Phil Gardner, sales, e-commerce and marketing director, said: “There’s no denying it’s been a tough 12 months for the travel industry from last summer’s prolonged heatwave to Brexit uncertainty and clearly Thomas Cook has been making headlines quite a bit recently.

“Our new campaign aims to remind the Great British public that Thomas Cook is here to help make memories that will last a lifetime. As always our own-brand hotels sit at the heart of what we offer to our customers and show that we have our finger on the pulse to curate holidays that best suit our customers’ needs – today and in the future.”
