Thomas Cook & SOTC’s omnichannel clicks & bricks model empowered its customers with the safety of contactless processes & the choice/convenience of selecting their preferred channel- its apps, portals, call centres, retail or a combination – book online and walk into a store to consult with a holiday expert.

The Companies built & leveraged strong partnerships & alliances with Tourism Boards (Maldives, Abu Dhabi, Yas Island, Turkiye, Saudi, Singapore, Malaysia, etc.); attractions like Resorts World Sentosa and Mandai; cruises (like NCL, Costa Cruises) to enhance visibility and visitations to outbound destinations.
