First Choice has admitted it will make a concerted effort to drive more sales through its in-house channels this summer.
Chief executive Peter Long said he wants the group’s own shops, call centres and online to account for 75% of sales. It currently stands at 60%.
“It’s a key focus,” he said.
But Long stressed it was unlikely to go beyond the three-quarter mark as it did not want to starve its third party agents of product.
“We have key relationships with other retailers and they perform well for us,” he said.
