The boss of Advantage has denied the launch of its own tour operator will lead to a change in its relationship with the trade.

Answering questions at the ITT Odyssey supper where she was the speaker, Advantage Travel Partnership managing director Julia Lo Bue-Said said the newly launched Advantage Holidays would allow agents to dynamically package trips without having their own Atol.

She added: “Sometimes there’s business we can’t put through a tour operator.”

She also refused to be drawn on the forthcoming Brexit vote and would not share her own opinions on it, adding: “Members make their own decisions.

“We all probably have a view in our hearts and we all have a view in our heads and it is which one we choose.”
