Wizz Air Launches AI-Powered Wizz Holidays Booking Platform

Wizz Air is expanding beyond its traditional low-cost airline model with the launch of Wizz Holidays, a new AI-powered platform that allows travellers to book flights, accommodation and airport transfers in a single transaction.

The move reflects a broader shift in the travel industry, where airlines are increasingly looking to capture more of the customer journey by offering integrated holiday packages alongside flights.

A Simpler Way To Book Holidays

Built around artificial intelligence, Wizz Holidays is designed to simplify trip planning by combining multiple travel services into one booking. Rather than arranging flights, hotels and transfers separately, customers can organize an entire holiday through a single platform.

One of its key features is support for multi-city and multimodal itineraries, allowing travellers to include several destinations within the same trip. The platform also uses AI-powered keyword searches to recommend destinations based on broader interests, such as beach holidays, city breaks or skiing, without requiring users to specify every travel detail.

For those with flexible plans, Wizz Holidays includes an “Anytime Anywhere” discovery tool that highlights available deals across the airline’s network, reflecting the growing demand for travel inspiration rather than destination-specific searches.

Expanding Beyond Flights

Wizz Air says holiday packages will include exclusive bundled pricing, giving customers access to lower combined rates than booking flights, hotels and transfers separately.

The launch also reflects a wider commercial strategy. As competition intensifies across the airline industry, carriers are increasingly relying on higher-margin ancillary services to diversify revenue, making the overall travel experience just as important as the flight itself.

AI At The Centre Of The Strategy

“Today we are celebrating more than just the launch of WIZZ Holidays – we are introducing a smarter way to travel,” said Silvia Mosquera, Chief Commercial Officer at Wizz Air.

“By pairing our extensive low-fare network with AI technology, we have removed the friction from trip planning and help create unforgettable travel experiences,” she added.

Under the slogan “Unpackage Yourself,” the airline says the platform is designed to give travellers greater flexibility while making it easier to build multi-destination trips.

For Wizz Air, the launch signals a broader ambition to evolve from a low-cost airline into a more comprehensive travel platform. For customers, it offers a simpler booking experience built around convenience, flexibility and AI-driven recommendations.

€50 Million Luxury Resort Planned For Ayia Napa

Ayia Napa could strengthen its position in the premium tourism market with a proposed €50 million mixed-use resort combining a hotel, serviced apartments, luxury bungalows and a beach club.

Aesara Investments Ltd has submitted an information form to the Department of Environment for a development to operate under the name Atlantica Wavemaster Hospitality. The project is planned for the Limnara area of Ayia Napa, along the coast south of Kryou Nerou Avenue, between the town centre and Cape Greco.

Hotel, Apartments And Luxury Bungalows

The proposed resort will include a 324-room hotel with capacity for 648 guests, alongside a condo-hotel building containing 20 one- and two-bedroom apartments. Facilities are planned to include restaurants, bars, cafés, a spa with an indoor pool, a gym, shops, a multipurpose hall, a children’s club and a cinema.

A further 33 three-level luxury bungalows, each designed for two guests and featuring a private swimming pool, are planned for the southern part of the site. A beach club with a restaurant and an outdoor pool complex covering more than 6,300 square metres will also form part of the development.

The project includes 321 parking spaces, including 12 for people with disabilities, and 14,196 square metres of landscaped green space featuring local plant species.

Seasonal Hotel Operations And Year-Round Residences

The hotel is expected to operate from March to November, with peak occupancy during the summer season. The condo-hotel apartments, meanwhile, will be available for sale or long-term rental and intended for year-round residence. Owners and tenants will also have access to the resort’s facilities, including its pools, restaurants and fitness areas.

Construction is expected to take 24 months once the required permits are secured. At the busiest stage, the project could employ around 100 workers per day.

Environmental Restrictions Near Cape Greco

The site’s proximity to protected Natura 2000 areas has prompted strict environmental requirements. The Cape Greco Special Protection Area borders the site to the south, while a Special Area of Conservation lies approximately 50 metres away.

Conditions imposed by the Department of Environment include a maximum building height of five floors, or 18.5 metres, and restrictions on permanent structures near the coastline. The project must also use spider-web type glazing and low-intensity lighting to minimise disturbance to local birdlife.

According to the project’s consultants, the design has been prepared to comply with the environmental conditions and the final report on cumulative impacts for the Cape Greco Special Protection Area. The hotel and apartment building are positioned in the central and northern parts of the plot, away from the shoreline.

Within the designated no-build zone, located 40 metres from the boundary of the beach protection zone, only swimming pools are planned. The consultants state that these are not expected to affect protected species in the area.
