The group, which announced its interim results for the six months to April 30 today, said the centre would open in Cheltenham before the end of the current financial year.
It is also launching new marketing and distribution strategies to complete the “restructuring and integration” of its UK and North American operations.
The group reported revenue up 9% to £18.9 million in the six months, with profit before tax up 142% to £1.4 million.
It said trading in the UK operations continue to improve.
“As of 30 April 2010, merchant operations bookings for summer 2010 departures were up 14% year on year with Best of Morocco, Tapestry Collection, and Faraway Holidays providing the majority of growth,†said the interim report.
