this tenn mainly concerns Airlines (even there are other means of transport within
a holiday package)
Complaints (Holiday Complaints): Name for shortcomings in the holiday
conditions or the absence of promised constituents of the holiday compared with

accordance to various national standards
Hotel Tour Operator Category: Refers to the classification of hotels, in
accordance to various tour operator standards (e.g. TUI Germany's 'Suns',
Thomson's 'Ts'). Such classifications often defer from the national classifications
(i.e. 'stars')
I
Incoming Services Agency (Incoming Agency): An incoming services agency is
based at the holiday destination/resort. It organises and/or co-ordinates touristic
services on behalf of the tour operators, and looks after their customers (in many

Merger Readiness: the ability to complete the restructuring following a merger
in the shortest time possible, while at the same time creating the basis for the
realisation of synergies (see Meier & Spang 2000)
Merger: a transfer of ownership in which one entity legally disappears into the
other, or both entities disappear into a third entity created for the purpose of the
merger (La Joux 1998). Gaughan (1991) prefers the term 'consolidation', when
referring to merging firms of equal size to create a new entity. However, many
authors frequently use the term 'merger of equals'

tour operators, flights, and hotels. The trend towards vertical integration in the
tourism sector began in the nineties
Appendix B 231
Appendix B
Core tourism processes: An overview
Core tourism processes are defined in this context as the: typical or generic, seasonal,
tour-operator activities required to develop, produce, distribute and sell packaged
holidays. As such the processes described in the next couple of pages, are
representative of the European tourism companies mentioned in the main text. A
comparison between them and the process overview of the case-study confirms this
assertion (see Appendix C: SR BOOI & SR B002)
The aim of this appendix is to provide a basic understanding of the key steps required
to produce a holiday package. In turn, this ought to provide the reader, lacking
familiarity with the area of tourism, the background necessary to better understand the
contents of this piece of work and evaluate its positions and arguments. In line with
this aim, the following overview does not need to cater for:
The full spectrum of outgoing-, airiine-, incoming-, and hotel-specific processes.
The focal point in this dissertation is the overall holiday-package and not its
individual components per se
Support / secondary activities related to: accounting, finance, controlling,
personnel/HR, etc. The assumption here is that the reader is well-accustomed
with what such activities entail
232
I. Product
development and planning
AppendixB
steering
The core tourism processes are illustrated and described in more detail below:
Process: Short Description / Representative Activities (Examples):
Purpose I. Product Planning of services - Infonnation analysis (source market demand,
development and along all the 4 Ps (Price, competition, trends, etc.)
planning Product, Place, - Development of marketing strategy and
Promotion) brand-portfolio
- Product development (e.g. destinations,
themes, etc.)
- High-level planning of required bed and flight
allotments (capacity allocations)
- Detailed planning (e.g. internal allocation of
capacities, determination of season start/end)
Appendix B 233
11. Purchasing Purchasing of capacities - Past - performance analysis of
/ contracting according to the planning accommodation units
I) - Preparation of negotiations (e.g. arranging
dates / meetings with hoteliers, setting
negotiation targets)
- Pre-negotiations with hoteliers
- Feedback on per-negotiations (adjustments
maybe necessary)
- Monitoring of buyer performance
- Contract completion and delivery
Ill. Packaging Pricing and availability - Setup and pricing of individual holiday
& pricing for reservations components
- Product building and pricing
- Pre-season allotment allocation
- Release for reservations
IV. Catalogue / Conception, creation - Brochure conception and pre-planning (e.g.
brochure and printing of holiday analysis of customer preferences, layout
production brochures limitations, purchasing of paper)
- Page / size planning
- Page layout construction
- Image importing
- Corrections and alterations & delivery for
printing
- Brochure production (printing)
V. Distribution Making brochures (or - Dispatch to travel agencies, directly to
their contents) available customers and internal sales support
to the various sales departments (e.g. call-centres)
channels (mainly travel - Sales support staff briefings
agencies - outgoing) - Informing sales channels on destination- or
and preparation of sales object- specific events
support - Brochure re-ordering
- Press-briefings / releases
VI. Fulfilment Monitoring and - Preparation and dispatch of arrival lists
management of - Arrival handling
activities during the - Organising and performing welcoming /
period a holiday takes information meetings
place - Excursion sales
- Crisis management
VII. Ongoing Continuous alignment • Sales monitoring
capacity control between demand • Capacity adaptations / exchanges
234 Appendix B
and steering conditions and • Flight schedule and route alterations
purchased / owned • Price adaptations / yield management
capacities
11. After-sales aling with quality and • Customer enquiry handling
customer support customer issues during • Dealing with complaints and deciding on
the fulfilment period and compensation
feeding this information • Qualitative / quantitative information back into product collection and analysis to feed into planning (I) development
Finally, it is important to note that:
Even though the processes are illustrated and listed sequentially, this does not
mean that they do not overlap in terms of timeframe. Fulfilment and after-sales
customer support is an example of processes taking place in parallel
The seasonal repetition (especially for processes I. to V.) is theoretically company
specific, but in practice it only tends to differ between source markets. In
Germany, for example, it is common practice to have two seasons (i.e. summer
and winter brochure editions), while in the UK four seasons in the norm (i.e.
summer, fall, winter, spring brochure editions)
Caution should be exercised on utilising the above overview when examining purely
online tourism companies (e.g. Expedia, Last-minute.com, etc.). In most cases, this
kind of business model seems to carry more similarities to the processes of a
traditional travel agency than those of an old economy tour operator.

