With HMRC expanding the MTD pilot from 16 April, Richard Hattersley unpacks the updates, including long-awaited multi-agent access and questions around the value of quarterly updates.

When high street travel firm Thomas Cook collapsed in 2019, it triggered the biggest ever peacetime repatriation, with 150,000 holidaymakers needing to be brought home. Alan French was the Group Strategy and Technology director at the time and had to preside over the disaster. Despite that, he was determined to revive the company and the next year relaunched Thomas Cook as a digital only brand. The travel executive talks to Evan Davis about how he managed to turn his fortunes around and resurrect the Thomas Cook name.Production team: Producer: Drew Hyndman Editor: Matt Willis Sound: John Scott Production co-ordinator: Katie Morrison

Legendary Leo Lebon, hailed as the grandfather of adventure travel.

That's exactly how Leo Le Bon's adventure began. Fast forward a few months, and he's driving a stranger's car across America just to get his $50 deposit back. (Gas was 25 cents a gallon back then—can you imagine?) One thing led to another. A chance meeting. A hiking trip. A casual chat with a fellow climber who just happened to have connections in Nepal. And before he knew it, Leo wasn't just exploring—he was pioneering an entire industry. There were no guidebooks. No established trails. No GPS. Just a wild dream and a whole lot of figuring-it-out-as-you-go. And that's how adventure travel as we know it was born. Principle: The biggest adventures don't start with a perfect plan—they start with a yes. Leo didn't wait until he had everything figured out. He said yes to a cross-country road trip. Yes to a new job. Yes to a trek in Nepal before most people even knew where Nepal was. The truth? Most people sit around waiting for the “right time” to go after something big—whether it's an adventure, a new business, or a major life shift. But adventure (and success) doesn't work that way. You don't need certainty. You need a willingness to start. Transition: Too many people get stuck waiting for the stars to align before they chase their dreams. They tell themselves:

