Hotelplan’s UK brands are safe in the hands of a group that has experience managing heritage brands and will allow them to play to their own individual strengths, experts have told TTG, although the group’s sale to Kuoni’s German parent Dertour has raised questions about consolidation in the UK and European tour operating market.

Dertour Group on Wednesday (12 February) confirmed it had acquired Hotelplan Group, including its UK trade-facing brands Inghams, Explore Worldwide, Santa’s Lapland and Inntravel. These outfits will continue to operate as usual through their well-established trade channels, Dertour confirmed.
