Group Structure

The Timeline - Rapid Growth & Finacially Stable

Non-Risk Tour Operating

The dynamic model

  • Traditional model is about committed asset management
  • Good early profits are eroded by losses on lates
  • Technology now allows a non risk model, where you do not suffer late loses
  • Excess seats mean owning a airline is currently a strategic disadvantage
  • New players can take lower earlier margins since not need to subsidies late losses
  • 44% of holidays sold within three months of departure and 68% sold at loss
Just In Time Model

How can dynamic packaging be cheaper?

Flight prices

  • Conflict of pricing models between charter and low cost
  • Using low cost carriers early gives a £60 price advantage
  • Switch to heavily discounted charter seats for "lates"

Accommodation Costs

  • DP can bring distressed stock to market much quicker, because no brochures or seats to beds restrictions
  • Model is much more flexible for hoteliers
  • DP is not about cheap 3 star self-catering but distressed 4/5 star hotels and all inclusive

Operating Efficiences

  • Everything electronically based. No brochures, electronic booking and invoicing etc
  • 500k pax operated by 61 staff. Dramatically more efficient
