KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The collapse of the 178-year-old tour company Thomas Cook is not expected to have much of an impact on tourists from Malaysia, as less than 5% of local travel agents used its services.

Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents deputy president Mohd Akil Yusof said that of the approximately 3,600 travel agents registered with the association, only a small number still used the British company's services as the rest had migrated to platforms that offered better deals.

The company which manages hotels, holiday resorts and an airline catering to some 19 million customers in 16 countries went bust today, causing thousands of tourists to be stranded throughout the world and the British government having to undertake its biggest peacetime repatriation of its citizens in its history.
