and we are encouraging people to take this opportunity to explore. We’ve created a lovely selection of summer staycations including the Coast & City Twincation and the Causeway Coastal Food Tour Staycation and we hope it will give people a nice taste of what is on offer.”
