One of our most successful strategies has been to remain focused on the needs of our customers and to develop technologies and customer support structures that satisfy these needs in a manner consistent with our pure online model. We are determined to remain a leading provider of internet travel services and to do that we have to continue to be innovative and adaptable to changing market circumstances whilst ensuring we stay focused on our business plan.
