TV Travel Shop Ltd
 PROFILE
Making the holiday brochure a thing of the past is the aim of TV Travel Shop, which has two TV channels broadcasting in the UK. Customers get to see holiday destinations, hotel rooms, and the view from the balcony before deciding to book. The programs are distributed by satellite, cable, and digital TV and are broadcast seven days a week. Customers book vacations by phone, but booking directly through the TV set is coming soon. Live broadcasting began in 1998. The company was the brainchild of holiday business entrepreneur Harry Goodman. He and partner Denis Strauss share a 12.5% stake; other investors include Barclays Private Equity (38%), Flextech (37%) and Kuoni (12.5%).