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, January 16, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. A group of prominent investors, including Switzerland's Partners Group AG, Canada's Brookfield Asset Management, and KKR, are eyeing a stake in Indian internet services provider Excitel Broadband. They're part of a $200 million equity deal and have signed non-disclosure agreements as part of the process managed by Avendus Capital. Other potential investors like Macquarie Group, Apax Partners, and Actis Llp are also in the mix, reflecting strong interest in the company, which was founded in 2015 and now serves 1 million subscribers across 55 cities. Utpa Bhaskar reports on the potential acquisition of Excitel.  The Indian government is considering a revision of customs duties and procedures in specific sectors for the FY26 Union budget. This initiative aims to make it more appealing for manufacturers of finished goods to also produce components or semi-finished products, thereby enhancing trade ease and export competitiveness. Particularly, the electronics and consumer goods segments, including air conditioners and washing machines, might see duty revisions to encourage domestic production of components, according to Gireesh Chandra Prasad and Dhirendra Kumar's report. This strategy follows the successful model used in the mobile phone industry, where increased customs duty on finished products spurred local component manufacturing. Travel companies are buzzing with excitement as the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj is expected to draw a staggering 400 million visitors over the next six weeks. This year's festival is extra special, marking a 144-year cycle milestone, and it's triggered a massive demand spike for travel and accommodation. Responding swiftly, Air India has launched daily flights from Delhi to meet the soaring demand, with airfare prices shooting up significantly. Hotels are also seeing a tenfold booking increase, with costs rising across nearby cities like Varanasi, reports Varuni Khosla. Travel agencies, including giants like Thomas Cook, are capitalizing on the surge, rolling out extensive packages that range from basic stays to luxury spiritual retreats. The festival's economic impact is immense, with an expected generation of Rs 2 trillion in revenue, benefiting not just the travel sector but also local businesses across a spectrum of industries.In the chilly fog of the Khanauri border between Punjab and Haryana, a renewed farmer protest simmers along National Highway 52. Thousands of farmers have braved the elements since February of last year, their resolve unshaken by winter's bite, this time demanding legal backing for Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for their crops. These protests, although less vibrant than the massive gatherings at Delhi's borders in 2020, are deeply rooted in concerns over crop pricing. The government does set MSPs annually for 23 crops, but in reality, consistent purchases at these prices are mostly limited to wheat and rice. Farmers argue this system fails to protect them against market volatility, particularly for crops like groundnuts, soybeans, and moong, where they often receive less than the promised MSP. So, is there an end in sight to these protests? Sayantan Bera tackles that question as he takes a deep dive into the ongoing farmers' protests in today's Long Story. The upcoming Union budget is set to show Indian Railways' operating ratio at its best in five years for FY26, thanks to higher freight revenue and increased government funding. This key efficiency metric, which indicates how much the Railways spend to earn ₹100, is expected to dip below 98% for the first time since FY21, signalling stronger financial health and more room for capital expenditure. This improvement follows a few tough years where the operating ratio often exceeded 98%, highlighting financial strains mainly due to heavy pension liabilities, writes Subhash Narayan. However, from FY23 onwards, a rebound in freight and passenger revenues has bolstered the Railways' finances, suggesting a sustainable recovery is in the cards.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Tuesday, November 12, 2024. This is Nelson John, let's get started. Starting tomorrow, Zomato will fight its rival not just to deliver your food and groceries, but for your investments too. Swiggy will list on the stock exchanges after its initial public offering was oversubscribed by 3.59 times. At the heart of all the investor buzz is Swiggy's rather reclusive founder Sriharsha Majety. What is he like, and how different is he from Zomato's extremely public founder Deepinder Goyal? Ranjani Raghavan profiles Majety – the man of ideas – and how he quietly won over sceptics in the battle for food delivery and quick commerce.  Any foreign traveller will think about how they're going to pay for things once they have reached their destination. Cash, debit card, credit card, and forex card are your major options. Out of these, prepaid forex cards are theoretically the most economical option as they lower conversion markups. Shipra Singh writes that forex cards also allow for loading multiple currencies at the bank's prevailing exchange rates. However, loading fees and issuing charges can severely eat into this advantage. Shipra's research shows that providers like BookMyForex and Thomas Cook offer better value compared to major banks due to mid-market rates and minimal fees. ESOPs, or employee stock options, used to be restricted to startups. Mid and junior level employees got them as incentive to leave established companies and join fledgling startups. But now, even the former have joined in on the trend: Devina Sengupta and Sneha Shah write that companies are focusing on middle and junior management employees to retain top talent by offering employee stock ownership plans. They are being offered broadly across industries like IT and e-commerce. These benefits are traditionally reserved for senior management. This shift reflects a growing need to compete for niche talent even at junior-level positions. Soon, these companies might also offer other startup perks like flexible work arrangements to either attract or retain talent. Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin have fallen out of favour in India. Cryptocurrencies have seen a 90% decline in retail trading volumes in the past three years. Shouvik Das writes that Bitcoin's surge to a new all-time high of over $82,000 due to Donald Trump's recent election victory might tempt crypto investors back. Platforms like CoinSwitch and CoinDCX are reporting a 700% increase in active users. Challenges like heavy taxation and the Reserve Bank of India's negative stance on cryptocurrencies still persist, denting exponential growth. Issues like the WazirX hacking incident have also worried investors. Small-town residents in India are increasingly adopting the dining habits of their urban counterparts. They are developing a preference for eating out and trying international cuisines. Priyamvada C writes that the absence of extensive community spaces has made dining out an important social activity in smaller cities. With the Indian food services market expected to nearly double to ₹9 trillion by the end of the decade, investors see significant opportunities.

Recently, Amit Baraskar (Thomas Cook India) joined Tom Alford (TMI) in Copenhagen to discuss how India is positioning itself as an innovative powerhouse in today's digital landscape. In this podcast, Amit provides insight into India's tech-driven society, examining the key factors propelling its rapid digital transformation. In addition, he explores the thriving fintech ecosystem, which has garnered strong support and investment, and discusses how treasury professionals are increasingly involved in this space.

