Interested to know what you base that assumption in TSR2. Look at Jet2 Holidays, EasyJet & Ryanair Hotels, etc. All are offering flights, hotels, transfer, excursions, car hire, etc as a 'package', albeit as individual components. Whilst the traditional method of booking a package holiday may have changed (travel agents) the actual holiday content itself pretty much stays the same. Us Brits still like our 2 weeks in the sun. You need only look at the number of flights into PMI, IBZ and MAH to realise that. And although most have tried the lo-cost flight only method, a lot of people don't like the idea of booking everything separately. TCX need to look at how to brand and market the new package holiday before they miss the boat again.
