Overseas Holiday Operator Thomas Cook Shares collapse on Bank Talks

Shares in leading Overseas Holiday Operator Thomas Cook Group fell by more than 50% in trading today following news that it was again in talks with it’s banks for funding to see it through the tough Christmas period.

Thomas Cook Group operate many leading holiday brands in the UK. The largest of which is Thomas Cook Holidays who are one of the biggest Overseas Holiday Operators.

Thomas Cook Group shares fell to under 15p each today after being as high as 200p less than a year ago.

If you have booked your Overseas Holiday with Thomas Cook you can rest assured that you are protected by ATOL and it does seem unlikely that the company would be allowed to fail in the short term.

The UK press reported: “Thomas Cook is running low on cash and has begun talks with its banks, in an effort to increase its borrowings to tide it over the slow Christmas season.” It added, “Shares in the tour operator fell by more than three quarters on Tuesday morning after it admitted that trading has ‘deteriorated’ in recent months. It is now seeking to borrow more in the short term.”

A Thomas Cook spokesperson said “discussions with banks were merely a prudent and pro-active move and the company still had cash in the bank”

Thomas Cook remain a major worldwide holiday operator and booking with them is more than likely to be trouble free. However, if you are concerned, then it may be a sensible option to book your overseas holiday with Thomson Holidays or First Choice Holidays who are both part of the financially stronger TUI Group.

Both Thomson and First Choice have fantastic reputations and offer a range of Overseas Package Holidays to suit all budgets.

Thomson also have a super range of Premium Overseas Holidays that can be booked using the Thomson Luxury Holidays part of their website.

Thomson’s sister company, First Choice Holidays now specialise in All-Inclusive Overseas Holidays.

It’s certainly a tough time for all holiday travel operators but don’t let it put you off taking a lovely holiday overseas. Both First Choice Holidays and Thomson Holidays offer a safe and secure way to book fabulous package holidays worldwide.

Travel News : Thomas Cook Issues Profit Warning

Thomas Cook Group who are a popular operator of flights and package holidays worldwide have issued their third profits warning of the year leaving their shares down 30% as investors took fright. Thomas Cook Group shares now trade at just 72p, a third of their value of over 200p just a year ago. They are now at their lowest level since the merger with troubled MyTravel in 2007.

Thomas Cook Group is well known worldwide and trades as Thomas Cook Holidays as well as other leading names such as Airtours, Club 18-30 Holidays, Cresta, Cruise Thomas Cook, Direct Holidays, Elegant Resorts, Flexibletrips, Flythomascook.com, Gold Medal, Hotels4u, Manos, Medhotels, Neilson, Netflights, Panorama, Pure Luxury, Sentido, Style Holidays, Sunset, Sunworld Holidays, Swiss Travel Service, Thomas Cook, Thomas Cook Signature, Thomas Cook Tours and Thomas Cook Sport.

All Thomas Cook Group Worldwide bookings are fully protected by ATOL so you can rest assured that your money is safe if you have booked a package holiday with them.

Analyst Morgan Stanley suggested the group would be in “a tough discussion with its banks – we forecast Thomas Cook will come close to its debt covenants in the next six months – while we don’t think it’s that bad, market leaders have collapsed before”.

Press reports indicate that the rival leading worldwide package holiday operator TUI Group is felt to be in a much stronger position financially and it’s share price has proven more stable in the current uncertain market reflecting investor confidence in TUI Group.

TUI Group has a fantastic worldwide holiday offering through it’s leading brands Thomson Holidays and First Choice Holidays who both have excellent reputations in the worldwide holiday market.

If we were looking for peace-of-mind for our Package Holiday Booking then the Worldwide-Traveller team would feel far happier booking online with either Thomson Holidays or First Choice Holidays given the current financial uncertainty.

Worldwide Package Holidays

Worldwide-Traveller has found that the major Worldwide package holiday tour operators are enjoying a massive resurgence at the expense of smaller lesser known operators.

Worldwide holidaymakers are being driven by the safety and security of a big travel brand after seeing several smaller Worldwide holiday operators fail over recent months.

Visitors Worldwide are also finding that they prefer the ease of a package holiday over the DIY craze of a few years back. Booking your Worldwide Package Holiday, especially with a well respected market leader, takes much of the stress and strain out of travelling.

Most of the large Worldwide package holiday operators have responded to price competition and can now offer Worldwide package holidays at very similar prices to holidaymakers making independent arrangements.

The obvious choices for your Worldwide package holiday are the really big players in the package holiday market, Thomson Holidays, First Choice Holidays and Thomas Cook Holidays .

However the second tier of holiday operators also have a long track-record and offer some varied resorts and accommodation to the larger holiday players. A few of the second tier operators are destination specialists so don’t all offer all Worldwide Package Holidays but they’re always worth remembering. The most obvious choices are Jet2 Holidays, Cosmos Holidays, Olympic Holidays, Balkan Holidays and Style Holidays .

If you’re young and enjoy partying then don’t forget Club 18-30 Holidays .

Those who prefer something special in their Worldwide Holiday at reasonable prices should check out Thomson Luxury Holidays .

The great thing is that there is clearly plenty of choice when booking your Worldwide Package Holiday. The team here at Worldwide-Traveller just have one final suggestion and that’s to check out the reviews section of the Thomson Holiday Reviews website before you book anything. It’s full of great ideas and suggestions from real holidaymakers.
