Anex Tour to be world's 2nd-largest tour operator after acquiring Thomas Cook's Russian, German legs

By betül alakent.

With the finalization of the deals, the number of people traveling with Anex Tour will increase to 8 million, while its turnover is expected to rise to $10 billion, company Chairman Neşet Koçkar said

Turkish tour operator giant Anex Tour is about to become the world's second-largest tour operator after it acquired the Russian and German subsidiaries of the bankrupt British travel firm, Thomas Cook.

The world’s oldest travel firm collapsed in September after it failed to finalize a restructuring plan, stranding over a hundred thousand passengers, and the heavily indebted business has been sold off in parts.

Anex Tour Chairman Neşet Koçkar, the second-largest shareholder in the Thomas Cook Group after Chinese investment company Fosun International, announced on Friday the signing of an agreement to acquire Intourist, Russia’s oldest travel agency, from the British group. The size of the deal was not disclosed.

After Intourist, Koçkar on Saturday told the Turkish language daily, Sabah that they also signed a preliminary agreement to acquire Öger Tours, Bucher Reisen and Neckermann, the British group’s German leg.

With the acquisitions, Anex Tour will become the second-largest tour operator in the world after German TUI. With the deal, the number of people traveling with Anex will increase to 8 million, while the company’s turnover is expected to reach 10 billion euros ($11.05 billion).

Koçkar told Sabah that as a Turkish company, they are taking steps towards becoming a global player. “We are trying to give direction to world tourism on behalf of Turkish tourism,” he said. “The purchase of shares from Thomas Cook was a step in this direction. Before the bankruptcy, we wanted to take the branches in Russia and Germany. After the bankruptcy, we developed our strategy in line with this goal.”

He explained that they took over all the domestic and international operations of Intourist, the company's Russian leg, adding they plan to protect Intourist, which is a 90-year-old brand.

Intourist is Russia’s oldest tour operator, created by the Soviet authorities in 1929 to organize highly controlled visits to the USSR for foreign visitors. It was privatized in the early 1990s. Late last year Thomas Cook bought Intourist from billionaire Vladimir Yevtushenkov's Sistema holding firm.

TURNOVER TO REACH $10 BILLION

Friday's deal will see Koçkar acquire Thomas Cook's inbound, outbound and domestic tour operator businesses, as well as retail stores, technology and other assets, according to Intourist’s statement. It said the completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals.

The chairman also said on Friday that once they have recapitalized and restructured Intourist, they intend to share Intourist with the Russian people through an initial public offering (IPO) to celebrate its glorious comeback.

Koçkar noted that they signed the preliminary agreement for Öger Tours, Bucher Reisen and Neckermann. “Öger Tours is a very old Turkish brand. It was a matter of pride for us to get it back. Neckermann and Bucher are also among the biggest brands in Germany. We are also taking over all of the domestic and international operations of these brands,” Koçkar said.

Anex Tour carried some 1.9 million people to Turkey so far in 2019, the chairman stated. “Of this, 150,000 were from Germany and 1.7 million from Russia and CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) countries. With the impact of acquisitions next year, this figure will increase by more than 50% and exceed 3 million,” he continued.

After the procurement operations, the company’s turnover will rise to 10 billion euros, Koçkar further said, adding the number of people traveling will reach 8 million. “Thus, after TUI, the second-largest tour operator in the world will be a Turkish company,” he noted.

Koçkar further stressed that after the completion of the purchasing operations in Russia and Germany, they expect to sit down at the table again with Chinese Fosun, adding they are open to negotiations for Thomas Cook's U.K. operation as well.

Blue Sapphire Review

Review of blue sapphire.

The 1981-built Saga Sapphire cruise ship (now Blue Sapphire) was one of Saga Cruises UK 's two old vessels - together with the fleetmate Saga Pearl 2 . Sapphire was transferred to Saga Holidays/Saga Travel (part of SAGA Group UK) in 2011 and inaugurated in March 2012.

Saga Sapphire and Saga Pearl 2 were both withdrawn from service (left the fleet) after SAGA Group's two newbuilds - Spirit of Discovery (2019) and Spirit of Adventure (2020) - were delivered. In August 2019 was announced that Saga Sapphire will be acquired by ANEX Tours (Turkey's largest travel agency/tour operator), starting operations for ANEX Tours in mid-2020. The 39-year-old liner was sold to/acquired by ANEX Tours on June 18, 2020.

