英國第二大旅行社接手Thomas Cook門店 據報涉額少於5,000萬英鎊
英國第二大旅行社、最大獨立旅行社海斯旅行社(Hays Travel)宣布,收購上月破產的老牌旅行社同業Thomas Cook旗下563間英國線下門店當中的555家,並未披露涉及金額。據英國《金融時報》引述接近交易消息人士指,該交易在未有舉債下完成,涉額料少於5,000萬英鎊(約6,113.5萬美元)。
海斯表示,計劃立即重開所有因為公司破產而關門的Thomas Cook店舖,並已僱用Thomas Cook近600名前員工,並指對其餘前員工續有空缺提供。海斯料總計可挽救逾2,500個職位。
Thomas Cook上月在未能與債權人及最大股東復星旅文(01992.HK)達成協議後,進入清盤程序,全球數以千計酒店未能收取餘款,2.1萬名員工面臨失業。
主理Thomas Cook清盤程序的畢馬威合夥人Jim Tucker指,是次交易屬極之正面的結果,為相當數量的Thomas Cook前員工保住職位,並穩住英國零售舖位租務市場。海斯以現租值接手Thomas Cook舖位,亦期望未來按個別舖位情況逐間重新洽商。
