Recent TV adverts from Thomson and First Choice have led to the busiest ever web booking days for both brands. Thomson’s ‘quality time’ ad features the track, Where is My Mind? by Sunday Girl and has been released as a single by popular demand. The Thomson website saw a 14% increase in hits and was the most visited travel agency site in the UK. The First Choice ‘all inclusive’ ad features the Number 1 single Good Feeling by Flo Rida. Following the launch, there was a 43% increase in hits with over 1m visits between 2 - 8 January.

Take a look behind the scenes of the Thomson and First Choice adverts.

Thomson Airways became the first UK airline to operate commercial flights on sustainable biofuel when TOM 7446 took off from Birmingham Airport to Arrecife in Lanzarote on 6 July 2011. Carrying 232 passengers on a Boeing 757-200, the landmark flight, which was given full backing by Aviation Minister Theresa Villiers, confirmed Thomson Airways’ position at the forefront of sustainable aviation.

The flight generated a considerable amount of press coverage and has paved the way for daily flights to commence from early 2012.

This innovative leadership programme is being run in a Thai community & the aim is for our leaders to gain insight into their leadership styles & build contacts whilst making a contribution to a local community. Activities have included the building of a new playground & the creation of a large, irrigated vegetable garden. We have also helped the community with ideas on how they can improve their businesses. The residents have some simple ideas generated by us that they can implement to enhance the sustainability of their commercial activities in the production of banana snacks, a ‘homestay’ business and a Thai cookery school.
