Story: Corfu rubbish problem ‘resolved’ In my opinion, the problem is far from ‘resolved’. I arrived at the Labranda Sandy Beach Resort in Corfu on July 4 and the smell here in the evenings from the waste – supposedly removed – is disgusting. I have requested Jet2holidays move me and my family to another resort where we won’t feel like we’re living at a waste centre.
BILLY WATT If Only merits less press
Story: Hutchings follows ex-dnata colleagues to If Only I can’t see why If Only gets so much coverage. With an Atol for fewer than 9,000 seats, they are nowhere near being a major player.

EasyJet wants in on act
Story: EasyJet acquires Atol Is anyone surprised? EasyJet has obviously seen the rise of Jet2 and wants to get in on the action. It will be just like 2006 when there was a big four...

Brian Young @brianryoung (G Adventures) Looking forward to the #TWAAAs. Looks like I’m sat on a table of industry reprobates, oops, stalwarts – that’s the word
Rob Kenton @rob_kenton (Triangle Travel) Bad day started with taking an Imodium by mistake instead of a hay fever tablet. However, the day improved with a great win for #ENG!
Erin Johnson @erinlaurawalsh (Silversea) It’s that word again... authentic. Luxury and authenticity go hand in hand with what clients are looking for #AspireLeadersOfLuxury
“I can’t imagine regular clients would be thrilled to see Love Island’s ‘Muggy Megan’ gyrating in the hot
tub of their favourite overwater bungalow.”

P&O is losing what made it unique
Story: Oriana to leave P&O Cruises fleet in August 2019 We got hooked on cruises 12 years ago and have taken holidays on P&O ships several times a year since. But, like a lot of people, we see a creeping Americanisation of what was once a unique British cruise line. The ships are getting bigger, and that means choice of ports is much more
limited. And the number of P&O’s adult-only ships has decreased as well. Despite their huge popularity, they’re down to two, with no plans to add another. Everything is changing at P&O. Rather than being unique, they’re chasing the same market as everyone else. I liken it to what happened at M&S. Remember when they changed from being specialists to competing with all the other high street stores. They lost all uniqueness (and profit) in the process. Of course, Oriana (pictured) had to go at some point, but it seems P&O is moving away from its roots and going head to head with all the other bland tower blocks on the sea. I wish P&O all the best with this new direction, but I think it’s doomed to fail. JAMESRECKONS Travel Weekly invites a response from P&O Cruises