The ship (renamed "Blue Sapphire") started operations for ANEX Tours in 2021, with an inaugural cruise program based on roundtrips from homeport Antalya Turkey to Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea ports.

(ANEX Tours/shipowner) In November 2019, after acquiring Thomas Cook Group's subsidiaries in Germany (Oger Tours, Bucher Reisen, Neckermann) and Russia (Intourist / 1929-founded USSR-Russia travel brand privatized in the 1990s by Vladimir Yevtushenkov), ANEX Tours became the world's second-largest tour operator - after TUI Group. The company's Chairman (Neset Kockar) commented that expects the annual passenger volume to increase to 8 million and the turnover to reach ~EUR 10 billion (~USD 11B).

Thomas Cook Group (2007-founded / 2019-defunct) was a British travel group formed by the merger of Thomas Cook AG (British-German, 2001-founded) and MyTravel Group plc (British, 1972-founded). Neset Kockar (ANEX Tours) was the second-largest shareholder in Thomas Cook Group - after Fosun International (China).

In late-February ANEX Turkey announced its new brand "Selectum Blu Cruises", with CEO Necdet Ucarlar. ANEX Tours plans to expand Selectum Blu Cruises' fleet to 3 ships (second-hand vessels), with itineraries in Europe, Asia and Caribbean, and homeporting in Turkey, China (or Vietnam) and the Dominican Republic. ANEX Tours sell holidays (including ship cruises) since 1996.

Saga Sapphire's last drydock refurb (by SAG UK) was in 2015. Following the acquisition, ANEX Tours Turkey planned a drydock refurbishment for Blue Sapphire to be conducted in 2020-Q3. As of December 1, 2020, the ship was docked at Port Marmaris Turkey .

For SAGA UK, the vessel (IMO number 7822457) was Malta- flagged (MMSI 256208000) and registered in Valletta . Following the ANEX acquisition, Blue Sapphire is now Bahamas-flagged (MMSI 311000978) and registered in Nassau .

"Selectum Blu Cruises" is operated via the Malta-based subsidiary "AnexSea Cruises Ltd" (February 2020-incorporated, company number C94928, headquartered in Sliema, Malta) and plans to acquire/purchase a second vessel.

History - construction and ownership

Saga Cruises (Saga Shipping) is a UK-based company, division of Saga Group. By purchasing Saga Rose, Saga Group started its passenger shipping operations. The boat operated as flagship until 2005 when was added Saga Ruby (bought from Cunard Line). For the 2003 summer Saga Cruises chartered mv Minerva (built 1989), which was renamed to Saga Pearl. Saga Rose was retired after a final 37-night Mediterranean voyage. Subsequently, the ship was scrapped in China. Saga Ruby departed for Gibraltar out of Southampton for the last time on Jan. 10 and was handed over to the new shipowner on January 13, 2014.

Saga Sapphire was originally built for Hapag-Lloyd Cruises as ms Europa (link to the HP ship). "MS Europa" was the 5th ship for Hapag-Lloyd with that name. Through the years, the vessel was renamed several times - SuperStar Europe (1999-2000, owner Star Cruises Asia ), Superstar Aries (2000-2004, owner Star Cruises Asia), ms Holiday Dream (2004-2008, owner Club Vacaciones), Bleu de France (2008-2011, owner Pulllmantur-CDF ). In November 2010, the ship was bought by Saga UK but remained on charter by CDF-France (Pullmantur subsidiary) for the next year. After an extensive refit in 2012, the ship received the name "MS Saga Sapphire".

The 752-passenger ship Saga Sapphire was introduced (as the company's flagship) in March 2012. Sapphire was the largest vessel operated by Saga Group (a UK-based corporation that specializes in financial services and also cruise shipping for 50+ aged travelers).

In November 2011, Saga Holidays took ownership of Pullmantur CDF’s Bleu de France, immediately beginning a multimillion drydock refurbishment of the 706-passenger vessel. The vessel changed hands a few times since its debut in 1981 as Hapag-Lloyd's Europa. Saga Cruises successfully created a stylish but contemporary ship with lovely British touches. A part of the refurb was the stunning 7-m installation of 1395 stainless steel fish (Atrium Lobby's centerpiece). To Saga Sapphire's staterooms (Deck 8) were added 46 step-out balconies - increasing the balcony cabins to 65. Amenities include electronic safe box and lifejackets (in the closet), DVD player, smart HDTV, direct-dial phone (intercom), hairdryer, mini-fridge, individually controlled air-conditioning. Public spaces were redesigned and now support using mobile devices via Wi-Fi connectivity (Saga UK's first such amenity).