Entendido el turismo como una actividad empresarial, parece que comenzó a mediados de los 1.800 por Thomas Cook, quien poco después, con visión de futuro y de negocio, fundó una agencia de viajes. No obstante, dicen que el primer turista fue HERODOTO, filósofo griego, 5 siglos antes de Cristo, que no paró de viajar por los alrededores de su lugar.Escuchar audio

1851 it is, and the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, also known as the Great Exhibition or the Crystal Palace Exhibition took place in Hyde Park, London, from 1 May to 15 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs, exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century. Famous people of the time attended the Great Exhibition, including Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Michael Faraday, Samuel Colt, writers like Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll, George Eliot, Alfred Tennyson, and William Makepeace Thackeray. Schweppes was the official sponsor. The Great Exhibition was a celebration of modern industrial technology and design - mainly for the British who were trying to show how through tech, the world would be a better place - leading the nations in innovations so to speak. Six million people, equivalent to a third of the entire population of Britain at the time, visited the Great Exhibition, averaging over 42 000 visitors a day, sometimes topping 100 000. Thomas Cook managed the travel arrangements for the Exhibition, and made the equivalent of 33.2 million pounds in today's cash - or 186 000 pounds back in 1851, and promptly used the money to found the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Science Museum, as well as the Natural History Museum. Inventor Frederick Bakewell demonstrated a precurser to something that we know as a Fax Machine. The New Zealand exhibit was well liked, featuring Maori crafts such as flax baskets, carved wooden objects, eel traps, mats, fish hooks and the scourge of the British army in Kiwiland, their hand clubs. A couple of conservative politicians let it be known they were not happy about the Exhibition, saying visitors would turn into a revolutionary mob. Considering that Karl Marx was part of the visitors - perhaps not unsurprisingly. But did Karl Marx use the services of Thomas Cook? Not exactly a question destined for a dissertation. This Exhibition went on to become a symbol of the Victorian Era. Meanwhile … a serious War in one of its colonies, the Cape was more than disquietening - it appeared this war was more a Victorian error. AS in mistake. amaNgqika chief Maqoma was causing Harry Smith sleepness nights, and Colonel Fordyce and his colleagues were fighting for their lives along the Amathola mountains. The Waterkloof ridges — in a place to the west of Fort Beaufort — was where the Khoekhoe and coloured marksmen made their greatest impact. The ex-Cape Mounted Rifles members amongst the rebels had other uses. They understood the British bugle calls, having been trained by the British, further exasperating men like Henry Somerset and Colonel Fordyce. The amaXhosa and Khoekhoe rebels were also much more organised than in previous wars against the invaders. They targeted the Messengers reading updates from British commanders intended for Grahamstown and been reading the reports, and some of the rebels were actually being supplied directly from Grahamstown itself. Then Henry seemed to receive an injection of spine - of determination. On November 6th 1851 he massed two large columns, one under Colonel Fordyce, and the other led by Colonel Michel. Unbeknownest to him, this was to be Fordyce's last mission. Michel's column had to advance up the Waterkloof aka Mount Misery, while Fordyce's column would wait above, on the summit. Michel would drive the rebels up the mountain, Fordyce would trap them and voila! Victory. It didn't quite work that way.

Episode Notes The Department of Transportation officially launched a probe on Thursday into whether the loyalty programs of the four largest U.S. airlines are engaging in deceptive or noncompetitive practices, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi.  Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sent a letter to American, Delta, United and Southwest requesting that they provide records about their loyalty programs. The department said its probe would focus on how frequent flyer programs are impacted by extra fees and hidden pricing as well as reduced competition and choice.  The Transportation Department first announced last November it would investigate the fairness of loyalty programs.  Next, Poland-based online travel agency group eSky is buying tour operator Thomas Cook for roughly $40 million. Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill provides takeaways from the deal. O'Neill notes eSky's acquisition is part of its strategy to expand its package holiday business in Western Europe. ESky expects the deal to increase package sales by over $255 million next year. However, O'Neill adds eSky faces challenges in reviving a tarnished brand as Thomas Cook went bankrupt in 2019.  Finally, Hyatt wants to own fewer properties, and executives say they have reached a goal of $2 billion in gross proceeds from selling real estate, writes Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill.  CEO Mark Hoplamazian said at a conference on Thursday that Hyatt will continue to selectively buy, renovate and sell properties to increase its brand portfolio. Since 2017, Hyatt has generated $5.6 billion in gross proceeds from asset sales. The company is also looking to make deals like its recent acquisition of hotel booking site Mr & Mrs Smith, which quickly added 700 hotels to Hyatt's loyalty program and caters to Hyatt's high-end clientele. 

