Travelzest relaunches flight.co.uk and holiday.co.uk – 7 Dec 2006

Travelzest is relaunching flight.co.uk and holiday.co.uk in a bid to drive more sales to its niche operators.


Chief executive Chris Mottershead said the sites will have an expanded product range and click-through buttons to its operators including Peng Travel, Faraway Holidays and Best of Morocco.


He added: “Both sites will also offer ancillaries like car parking and car hire in the first quarter of next year.”


Meanwhile Mottershead expects to launch the new Tapestry Holidays programme as direct-sell only before Christmas having acquired its assets for £55,000.


The operator will target up to 3,500 customers next year but has made no accommodation or flight commitments. “The customer numbers have been reduced but it’ll be profitable,” Mottershead said.


More Travelzest acquisitions are likely but the company is focusing on maximising profits from current businesses, said Mottershead, although there are plans to launch a start-up tour operator within the next month.
