Thomas Cook to set out strategy


Monday 18th February 2013, 3:10am

MARION DAKERS

TRAVEL group Thomas Cook will this week unveil its latest plans to turn around its fortunes, following an in-depth review of the business led by new chief executive Harriet Green.

Green, who was appointed in July 2012, was tasked with shaking up the company after a string of profit warnings.

Reports at the weekend said the firm was considering selling its Neilson skiing brand to help pay down a £1.6bn debt pile, though a spokesperson declined to comment on “pure speculation”.

The world’s oldest travel group said earlier this month that Condor, its German airline brand, Thomas Cook Airlines UK and Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium would become one airline segment within the group from 1 March.

Thomas Cook adds dynamic packaging to its website

Thomas Cook can now offer dynamic packages direct from its ThomasCook.com website using Flexibletrips - the specialist dynamic package brand.


The operator is to offer more flexible holiday options than the traditional seven or 14 night packages with the help of software company Multicom.

Multicom engineered the technology to allow the dynamic components to be scanned and fed into the Thomas Cook site.

Multicom managing director John Howell said: "Through our existing relationship with the specialist business Flexibletrips we were able to design the system to deliver the solution for Thomas Cook.

"As a result dynamic packages have in effect come full circle and are now providing the elements for package holidays!"

Thomas Cook's Matt Smith Head of IT added: "Multicom has helped to identify and implement a solution to bridge the gap between airline capacity, beds and durations to provide greater flexibility, access to package destinations previously not featured, more hotel choice and a better range of flight options which ultimately provides better choice for our customers by utilising the technology that powers the Flexibletrips business."

The Capital Markets Morning, to be held in March, will update on the progress of its business transformation and the new strategy of the Group ahead of its second quarter results in May.

Getting interesting now, will this sail through the next big psychological test of £1 quickly, or will it need two or three attempts?
