Lunn Poly has written to independent tour operators offering to sell their product via its bookable Web site which launches next year.
In a letter leaked to Travel Weekly, Lunn Poly buyer Colette Martin revealed the multiple was ‘looking at developing some new retail store concepts and pursuing some significant initiatives in the area of e-commerce.’ Martin declined to disclose further details until commercial terms had been agreed but superstores are believed to be part of the proposals under consideration.
The multiple has asked any operators interested to write with commission levels they are prepared to pay in order to sell their products on-line.
AThomson Travel Group spokesman declined to reveal further details of the initiative.
