MISERY FOR SMALL TRAVEL FIRMS... AND THEIR CUSTOMERS
The laws of unintended consequences apply in the world of travel businesses just like anywhere else it seems. The recent failures of 3 small tour operators has been big news and a huge source of hassle and heartache for thousands of holidaymakers, as well as hundreds of employees at the firms and their sub-contractors. Now it appears that big boys First Choice and Thomson are reporting a massive surge in bookings as travellers shy away from the potentially more vulnerable smaller operators. The net result - even harder times for the little guys and increased likelihood of more failures to come.
