|
Luxury operator Harlequin Worldwide Travel has become the fourth acquisition by Western & Oriental Travel this year. This expands Western & Oriental's coverage of the Caribbean and enhances its reach in the Indian Ocean as well as complementing the current Mediterranean Experience programme to provide the most comprehensive offering to Europe. Harlequin’s programme to the Indian Ocean offers some of the most idyllic hideaways in the world together with a range of superb multi-centre options. For the Caribbean they offer an extensive mix of luxury hotels, from the small, privately owned to internationally renowned resorts. Within Europe they offer a range of hotels and resorts from Crete to Madeira. Western & Oriental chairman David Howell said: "The acquisition of Harlequin brings an enhanced product breadth to the group, in particular adding specialist Caribbean holidays to the portfolio.” Western & Oriental Travel managing director Ian Neale said the group would continue to seek further acquisitions following its float on AIM in March which raised more than £5 million. |