Mayor Joe Hogsett released a statement about his former aide's sexual harassment scandal. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Achieving More: Kelly Cookes on Success in Work and Life What does it take to achieve a harmonious blend of a high-flying career and a fulfilling personal life? For Kelly Cookes, it's about embracing the challenges with humility, having a great support network, and taking pride in each triumph, big or small. In a world of constant high stakes and personal commitments, finding equilibrium is an art in itself. Every experience, be it a professional milestone or a personal journey, contributes to this delicate balance. In this episode of The Mindset Mentor Meets, Angela Cox interviews Kelly Cookes, CCO of The Travel Advantage Partner Group. Kelly offers invaluable insights into her journey, discussing her proudest moments both at home and in the corporate world. She addresses the challenges and triumphs of reaching the C-suite in a predominantly female-led industry, while also opening up about her role as a mother, wife, and leader. Kelly's approach to success wasn't straightforward; it was filled with many sideways movements and roles she never expected to take on. But her family, team, and network were always there to keep her going — because she invests in her support network just as much as they help her. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur, a seasoned executive, or someone trying to juggle professional ambitions with personal commitments, listening to Kelly's experiences can empower you to navigate your path with confidence and grace. Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover the art of juggling a top-tier career and a rich personal life Determine how to embrace resilience in the face of adversity Learn why a support network is critical to success Resources  Contact Kelly on LinkedIn or follow her on Instagram and X. Visit The Advantage Travel Partnerships Coaching with Angela Cox Listen to The Mindset Mentor Meets Read The Mother of All Jobs by Christine Armstrong Episode Highlights  [02:34] Kelly's First Proudest Moment: Her Family Kelly shares her life as a happily married mother of two, emphasizing the journey more than a singular event. Despite occasional imbalances, she prides herself on maintaining a dynamic balance between her professional and personal life. Kelly points out some critical things that help her to improve her work-life balance: having good boundaries and a strong support network. She highlights the reality of being unable to do it all - like missing some school pickups - but compensates with quality time when possible. [10:46] Kelly's Second Proudest Moment: Reaching the C-Suite In a female-dominated industry with scarce senior female representation, Kelly's rise to the C-suite stands as a significant milestone. Senior roles in her industry looked far away and unachievable to Kelly when she began her career, but reaching the C Suite was always a goal. Moving up was never a straight path. Kelly took several sideways moves, such as embracing developmental roles and navigating unexpected challenges, like the collapse of Thomas Cook. Kelly sees her journey not as an end but as a stepping stone, with her sights set on a future CEO role. [17:32] Kelly's Third Proudest Moment: Becoming an Authentic Leader Kelly invests substantially in her team, acknowledging the support she received on her journey. She speaks about evolving into an authentic leader, comfortable in her own skin and leadership style. She used to feel that she needed to pretend to like something or know something to fit in. Today, she's just honest about who and what she is. Kelly embraces honesty and authenticity, recognizing that inauthenticity is both uncomfortable and counterproductive to performance. [22:51] Kelly and Impostor Syndrome Kelly opens up about experiencing impostor syndrome, particularly in high-stakes meetings or when discussing unfamiliar topics. Leaders tend to want to be the best person in the room. Not being the best creates a lot of self-doubt. Kelly likens leadership to being a 'swan' - poised externally but paddling furiously beneath the surface. [28:06] Kelly's Secret to Success: Having A Support Network Kelly attributes much of her success to the 'team' around her - family, friends, and professional colleagues. Take the team perspective: never be afraid to employ people who are better than you. Enjoy the ride — having a goal is great, but don't be too strict on how you get there. The path will never be what you think it will be. 5 Powerful Quotes [06:29] ‘I think it's just about being really strict with yourself and knowing that you can't do everything all the time.' [11:53] ‘I'll never stop wanting to develop and grow. There's always something new that you can learn and somebody that knows more than you about something.' [04:36] ‘I invest a lot of time in my team, I'm very conscious of how I operate and how I put myself across as an individual in that I want to build those relationships. And I've also had a lot of people that have supported me along the way.' [21:09] 'I've walked out of meetings thinking, I just didn't land that the way I wanted to. And nine times out of 10 It's been because I veered away from the way that I would have normally done it to try and deliver it in a way that I thought would get it across better.'  [28:48] ‘Never be afraid to employ people who are better than you, because that's where you'll learn and you shine through your people.' About Kelly Cookes Kelly Cookes is the CCO of The Advantage Travel Partnership. She dedicates her work to maintaining the balance between her work and family lives — and acknowledges that it's not a solo job. In all things, having a support network is invaluable. Kelly puts a lot of effort into her team, both at work and at home, and shines through them. Connect with Kelly through LinkedIn, or follow her on Instagram or X. Enjoy this Podcast?

