This is a pity as ThomsonHolidays has been found by an independent survey to have the highest level of repeat bookers of the leading three UK air-inclusive holiday operators.
Thomson is the leading operator of UK inclusive holidays, providing 40% more holidays than its nearest competitor, and in a volatile and highly competitive market, it cannot afford to be complacent.
Whilst the conversion rate from core beach holidays in the 'Summer Sun' brochures can be high, the more niche brands, such as the upmarket four and five star holidays of 'Thomson à la Carte', or the more personal, family-run establishments in 'Thomson Small and Friendly', may demand considerably more brochures to generate one booking.