Decks and Cabins

Saga Sapphire/Blue Sapphire staterooms (382 total, in 25 categories) and include 6 Royal Suites, 1 Owner Suite, 3 Grand Suites, Standard Outside (1 Suite, 2 Singles, 21 Doubles /all with obstructed views), Standard Inside Single, 6 wheelchair-accessible cabins. Of all staterooms, 179 are with baths (of which 20 have showers) and 58 are studios (single-occupancy cabins, including 2 with balconies). The total 65 Balcony cabins are with relatively narrow step-out verandas (still but big enough for sitting).

The boat has 12 decks , of which 9 are passenger-accessible and 8 with cabins. The cruise ship is of an older design and has no identical (production-line fabricated/same-sized) cabins.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

Dining venues on Saga Sapphire are fare-included. Saga Sapphire’s main Pole to Pole restaurant is situated on Deck 7, accommodating a maximum of 620 people. Pole to Pole is split into separate themed areas on seven continents, with intimate impression. The windows are down each of the room’s sides and geographical variation is provided by enlarged photographs. Dinner is open-seating. It is served between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. The passengers choose to dine as couples or join a table of four or six. Traditionalists prefer eating at the same table, at the same time and with the same companions each day. They can be accommodated by speaking to the maitre d’ on request on cruise’s first day and are expected to use the same table throughout the cruise.

Each morning, a continental buffet is being set out in the restaurant, with waiter service for tea and coffee, fresh toast or cooked items. Waiter-service lunch is provided also in Pole to Pole. The Grill is Saga Sapphire’s alternative dining area on Deck 9. Full waiter service is also available throughout the day, with a self-service salad section during lunch. At lunchtime, if weather permitting, a barbecue grill is being set up on the Verandah. The Grill stays open 30 minutes after Pole to Pole at breakfast. Continental buffet and daily cooked specialities are served at breakfast. Saga Cruises has decided to increase the number of self-serve buffet offerings. Make a reservation for speciality restaurant East to West at no extra charge. The restaurant offers an Asian fusion menu of Thai, Chinese, Sri Lankan and Indian. Lunchtime burgers, hot dogs, fish and chips, are served poolside at the Beach Club, which also offers unlimited soft ice cream.

Shipboard entertainment options - Fun and Sport

The Drawing Room up on Deck 11 provides computers for travellers’ access to the Internet. Wi-Fi is also available. The Academy on Deck 4 is used as an addition to Brittania Lounge for onboard lectures. There and in the library are many books to borrow, as well as DVDs and iPads. The two shops on Deck 8 supply formal wear, resort clothes, confectionery, souvenirs, travel necessities, pharmaceuticals.

Daytime lectures and evening shows are held in Britannia Lounge which is on Deck 8. It serves also as the meeting point for the departures to shore excursions, afternoon teas, and cocktail parties. Britannia Lounge is furnished with soft chairs and sofas - it is the boat's main entertainment venue with an array of musicians and cabarets in the evening, hosting lectures and dancing lessons throughout the day. To the opposite is situated the Card Room, decorated in gold leaf, open to card-game enthusiasts. The Drawing Room up on Deck 11, with expansive observation windows and panoramic views, is furnished with furniture eclectic collection and knick-knacks - an entertainment venue that is alternative with vessel’s second dance floor. The Drawing Room is also a perfect place for a daytime retreat. Cooper's Bar on Deck 8 is a popular pre-dinner bar, themed around the comedian Tommy Cooper. The flat-screen TV is used for half-hour comedy shows.

The Aviators Bar is one deck down, adjacent to Reception Desk. Drinks are available also from the Beach Club on Deck 11, by the pool. The Clubhouse is adjoining the pool area - an indoor room with games like table football and tennis. A small troupe of singers and dancers are available onboard the Saga Sapphire. They perform productions of show tunes that are popular. The afternoon tea is accompanied by a classical trio or string quartet, playing for pre-dinner dancing. Comedians, guest singers, virtuoso instrumentalists take part in cabaret performances, although Saga Sapphire is not a late-night clubbing vessel.

