Bowler launches new online travel venture

Budget Travel founder and Irish Life & Permanent Chairman Gillian Bowler has launched a new online travel company which begins trading today.

Named ClickandGo.com, the company is offering a range of holidays across Spain, Portugal, France, the Canaries and Madeira.

It offers packages based around scheduled flights rather than charters, aiming to give holidaymakers flexibility about the length and terms of their package holiday.

ClickandGo.com offers daily flights from Dublin, Cork, Shannon, Knock and Kerry to over 50 sun destinations in Europe on scheduled flights.

Bowler said that the company expected to cater for approximately 10,000 holidaymakers this year with that figure rising sharply over the coming three years. The company will market inbound holiday packages in Ireland to international visitors for spring next year.
