Midcounties Co-operative Travel has partnered with Holiday Extras, Flexible Autos and Attraction World for the Stronger Together initiative, aiming to highlight how increasing sales of travel extras can “add value and protect agents’ margins” as the trade braces for new consumer laws outlawing card payment charges from January 13.
Rad Sofronijevic, chief operating officer at Midcounties, told TTG the implementation of PSD2, which will prohibit businesses from charging customers for paying by debit and credit cards, was “even more reason” to focus on the benefits of ancillaries and foster greater collaboration.