Sapphire’s outdoor cinema “View from the Top” is situated above the Beach Club (Saga's first). The mini-golf course St Andrews is on Deck 12, in front of the ship. Saga's shore excursions are usually led by local guides and they prove to be popular because of the reasonable price.

The Saga Sapphire beauty and spa salon is situated deep down on Deck 2. Alongside the hair salon and the treatment rooms are the steam room and the sauna. A rudimentary gym also awaits for you. There are a whirlpool bath and a heated indoor pool. The main pool is situated on Deck 11 and it is surrounded by sun loungers and deckchairs. Saga Sapphire View from the Top is an outdoor cinema above the Beach Club - the first of its kind for Saga UK. Also on Deck 11 is a small golf course, called St Andrews.

Saga Cruises passengers are not comfortable with the concept “resort casual”. Saga Sapphire is not dedicated to 21st-century fashion. Most of the men wear ties and jackets even on casual evenings; suits are for informal nights. Also frequently used are the cravats and blazers, particularly among Britannia Club members. Women usually wear blouse-and-skirt combinations, dresses, light, and airy or elegant cocktail outfits. The seven-night cruises have two formal nights; the 2-weeks voyages have three.

Tips for cabin stewards and waiters are included in fares. There are no gratuities added automatically to bar bills or spa treatments. The pound sterling is the currency on board.

Saga cruise passengers are 50-60+, mainly British and repeaters (known as "saganauts"). This typical UK cruise ship is adults-only (child-free environment). Ship's last Captain (for Saga) was Julian Burgess. While operated by Saga UK, the ship was Malta- flagged (MMSI 256208000) and registered in Valletta .

In 2018, Saga Sapphire passengers had the unique opportunity to visit the Meyer Werft shipbuilding yard (in Papenburg Germany ) and see the construction of Saga's new ship Spirit of Discovery .

ANEX Tour: 20 weekly flights to La Romana its biggest operation in Dominican Republic

FROM RUSSIA AND UKRAINE THROUGH ITS AIRLINE AZUR AIR

The tour operator ANEX Tour reported that the 20 weekly flights from  Russia  and  Ukraine to the Dominican Republic are confirmed for the winter season 2021-2022. All of them will be made by the airline Azur Air  to La Romana  International Airport .

Charter flight scheduling will begin in October, with routes from four new regions of Russia and Ukraine, doubling the number of tourists brought to the country from those nations before the pandemic.

ANEX, which is among the leading tour operators for the Dominican Republic in the Russian and Ukrainian markets, said that to the current flights from  Moscow, Yekaterinburg,  and St. Petersburg,  new routes would be added from the Rostov, Kazan, Ufa, Novosibirsk regions.

It will be, said ANEX Tour, “the largest charter flight program made from these markets to Dominican airports,” which confirms its business leadership.

“Now we will reach more regions of Russia to be able to promote tourism to the country and make it more accessible and comfortable with direct flights,” the company says in a press release.

ANEX Tour will have daily flights from Kiev and Moscow, two flights every 11 days from St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg, and one flight every ten days from Kazan Rostov, Ufa, and Novosibirsk. All include business class and catering services.

Russia is one of the most important international markets for Dominican tourism.  From 79,668 Russians received in 2010, it went to 217,082 in 2019.  Ukraine contributed 5,531 tourists in 2010 and reached 29,769 in 2018.  In 2021, 50,998 Ukrainians transported mainly by ANEX Tour had been received, representing 15% of Europeans arriving in the country by air.

“Our main goal was to double our 2019-2020 pre-pandemic winter capacity for the 2021-2022 winter season and we are proud to achieve this goal,” highlighted ANEX Tour.

ANEX thanked the “full support” it received from the ministries of Foreign Affairs and Tourism, the Civil Aviation Board (JAC),   La Romana Airport,  and the Embassy of the Dominican Republic in the Russian Federation.

“We are grateful to have partners from all segments of the tourism industry who support us and who choose to be part of the growth of tourism with us investing and growing in the Dominican Republic.  We value their full support and believe in joining forces,” the ANEX Tour statement reads.

Becourse of this I think tourists from other countries Will stop coming to DR

Stop talking negative, we welcome any person that want to visit ours country. They are helping us to have a job and earn a great living. Todos los turistas son bienvenidos. Y serán tratados con respeto y un servicio excelente. Arriba DR mi patria.

