Rental investors in major European cities could be set to see high occupancy rates this weekend.

According to the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA), about two million Britons plan to enjoy their time off at Easter by heading to places such as Spain.

The organisation has said that city breaks are proving to be especially popular holiday options for leisure travellers this year.
