Describes the different types of inter-relationship between T.T organizations, and Analyse the inter-relationships between organizations T.T Organizations

Most of the travel and tourism organizations are joining together because of the crisis, but to follow the partnership close they all share one philosophy to increase the customers, to increase the income, to become popular. Now on there are some many big travel and tourism organizations are joining with small travel and tourism organizations.

Air France is signing a new contract with KLM; the purpose of the partnership is to increase the income of both organizations, in year to come Air France-KLM will add 56 more destinations, they have signed a deal of £8 million with City Jet, City Jet will increase its flights by 2%, and will open a new destination in Spain.

In these days the travel and tourism organizations are working together in partnership with other company from overseas to expend their destinations and double their income.

British Airways and Iberia, they both have signed a contract of partnership in 2008 to create the world third largest Airline in the world and second largest in Europe. About 419 Aircraft in operation carrying more than 62 million passengers in 200 destinations.  This partnership is expected to save more than £330 million each year. This partnership will increase the number of employment in the UK and Spain, and this partnership will give BA and Iberia power to compete with Air France-KLM and Lufthansa. This partnership wills double the number of employees in the Organizations. 

Thomas Cook and Co-operative Group have signed a contract to emerge their store networks to create the largest store network in the UK; this partnership will bring together 1,204 stores, the partnership is 70% own by Thomas Cook and 30% own by Co-operative Group, experts expect the saving of £35 million.

To analyse the inter-relationship between travel and tourism organization, what we see is organization are emerging, the philosophy about their emerging is to increase the income and to create a big organization, for example Ba and Iberia emerged in 2008 they partnership is expected to save up to £330 million each year, and this saving will create employment, and also they will be able to compete will Air France-KLM and Lufthansa.

The effect of 2008 on businesses, and because of the crisis organization are emerging to create employment, increases their income, but the philosophy is to create one big organization to compete with rival organizations, for example Thomas Cook and Co-operative Group the purpose of their emerge is to create one largest store network in the UK with 1,204 stores in the UK, and with an impressive saving of £35 million, this money will create employment, and increase benefits.

In 2008 British companies have confirmed that 156, 266 people have lost their jobs according the Telegraph, so now on the companies emerge to create one big company to fight against the crisis of 2008.

In these days climate change is the biggest threat to the travel and tourism sector, and the travel and tourism companies will cut their carbon emission (CO2) by 50% by 2035 and 25% by 2020, this will cost them billions to reduce and the method they are using now is ‘emerging company’ so they can fight the climate change together, and it will cost them less money. Also the weather plays a negative role in the travel and tourism industry, such as the Volcano Ash most of the organization were emerged had option b to offer to their customers (clients) and cause of that 25 travel companies were affected, 30 companies which were emerged to rail companies had option b to offer to their customers. In total just in the UK 600,000 people were affected and some travel and tourism opened their eyes to emerge with other companies in case of a problem.
