CTTG in move to centralise deals

THE CO-OPERATIVE Travel Trading Group has told operators the level of support they give over the next six months will determine whether or not they will be racked after September.

In a letter to suppliers, CTTG chief operating officer Mike Greenacre said individual agreements between them and the five Co-op group members will remain in place until September 30.

After that, CTTG will negotiate a central deal with operators for all five Co-ops.

The letter has worried some operators who are concerned a central deal will mean CTTG wanting more commission or having to pay the top level it now pays to one Co-op to the whole group.

One operator, who asked to remain anonymous, said: “As far as I am concerned, they have a good deal in place and they will not get any more money out of us.”
