Highlighting the destinations that garnered the most bookings this year, the top 10 cities in descending order include: Rome, Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, London, Porto, Barcelona, New York, Budapest, and Prague.

This significant expansion has occurred at Civitatis as a result of numerous strategic initiatives: significant staff growth has facilitated the provision of localised services and broader operations in strategic regions; a substantial increase in the range of activities offered has met rising market demands; Civitatis has also expanded its network of service providers and increased investments in marketing efforts.

Celebrating the achievement Alberto Gutiérrez, Founder and CEO at Civitatis, comments: “As we fast approach 10 million travellers per year for the first time, I would like to thank the whole Civitatis team for their commitment and innovation in making this happen – along with all our supplier partners, B2B sellers and additionally Vitruvian Partners for their financial backing. This places us amongst the top few of the world’s tours & activities sellers by volume and is a reflection of a long-held vision to focus on Spanish-speaking products – a ‘niche’ overlooked by many who forget that Spanish is the most spoken first language in the world outside of China.“
