US and Caribbean specialist Funway Holidays has been sold to US travel giant Apple Leisure Group, which owns several brands including Southwest Airlines Vacations, United Vacations and AMResorts.
The group, which acquired Funway on September 1, said the company would complement its other brands, including its London-based tour operation Travel Impressions.
Funway MD Melissa Tilling and Travel Impression’s vice president Carla van der Giesen will both report to Travel Impressions’ president Scott Wiseman.
ALG, which is the largest seller of holiday packages and charter flights in the US for travel to Mexico and the Caribbean, said Funway would join the group as a ‘companion company’ to Travel Impressions.
It has not put a figure on the acquisition of Funway, which it bought from William La Macchia.
