Jorg Herrmann took over as Hotelplan HHD chief executive on 8 April and has been quick to reiterate this week the division’s commitment to the trade, particularly in the UK.
Hotelplan revealed self-catering specialist Interhome’s sales are currently up 27% in the UK and Ireland this year after “several successive years” of double-digit growth. This growth, says Hotelplan, has been “mainly driven” by the trade, which now accounts for 75% of Interhome bookings in the UK and Ireland.
