Thomas Cook

The Thomas Cook name carries a long history, but the UK business today is an online travel agency rather than the high-street tour operator that collapsed in 2019. After that collapse, the brand was bought by Fosun and relaunched online in 2020, and in 2024 it was sold to Polish travel group eSky. The current UK business sells ATOL-protected package holidays combining flights and hotels, with a model built around letting customers package their own holiday. It no longer runs its own airline or high-street shops. Separately, Thomas Cook India is an independent listed company with its own holiday business, unrelated to the UK brand's ownership. Buyers should check which Thomas Cook entity they are booking with, confirm ATOL details and compare package prices against alternatives.
