I NOTICED a report (Travel Weekly April 19) which suggested that industry sources had stated that ARTAC Worldchoice would have to settle for worse commercial deals because it had lost the extra buying power of the multiple.
May I make clear that ARTAC Worldchoice will not be settling for any deals below current levels from any supplier Indeed, we see the twin brand strategy of Thomas Cook and Worldchoice as working very much to our advantage as ARTACoutsells virtually all multiples with specialist suppliers.
