YORK-BASED tour operator Superbreak Mini-Holidays, has been appointed as the official hotel booking service of Visit London, formerly known as The London Tourist Board.

In support of its new appointment, Superbreak, which has offices on Piccadilly, has sent more than 200 of its reservations staff down to London over the last two months on educational weekends.

The staff visit key hotels, popular attractions, and see West End shows, to ensure that their product knowledge is second to none.

Superbreak features more than 200 hotels in London which is its top selling destination. A range of products are offered from overnight hotels stays to packages including theatres, private tours of Buckingham Palace and much more.

Ray Jones of Superbreak said: "Now we run the official hotel booking service for Visit London we felt it imperative to take our staff to London so they can experience just what this great city has to offer at first hand.

"Having now visited The West End, Kensington, Westminster, Docklands and The City we feel we have it covered!"
