My one-time alma-mater, First Choice Holidays PLC - the parent of Signature Vacations - is merging with the massive German based TUI to form an even more massive travel cencern. This seems like a win for all. First Choice needed a tie up, their management team is solid, and consolidation in the leisure travel world isn't likely to slow down anytime soon.
Now, if they can only get that internet thing to go away, everybody can be happy :)