DR better ask for a PCR test from these tourists. We are asking for trouble allowing in this many tourists without a negative Covid test. Collectively between those two countries they have almost 30,000 cases a day.

England's kris kim, 16, set to make pga tour debut, following in footsteps of his lpga mom, share this article.

High-level golf runs in the family for 16-year-old Kris Kim, who will make his PGA Tour debut this week at the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. Kim’s mother, Ji-Hyun Suh, played on the LPGA in 1998 and 1999, at the same time superstar Se Ri Pak burst onto the global stage.

Kim, who hails from Surrey, England, brings quite the resume to Texas. His 2023 triumphs include the R&A Boys’ Amateur Championship, European Boys Individual Championship and the McGregor Trophy.

He also went undefeated at the Junior Ryder Cup, defeating another up-and-coming star, Miles Russell, 5 and 4, in singles. The 15-year-old Russell, of course, tied for 20th recently on the Korn Ferry Tour .

View this post on Instagram A post shared by England Golf (@england.golf)

“I can’t wait to play in front of big crowds again. I’ve never hit the ball as far as I did at the Ryder Cup,” Kim said in a release. “The adrenaline rush makes golf so much fun. That said, having played that course, and a few more Tour courses, I appreciate the task ahead and look forward to the challenge.”

Kim, who is playing in McKinney on a sponsor exemption, became the first amateur sponsored by CJ Group last May. Managed by Trinifold Sports, Kim also became the first European amateur to sign an NIL deal with Under Armour and the first British amateur to sign with TaylorMade.

Suh, who briefly returned to competition in Europe in 2014 after a 12-year break, told tour officials that she took up golf at age 13 in Seoul after her father forced her to quit tennis.

“My father would take me at five in the morning and I would hit balls all day and my hands would hurt,” she said. “I didn’t like it very much, but my father did. So I continued practicing from the age of 13 and I became very good. Then, I joined the Korean National team, turned professional in 1998 and afterwards I decided to try and play in America.”

Suh recorded two T-15 finishes in 1998 on the LPGA at the Friendly’s Classic and Giant Eagle LPGA Classic.

Her stint in America fell short, she said, because her English wasn’t very good and it was difficult to travel on her own. With no sponsors in the U.S., she ultimately left for the Japan LPGA, where she played for one year until she met her husband and stopped altogether.

That was in 2002. The couple moved to Surrey and Suh took up a teaching career at a local golf course.

While Suh’s path into the game was laid out by her father, Cuddington Golf Club director Paul Schunter told BBC Sport that Kim’s passionate pursuit is self-motivated.

“I’ve never known a more dedicated youngster,” said Schunter, who watched Kim’s game develop as a youngster at Cuddington.

“And he could not have asked for better parents. They have been so encouraging. All the pushing has come from Kris because he has always wanted to play and practice more and more.”

Kim doesn’t have to look far to learn more about how to handle the next step of his career.

“I’ll definitely ask my mum for advice,” he said. “It is going to be a very different environment and you don’t know how you will respond to it. She’ll help me deal with it. She’s my coach and we talk about everything from dealing with nerves, taking one shot at a time, leaving bad shots behind and keeping it simple right through to course strategy.

“My first aim is to make the cut and then see what happens. At the end of the day I’m one of 144 competitors and we’ve all got a chance. Whatever happens, it’s going to be super helpful for my future because I’ll gain so much experience. I know I’m still young and pretty much every week I learn a lesson, but this week is going to be a lot bigger.”

Shunning Rory McIlroy would represent epic embarrassment for PGA Tour

World No 2 basically auditioning for acceptance to return to policy board is faintly ludicrous in increasingly fractured sport

T he most unpalatable and unlikely scenario could be a necessary one. Rory McIlroy to LIV has been rumoured, slapped down, rumoured and slapped down. Yet as the PGA Tour procrastinates over completion of a deal with the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, and even the formal involvement of McIlroy himself, one wonders if it may take something nuclear to allow golf to wake up to the haplessness of its present, fractured state. Should McIlroy sign for golf’s rebel tour the establishment would be sent into a level of frenzy so serious that collaboration between the PGA Tour, LIV and the PIF would surely transpire in a heartbeat.

