Neilson owns nine BeachClubs
T
homas Cook has confirmed
it will sell off Neilson to Risk
Capital Partners for GBP9.5
million.
The transaction to the private
equity firm is due to be completed
in early December when RCP will
take over the active holiday firm.
Neilson’s existing management
team Pete and Pip Tyler will stay
in the business and be joined
by executive chairman Richard
Bowden-Doyle and finance
director David Taylor.
Neilson carries 90,000
customers a year on sailing, skiing
and beach holidays and generated
GBP70 million in revenues last
year. It operates nine summer
BeachClubs; owns and operates
119 cruising yachts and has a
growing Club Hotel concept.
The buy-out is RCP’s second
travel industry deal this year after
acquiring Cruise.co in August.
“We were attracted by the
strength of the Neilson brand,
demonstrated by the loyalty of its
repeat customers, particularly for
the summer BeachClub offer. The
active holiday sector is growing
and ski volumes are set to recover.

Management
goes into
administration
B
angkok's main tourist hotspots
have remained unaffected by
protests in the city against Prime
Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
Protests sprung up at 14 locations
across the city yesterday at army,
navy, police and ministry headquarters
as well as television channels.
However they stayed away from
tourist attractions and activities where
holidays have continued as usual.
Increased security has been
deployed at airports and checkpoints
as a precaution, with the whole city
now under the Internal Security Act.
Those travelling into the city from
its airports have been warned of
potential heavy road traffic and lack
of taxis.

We believe the business will
prosper with access to capital as
an independent tour operator,” said
RCP partner Luke Johnson.
Pete Tyler, managing director
of Neilson added: “We have spent
some time getting to know Risk
Capital Partners and are excited
they have decided to invest in this
business. Their financial strength,
business acumen and historic
results in the leisure sector will be
of huge value to us and we look
forward to their support in helping
to grow the business”.

MEET EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCES

Travel Daily talks to
Ian Stazicker
tourism director, Chic Outlet
Shopping by Value Retail
Travel Daily caught up with
the head of tourism at the
outlet shopping villages
to hear all about shopping
tourism and what is next for
the sector.
Could you provide us with
an overview of the year?
If we look at the nine
villages across Europe,
business has grown around
12-13% year on year.
Considering these results,
from the non-European
long-haul markets to the
end of September, we have
witnessed a 43% increase
from last year.
The statistics for some
of the key markets from
the Middle East are Kuwait
with 54% up, UAE - 42% and
Saudi comprising 30%. All
markets in this region are
growing strongly. We have
also seen strong growth from
Qatar. Interestingly this year,
we have seen that Egyptian
spends are quite high.
We have also seen an
increase of Middle East
tourists across our villages –
Bicester, La Vallee, Ingolstadt
and Las Rozas.
What key developments/
new initiatives could we
look forward to in 2014?
We would look at new
initiatives which include
new partnerships with new
airlines.
In similar light, Emirates
and Qatar have shown
interest.
We will also continue to
develop our relationship
with tour operators and a
big focus on credit card
companies. The credit card
companies want to offer to
package our outlet to their
top level customers as well as
banks.
How do you see positioning
the Chic Outlets as a
tourism product?
First and foremost, we
have always considered
ourselves as a tourism
destination rather than just
a shopping destination. We
focus on the experience
along with the food and
beverage. We have also
focused on the entire
experience. In a recent
development, we have
opened a tax refund outlet
at the Bicester village. Here,
customers can get their tax
refunds on-site, which make
it easier. The villages are not
stand-alone product hence
are packaged with other
tourism products. Our aim
is to focus on promoting
a complete shopping and
tourism package.
Do you see any new
emerging markets in terms
of visitor profiles?
The strongest growing
market is South East Asia.
This is a combination of
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand
and Indonesia, which is
booming. China has also seen
strong growth.
The next one, when it does
happen would be India. This
is due to the fact that the
younger generation is more
conscious about fashion and
brands. So it is just a matter
of time. As a source market
for tourism, India is already
very strong. In this regard, we
are working with Jet Airways,
Thomas Cook and Saltours.
four to five projects in the
region.
It would have a similar
structure to what we have in
Europe but all in one country.
China is going to take up a
lot of our focus in the next
four to five years. We are of
the opinion that there is big
opportunity in that region.
What are your
expectations in terms of
growth?
Kildare will be our next
focus. Our objective is to
have bigger villages with
better brands.
Which new focus areas
would be considered to
boost awareness of the
product?
We are looking seriously
at working with online travel
agencies. In this regard, we
As a business, we are
looking for double digit

aggressive in keeping up
our brand awareness and
activities. There will also be

smaller aircraft to access islands
and airports unable to handle larger
aircraft. The move forms part of the
Indonesian government's plan to
connect more remote area of the
country.
The Explore brand will be split
into two parts - Explore, using
ATR72-600 turboprop aircraft, and
Explore Jet, which will operate
a fleet of Bombardier CRJ1000
regional jets. Most of the operations
will be focus on islands in the east
and west of the country, including
such provinces as Aceh, the Riau
Islands, West Papua, Maluku and
East and West Nusa Tenggara.
