  • UK Office April 2020 TDC Report Prepared By
    UK Office April 2020 TDC Report Prepared by: Venessa Alexander UK Director Tour Operators 360 Private Travel - We spoke to Zia Bapuji, Supplier Partnerships Director at 360 Private Travel. The business operates as an invite-only, high-end luxury travel concierge service. Zia advised that eight members of the head office team have been furloughed for the foreseeable future; the business’s luxury travel consultants are all self-employed individuals that are continuing to work to support their customers, however, it is an extremely difficult period; bookings with values exceeding £100k are being lost. One significant difference for this operator is the customer is more willing (perhaps able?) to leave any monies paid to 360 with the operator and defer it to another trip later in 2020 or 2021. Zia noted that many suppliers (hotels, airlines) are no longer offering refunds and will only provide credit notes, which means the business/its consultants will be at a loss in situations where the customer wishes to cancel for a full refund. Ocean Holidays - We spoke to Lisa Airey, Commercial Manager. Lisa advised the business is currently working week-to-week dealing with upcoming bookings making amendments or cancellations. The majority are amending trips to the end of 2020 or 2021 but there are some cancellations, and this is of concern to the business because of the hit to cash flow. They have contacted all customers due to travel up to the middle of June and expect to have spoken to those travelling up to 30 June within the next couple of days.

Biography Library of Congress Control Number: 2004112444 INTRODUCTION This book tells a classic American success story. It is the story of a boy who grew up in a poor immigrant family in a poor neighborhood, and who, by means of brains, hard work, and old-fashioned values, rose to prominence in a mega-cor- poration and accumulated a sizable fortune—though not fame—along the way. If ever there was one, Thomas Elmezzi is an American boy who made good. But this is more than a success story—or, better said, it is a story show- ing that there is more than one way to succeed. Tom Elmezzi, who recently turned 89, has not chosen to turn his success into the material trappings that usually accompany the achievement of wealth. He and his wife, Jeanne, have lived for 50 years in the same five-room rented apartment in Great Neck, New York. He has never owned a home, let alone vacation property, though he could comfortably afford both. He doesn’t possess art treasures or a wine cellar. He was once part owner of a boat, but no more.

It has been an exciting year of growth for the Company as we have seen major advancements in a number of key areas. 2017 marks the first year where the Company reported annual positive net cash-flows from its operating activities. Cash receipts from customers and other sources were four times larger than the 2016 financial year, placing the company in a strong position for growth and expansion in the 2018 financial year. The company is experiencing continued demand for its video subscription products and the sales results for the year reflect this. The Company continues to adopt a conservative approach to recognising its revenue and reflects revenue from video subscriptions over the annual membership period. However even on this conservative recognition model, accounting revenue increased by 429%. The Company’s strong results have also been reflected in the share price which increased 930% between market close 30 June 2016 and market close 30 June 2017.
