Comments from the chairman – Bill Munro – also claim “many travellers are now rejecting online travel agents because of service issues”.

The firm’s parent company – Barrhead Travel 2007 – has posted its accounts up to the end of 2015, which show operating profit has leapt from £1.7 million in 2014 to £3 million.
