1 Scenario: I LuvToTravel plc is a well-established tour operator with a large number of brands. These brands include traditional travel agencies, hotel companies and various online travel related businesses — with the most well-known one being GreatRooms.com. lLuvToTravel plc has grown in size over the last 15 to 20 years by a programme of international takeovers and mergers. Whilst the company originated in the UK it now operates all over Europe, Scandinavia, North Africa, the Pacific Rim and the Asian sub-continent. The company is currently half—way through what it calls a ‘synergy programme’, through which it hopes to achieve significant long—term cost savings. According to the company's annual report and accounts: • We have some of the most recognised and trusted brands in the industry. • Each of our businesses is led by highly experienced management teams. • Consolidation in some of our key markets has removed excess supply from the market. • We are able to gain a competitive advantage when negotiating with suppliers due to our size. • We have delivered £80m of savings so far via our ‘synergy programme’. • We have increased our presence in the ‘specialist’ and adventure tour business. • We are gradually expanding into the fast-growing Russian, Ukrainian and Chinese markets.
