Leading independent travel provider

We continue to develop our independent travel business and are benefiting from the rapid growth in this area.

Accessing the UK’s largest hotel network

The acquisition of Hotels4U.com, the UK’s largest independent bed bank, enhanced the Group’s independent travel offering considerably. Hotels4U sells exclusively over the internet, providing accommodation and resort transfers to over 500,000 customers per annum. It has access to more than 30,000 hotels internationally. Our recently acquired business in India has been among the first to take advantage of including Hotels4U stock in their European holiday programmes.

Leading the Canadian independent travel market

By acquiring TriWest Travel with its two principal brands, Fun Sun, an independent travel wholesaler, and Intair, a leading airline consolidator, we are creating a leading Canadian independent travel business with significantly enhanced customer reach and product offerings. The business will increase our independent travel profits and improve our year-round profitability, which is currently skewed towards the winter.
