The company was one of the first to offer accommodation only and as such has built up a strong network of suppliers. Traditionally working with travel agents such as Thomson, Going Places and Thomas Cook, unpackaged holidays began marketing direct to the consumer in January 2005. This now accounts for 20% of the total business.
Accommodation ranges from basic, budget hotels in Prague, ideal for stag weekends to over the top luxurious hotels in Dubai. We have over 1700 properties that are contracted direct and thousands more available through a bed booking service called Hotel Bed’s. We are increasing our direct contracts year on year and we are committed to enhancing both our long haul and short haul destinations with new and exciting products. Our most popular destinations for 2006 are Mallorca, Costa del Sol, New York, Florida, Algarve, Nevada, Costa Blanca and California. Bookings tend to be groups of friends or couples. Families account for only a small amount of our business.
