Personally delighted as we can now book us five into his apts. Also we can book holiday durations that suit us, and we can be happy that Thannissis gets the money in his pocket to support his family.
We will do our very best to drum direct trade up for him, and I think they can really make a good go of it independently.
The customers they get from Thomsons can be hard work with little return anyway, i.e not as much bar trade these days etc. If he goes B&B for direct bookings, throws in a 10pm Happy Hour of sorts, they will thrive.
Modern life throws these kind of challenges at all of us, and they can definitely come out of this the right way.
