This old travel agency has been operating for 178 years. After the two world wars, many British people remember Thomas Cook as a travel agent. This company has planes, hotels and employees all over the world ... However, all this has become a thing of the past with a bankruptcy announcement. The British government also launched a large-scale rescue and evacuation operation codenamed "Operation Matt Hong En" in response to this bankruptcy, and plans to take Thomas Cook's customers back to the UK from September 23rd to June 6th, 10. The whole evacuation plan lasted 14 days.
Boeing 747, Airbus A380 and other large passenger planes will be dispatched from various airlines to support the evacuation operation. 14 days,160,000 people will be recovered, and almost every day,10,000 people will be recovered. This is also the largest evacuation operation in peacetime in British history. The uncertainty of Britain's exit from the EU led to a direct drop in the demand for tourists' orders this summer, facing fierce market competition and low gross profit of the tourism industry itself.
Thomas Cook's bankruptcy should have the greatest impact on Britain, with hundreds of thousands of tourists stranded overseas. Britain has also made special plans for the evacuation of stranded tourists. It is foreseeable that this withdrawal plan will cost a lot.
