The UK was blamed for the bulk of Thomas Cook Group’s difficulties in the year to September 30, with the operator saying the market was “particularly hard hit”.
A series of measures to remedy the situation will include the selling of Thomas Cook Money products in shops. A Cook spokesperson explained: “We want to ensure the shops are not just selling holidays but other products like insurance, foreign exchange and pre-paid travel cards.”
He added that Cook would have 200 own brand hotels next year and that these would be a focus: “The big thing is to ensure we send more people to our own brand hotels,” he said. He added there were no job losses planned.
