The conference aims to show all sectors of the travel industry how to increase revenue and maximise profits. Michael will be providing information on identifying the perfect the balance between flexibility whilst trying not to overwhelm your customer with too many offerings that will distract from the core product.

Leger Holidays places great importance on e-commerce and is consistently at the forefront of web technology. In 2007 Leger was one of the first travel companies to gain AAA standard for web content accessibility, it introduced Skype onto the website and was also the first coach tour operator to incorporate Google Earth into its website.

Michael Rhodes at Leger Holidays said: “We want to use new technology as a tool to improve our service offering and to attract new customers wherever possible. Speaking at conferences allows us to demonstrate the strides that we have made in developing our online offering, whilst sharing ideas and learning from other companies adopting similar strategies.

“Most recently we have incorporated video podcasts into some of our online brochures and sites, giving customers a greater insight into what to expect from their Leger Holiday before they book.”