Nicole Mahoney is an entrepreneur, speaker, and podcast host with a passion for business. She's the Founder of Break the Ice Media, a PR and digital marketing agency specializing in the travel, tourism, and hospitality industry, and also serves as the CEO of Travel Alliance Partners. In her weekly podcast, Destination on the Left, launched in 2016, she interviews tourism professionals from all over the globe on creativity and collaboration. On this episode of Destination on the Left, I explore topics related to creativity and collaboration in the travel, tourism, and hospitality industry. I share more about my 3C framework for collaboration, which is based on my extensive research that proves organizations that collaborate benefit from fresh, innovative ideas, improved brand reputation, operational efficiencies, and increased trust. What You Will Learn in this Episode: More about inspired collaborations, including the Ohio Birding Collaborative and the Poconos Mountains Community Caring Project, and how they successfully navigated their partnerships My personal experience of collaboration in the construction of a baseball stadium in my very first job in the travel and tourism sector Why collaboration in our industry allows for creative problem-solving and operational efficiency Why cathedral thinking has a huge impact on how we approach collaboration The three collaborator types and how each can work together How the 3C framework for world-changing collaborations works and the importance of evaluating long-term impacts Working Together as Collaborators We're digging into the world of collaboration and its impact on the travel, tourism, and hospitality industry. Drawing on my own experiences and research, I explore the three types of collaborators: promoters, doubters, and protectors. I discuss why successful collaborations require effective communication, commonality of goals, and a commitment to seeing the partnership through difficulties and obstacles. I genuinely believe that coopetition, as I like to call it, can create fresh perspectives and lead to powerful influences within the industry. By looking back at examples from the distant past, such as Thomas Cook's collaboration with a railway company in the 19th century, and more recent ones from my own career and those shared by guests on this podcast, I highlight how collaboration can have a lasting impact on the tourism industry. Long Term Planning I also want to stress the importance of committing to long-term projects and embracing the concept of “cathedral thinking,” where a project may not be completed within one's lifetime but still aims to change the paradigm of the industry. Collaboration is a catalyst for innovation and growth in the travel industry. By fostering effective communication, finding common goals, and committing to long-term projects, industry professionals can create collaborations that leave a lasting impact on the industry.

Stirred by the death of a faithful deacon of the church, Spurgeon brings that man's dying words to his brothers to the congregation by way of a sermon. He sets before them in potent language the potent fact that they have been bought at the price of Christ's life-pains, that the Son of God shed his precious blood to make them his own. From that flows a plain consequence- if Christ has bought you then you are not your own, but you belong to God in your body and soul. Spurgeon explores both the negative side of that and the positive. That leads to a natural conclusion, that those who belong to God ought to glorify God in their bodies as well as in their souls. He closes with some particular reminders and exhortations that it is perfectly proper for the world to keep a close eye upon those who claim to be Christ's purchased possession, and to expect them to live to the standard of men who follow Christ. To fail to do so is to dishonour the one who bought us. Without for one moment lurching into sentimentality, and holding fast to the plain sense of the words, Spurgeon nevertheless takes advantage of the occasion of the death of Thomas Cook to urge the saints to holiness-a fine example of 'occasional' preaching, as well as a clear call for consecrated living.