The sampling method:
Population - The defined population involves all the core team members of the Apollo Definition: Integration Programme (Post Merger ICS Integration Programme)
- More specifically, individual project leadership (both business and IT), More specifically, individual project leadership (both business and operator representatives)
- Specialists such as: developers and programmers are not part of the defined population, since their field of interest and expertise is mainly on technological issues and are not directly involved with the issues at hand. This assertion was confirmed during the test trials of the questionnaire
Sampling - (see also next page) The Sampling frame was constructed using the Apollo Frame: contact list (Appendix C: SR DOO I) Sampling - Judgmental selection of population elements Procedure: Data Collection - Questionnaires (electronically sent or combined with face to face informal Method: interviews where possibl~_ Justification & - The overall aim of the case study research is in-depth understanding and Purpose: exploration (not generalisation)
- A holistic analysis requires (and makes sense with) prioritising potential respondents according to their overall understanding of the merger situation and implications
- The objective of the survey is a cross- check of the secondary research - High fluctuation (HR turnover) plus the sensitive nature of the subject could
potentially produce significant non-response, rendering random sampling unrealistic (highly effort- intensive)
Risks / - The choice of a non-random sampling procedure prevents any kind of Limitations: statistical inference (i.e. no sampling error, no confidence intervals, etc.)
- There is no guarantee that the sample represents the entire population Measures - Awareness of litnitations and population knowledge due to long-term Adopted (to observation, facilitates judgment with regard to sample element selection Meet Risks): - Setting (and achieving) a target of interviewing a tnin 50% of the elements
of the key population groupings (in order to improve representation). Population is categorised according to company (TUI UK, TUI D, TUI Infotec, External) and according to specialisation (business / IT). Those groupings overlap

Alexis Papathanassis
30 Minute Telephone Interview
28.02.2003
- After introduction and elaboration of dissertation / interview purpose:
What do you understand under the term Due Diligence Review?
(M&A respondent): A due diligence review involves collecting and I or ensuring that
the risks which a possible acquisitions and acquisition target bears are found and
evaluated. This is done by requesting data of the acquisition target, analysing these
information and evaluating the target. Afterwards a recommendation concerning the
continuation and purchase price of the target is given to the decision takers. If and
when an acquisition is given the go-ahead by TUI AG Board, we manage and co
ordinate the transaction and negotiation process on behalf of TUI AG.
Is your department involved in all acquisitions? And can one be sure that a
'correct' Due Diligence always take place?
(M&A respondent): Unfortunately not always. In very rare occasions, opportunistic
acquisitions come up at top level management and our board needs to decide very
short-term, so that only very few managers are involved in the process. In acquisitions
of direct competitors (large tour operators) however, we do not always gain access to
all the data necessary for a proper due diligence review. In those cases we have to
work with estimates and the incomplete information provided. Generally, we are a
Appendix D 263
'group services department' and according to TUI corporation rules, every department
planning a participation in another company has to use our services!
Where do information & communication systems fall into during your Due
Diligence proceedings?
(M&A respondent): When ICS are considered to be a vital element of the acquisition
in question, IT is requested to provide a list of data and information requests to be
provided by the target. Those data and information requests are illustrated in the
checklists I gave you earlier. The target company is to provide the material requested
(e.g. data room and visit) and then IT writes a report on that basis, containing any risks
they see. Then the report is sent to us and consolidated with the other reports from
functional areas. Following, a financial evaluation, the material is sent to the director
or directors responsible for the acquisition, who take the decision to proceed or not
with the approval of the TUI AG Board.
Who and how is it decided that ICS are a 'vital element' of the acquisition in
question?
(M&A respondent): This information is received from the acquiring party who usually
has had first contacts with he target and knows its business functions from literature
reviews or direct talks. Targets where ICS is vital could be tour operators specialised
in direct sales, internet tour operators, or software houses.
Does IT have a specific or standard way of analysing this material (in order to
produce their report)?
(M&A respondent): I am not aware of anything like this. But I believe it is highly
unlikely since the people involved and the reports themselves (i.e. structure) differ
each time. From our point of view, that is a specific area of expertise we do not have.
In that respect, we leave it to our internal experts.
Do the Due Diligence results, in any way, get incorporated into the integration
planning process?
264 Appendix D
(M&A respondent): Well, to begin with, an acquIsItion does not always mean
integration. We provide the material and the evaluation to the decision-makers. What
they do with it remains at their discretion. They mayor may not choose to feed this
knowledge into the integration teams. I am not aware of any formal requirement to do
so though. You must remember that a significant part of this material is highly
confidential and cannot be forwarded unfiltered through the organisation.
What can you tell me about the Thomson acquisition? Was the normal process
followed? To what extent where [CS considered?
(M&A respondent): I am afraid I cannot answer that, since I was not personally
involved and not at that time a member of the M& A team.
