Am I the only one to find an irony in last week’s two Kuoni stories? One reports Kuoni research that showed consumers “find booking on the web too stressful”, while the other says “Kuoni is poised to add an online brand”.

Gender pay gap risks positive discrimination
Story: Tui reveals gender pay gap I agree that the gender pay gap needs closing but I fear the risk of positive discrimination creeping in.

Story: Ministers to place Linked Travel Arrangements outside Atol Young, savvy travellers don’t care about Atol because it’s a nonsense forced upon (mainly older) travellers by agents who attempt to scare customers into booking with them.

Kuoni’s online brand plan seems ironic
Could Travel Weekly cut its plastic wrapping?
As an avid reader of Travel Weekly, I am disappointed to see that it is still delivered in plastic wrapping. Can Travel Weekly look at other ways to wrap this amazing magazine? STUART HILL EDITOR REPLIES: We have had several talks with printers to see if we could reduce our use of polythene. Unfortunately, there are few machines in the UK that can wrap a magazine in paper. However, we have cut the weight of our polythene wrapping from 50 microns to 30 microns, which is more degradable, and aim to reduce this further.

“Provided we see, in the very short term, that firms are taking steps to implement the Atol changes, we
would not look to take enforcement action.”

This is a real blow. The beauty of Aurora (pictured) is its ability to match intimacy with its vast array of communal activities. Aurora is a bit like ‘baby bear’s porridge’ – it’s just right. I cannot help but feel Aurora is being ‘bagsied’ by adults who will continue to enjoy the true jewel of the P&O fleet, while families are shunted on to bigger ships with less character. G MULCROW
Thank goodness for P&O’s adult-only ships! We wouldn’t cruise on anything else. JANE BRYANT Travel Weekly would welcome a response from P&O

P&O’s Aurora plan is a blow for choice
Story: P&O Cruises’ ship Aurora to become adult-only (page 26) What a terrible shame! How can it be about “choice” when P&O has just removed the choice for families to go on one of its smaller, more traditional ships? I know a lot of families that will be very disappointed. JACQUELINE PORTER
