Holiday Extras clinches Thomas Cook contract
Holiday Extras has been appointed by Thomas Cook as suppliers for airport parking, lounges and rail travel to airports.
Thomas Cook UK & Ireland businesses will be able to book the holiday add-ons through the Thomas Cook intranet system.
Following the company’s recent acquisition of BCP, Holiday Extras offers more than 60 car parks at 26 UK airports including 11 owned car parks. The expanding portfolio also includes lounges at 16 UK airports and rail travel to eight airports.
Holiday Extras is to run ongoing training sessions, incentives and managers’ meetings to ensure that all Thomas Cook agents are aware of the products and deals available.
Marc Bennett, Thomas Cook director of trade relations, said Holiday Extras had an “excellent selling system, product range and sales team which will enable us to develop our productivity through a multi channelled sales approach”.
The add-on company’s sales director Howard Dove said: “This is a great chance for agents to grow sales and we hope that as a result of this contact, many travellers will be able to experience Holiday Extras products for the first time.”
The company will also be offering top performing Thomas Cook agents incentives each week in January and February, including iPods, X.Box or similar and vouchers.
