Youtravel.com gets a little help from the Middle East
Youtravel.com has secured funding from a new company set up by its founder and a member of the Saudi royal family.
The accommodation-only provider says there will be no disruption to the day-to-day running of the company and it will maintain the same structure and management team.
Founder and chief executive John Kent has joined forces with His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Saeed Al Nahayan and acquired a Barclays Bank shareholding in the company.
