Paul Cleary, Caribtours chief executive, has confirmed he will stay on with the operator following the merger. He said the partners would “learn from each other”.
"We can see what they are doing possibly in the Far East and certainly in Africa, it gives us an easy entry if we want to,” Cleary told TTG.
However, he ruled out expanding the Caribtours brand to Australia, another ID destination, “at the moment”. “What agents don’t want to see is you expanding just because you can,” he said.
ID Travel Group was founded as Island Destinations by UK-born Maurice Bonham-Carter, a former investment banker who moved into tourism.
