With its blessing and after the shareholders agreement, yet to come, My Travel, Europe allows the birth of a group tour operator that will manage 33,000 employees and 19 million pax holidays and earn any revenue from 12 billion euros..

But what about, what to say In fact, it is questionable whether the expert’s Competition Commission have done their job. If they really understood all the consequences of their decision.