There is no suggestion this will happen. Still, Greg Norman knew precisely what he was doing in recent days. “If Rory was willing to sit down and have a conversation with us, would we be happy to sit down with him?” Norman said. “100%.” McIlroy is not actually the PGA Tour’s main concern. The live prospect of LIV continuing a talent drain on established tours into 2025 should be the prime cause for fear. While not McIlroy, it could be Viktor Hovland . If not Hovland, it could be Tommy Fleetwood. The PGA Tour and its marquee events are being materially harmed by golf’s lack of compatibility. This will continue to be the case while the PGA Tour wanders aimlessly on one path and LIV confidently on another.

A Monday morning conference call will determine whether or not McIlroy will make a return to the PGA Tour’s policy board and become a director of the recently established PGA Tour Enterprises. This vote should have taken place on Wednesday. It is a telling indicator of the corporate muddle that McIlroy – not the most famous individual in golf but surely the most influential – was not immediately welcomed with open arms. It is faintly ludicrous that the world No 2 and a proper needle-mover in golf has to hang around and audition for acceptance. The 34-year-old has connections across business and golf that should render a role for him a complete no-brainer. Yasir al-Rumayyan, the governor of the PIF, will take McIlroy’s call; a courtesy unlikely to given to others not named Tiger Woods.

The only assumption to be drawn from the needless delay is that there are those who are hardly impressed by McIlroy stepping back into prominence. The Northern Irishman has been candid about his desire for a global game, where the best play the best in all corners of the globe. If top-level golf was created today, this is precisely the model that would be followed. Yet for too long – and still now – people involved in the PGA Tour are obsessed only by the PGA Tour. It is an insular standpoint which, combined with Saudi riches, has left the organisation forced into a commercial partnership with a group of US-based sports owners to keep heads above water. Even with that agreement in place the PGA Tour’s medium-term outlook, with $20m events not nearly enough people care about, isn’t positive.

As the sport loses eyeballs, players have become overly empowered. Golfers would never ask commercial types to line up putts for them but seem to believe they are qualified to make business calls. This is the reason a group of directors did not instantly tick a box and return McIlroy to the fold. Among them is Patrick Cantlay. McIlroy has already been plain about the fact he and the world No 8 “see the world quite differently”. Which is fine. In fact, it is perhaps essential in a boardroom.

Nobody knows precisely what Cantlay wants because he has passed up countless opportunities to articulate it. At Sawgrass, immediately before he joined a trip to the Bahamas to meet Rumayyan, Cantlay was so vague in response to questions about his sport’s future that it was tricky to keep eyes open while listening. A day after McIlroy’s potential reappearance was reported, Cantlay was on the interview schedule at the Zurich Classic. By total coincidence, Cantlay’s practice schedule meant he was not able to appear for questioning.

Woods is intriguing in this situation. It is only fair to believe fellow professionals who state the 15-time major winner takes his board position seriously, despite this being an individual who has had others basically wiping his backside since he shot to worldwide fame. Woods had no previous requirement to study spreadsheets. Despite not being a board member at the time, Woods was upset at having no prior knowledge of the 6 June framework agreement announced between the PGA Tour and PIF. This resentment seems to have lingered. If anyone had cause for anger, it was McIlroy; he earlier did so much of the PGA Tour’s public bidding against LIV. Rather than sulk, McIlroy wants to be a force for greater good.

JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL pic.twitter.com/NefSbCQjAk — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) April 29, 2024

The bigger issue is that Woods’s entire legacy is wrapped up in the PGA Tour. He needs the PGA Tour, above or even at the cost of all else, to thrive and prosper. If the shape of elite golf changes it would only be natural for Woods to ponder how his achievements may be viewed decades from now. Like Cantlay, though, Woods has been hopelessly opaque when placed behind a microphone.

There are other reasons for McIlroy to be involved. If the PGA Tour wants to present itself as an upwardly mobile organisation, it surely cannot operate without European presence in its decision making. There is scepticism about the value of a strategic alliance between the PGA and DP World Tour; that is only enhanced by such a US-centric boardroom.

A conference call on Monday will determine the next step. Shunning McIlroy would represent an epic embarrassment. Whether the four-time major winner is back to front and centre, this must also be the trigger for others on the PGA Tour to finally display the courage of their convictions. Minus McIlroy, golf is sleepwalking.

Anex Tour refund problems

**Edit: After urgency they refunded whole cost. Stars changed from 1 to 3. Anex tour is one big scam travel agency. We booked a tour, canceled it on the same day and still haven't received the money. It's been almost a year. Support replied that they were forwarding it to a certain department, but no response since then. We have been ripped off and Invia should be ashamed of themselves for delivering tours through such a dubious company.

