Whilst Britain’s exit from the EU will make 2019 a year like no other for the travel industry, this report indicates that holidays are not something that people will forgo easily.

Post the acquisition, both India and Hong Kong travel businesses will become subsidiaries of Thomas Cook and would function independently. "Our acquisition of Kuoni's tour operating and retailing businesses in India and Hong Kong as well as the Indian inbound business reaffirms our belief in the India market potential, as also our strategic intent to explore viable geographies, including the larger Asia opportunity," Prem Watsa, chairman and CEO, Fairfax Financial Holdings said in a press statement.

  • The Kuoni Worldwide Trends Report 2018 INTRODUCTION
    the kuoni worldwide trends report 2018 INTRODUCTION It’s almost 40 years since Kuoni launched its first trends report, which was originally a simple sales overview of long-haul destinations. Those early reports were introduced at a time when tourism in the Maldives was embryonic and all the company’s sales came through travel agents. Today the travel landscape is complex and competitive, yet Kuoni retains its status as the market leader in premium travel. The 2018 report reflects not only where people are going around the world to relax, explore and restore at all stages of life, but how people are being inspired to book. This year we explore more about shopping for holidays in a digital age, when the whole world is online at our fingertips. Yet despite transformational technology, there is a growing thirst for expertise. Conversations are still at the heart of holidays, from planning them to remembering them in the years that follow. Trust has never been more vital when it comes to travel. Political upheaval and economic uncertainty are permanent fixtures in the life of a travel company and 2018 is already providing plenty of obstacles and opportunities to navigate, from royal honeymoons and rising interest rates to a change of leadership in Zimbabwe. This report is created by experts. We’ve delved deep into data, reviewed booking patterns and consulted with more than 300 Personal Travel Experts. Every year destinations go up and some come down in popularity, but one thing is overwhelmingly clear. The experience of travel has never been more in demand.

  • The Top 500 Companies in the South
    THE TOP 500 COMPANIES IN THE SOUTH 2013 edition THE TOP 500 COMPANIES IN THE SOUTH The information for the ranking which follows is according to the latest audited accounts filed or made available by Friday 4th January. To qualify for inclusion, a company has its functioning head office or registered office at which directors are based within Berkshire, Dorset, East Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Surrey (including Croydon, Kingston-upon-Thames, Richmond-upon- Thames, Sutton), West Sussex, Wiltshire. If a company has a number of sites in the UK, and its accounts reflect them all, then it is included only if its base within the above geographical location is considered to be its main location. Where a number of companies are part of a group which is also based in the above geographical location, and the accounts are consolidated, then the group company is the one which is included. If a number of companies are part of a group which has its head office elsewhere, then the individual companies will each be listed with their own specific figures. No existing ranking or format exists as a basis for the information which has been compiled solely by DECISION magazine. In the index, a dash or blank space in a year-on-year comparison column means that no data exists for one of the two financial years in question.