Date of experience : September 07, 2023

we had a trip booked through an annex employee who gave us wrong information. after reviewing our complaint, they wrote to us from the annex that we should solve the problems with the agency through which we went on the trip, that they do not take responsibility. We were deceived by their person who gave us wrong information, because of which we had to pay extra for the trip! How can they say that they are not responsible. the change did not occur in the implementation of the trip, but in the information he gave us.

Egoistic Drivers and Travel Agents who dont speak english

We stayed in Thailand, Moracea Hotel, when the Anex Tour Bus arrived they completely blocked all incoming traffic to the hotel and didnt care about shiet. We waited for our taxi and seen it but it couldnt get in. Travel agent stormed past us, they took all the their time unloading luggage mind you, the bus driver could have driven into the hotel parking spot. When we talked to him he ignored us.

Zero customer Support - Be aware

It is simple, if you need to call or any support from them you will understand this ULTRA low score! They do not focus on customer support, like answering emails or waiting 30+ min to get your call answered (observation - there is not urgent support). In another words, if you got all 100% ok, that is good you will not need them, however, if you have a simple inquiry you are ALONE! They should spent less money on advertising and more on customer support. This company never again!!!

I do not recommend Anex tour

My husband and I booked our holidays in Turkey with Anex tour. They offered us during the first day small daily trips. The main problems were: 1) the prices were overrated compared with other local agencies. However we hadn't that information when we agreed for the trip, and they wanted the payment fast, in the same day. 2) after 2 days I canceled that trip because I wasn't feeling well because of the pregnancy. I asked for a refund but they gave nothing. Firstly their argument to deny the payment was late notification, and secondly they ask for document to prove my sickness. I think that this agency wants just to steal money from the tourist.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND Anex Tour

I DO NOT RECOMMEND Anex Tour. In April 2023 we had a trip from Prague to Turkey through them and we got a delegate named Caglar K. He robbed us of our money, then ignored calls and messages. We tried to resolve the situation directly through the agency, where repeatedly no one answered the phone and no one responded to emails either. We contacted Invia to help us ( they brokered a tour with Anex) and unfortunately nothing has been resolved yet. Anex Tour and their delegate Caglar K. robbed us of 150€ for a trip that, through his fault, did not take place and there was no refund. It ruined the last 3 days of our trip and we still came home poorer.

Guys stay away from this Turkish tour guide. They will never assist you if you need help. They left me stranded on Dominican island without any assistance or even offer a return ticket back because I got Covid. I had to pay a one way return ticket for over 1000 usd. They will take your money and leave you like garbage in a bin.

We are writing to express our dissatisfaction with the tour we booked with you on 24.04.2023. We bought two vouchers from you for 100€ each, but later we discovered that the same tour was offered for others travelers for 85€. Furthermore, we were not informed about the details of the tour itinerary. We expected a pleasant and relaxing day trip, but instead we had to wake up at 3:55 am and spend more than 16 hours on the road. We had to stop at a store, a wine tasting, and two restaurants that were not part of our original plan. We had a Russian-speaking guide. She was nice! We were very disappointed and exhausted by this experience. We did not get what we paid for and what we expected from your agency. We request a full refund of our vouchers or a compensation of 15€ per person for the difference in price and the inconvenience caused. We hope you will take our complaint seriously and respond to us as soon as possible.

Customer service is a big zero

Customer service is a big zero! I called the customer service in Düsseldorf. First, they kept me waiting forever till someone answered the call. Then, the woman (with very poor German) had absolutely no idea how to handle my request. She put me several times on hold, finally said, she would call me back as she need to speak to her colleague. When she called me back, she had a solution, all was good and settled. 10 minutes later, she called me back again and informed that what she said was not possible any more, our request would cost now more than 300 euros extra. Ridiculous!

Never ever book again with Anex tours

Customer service is unreachable Average waiting time 1 hour When you eventually have someone on the phone they give you a wrong answer or say they can't help. After a few calls I ended up with someone that did help me ( total call time 3,5 hours from Holland to Germany). Send numerous emails: NO reply Send Facebook message: NO reply Their representative in Hurgada knows absolutely nothing . Waist of energy and time to talk to this man. Sorry I never book with this company again They book the trip , send the papers and that's it. Don't expect any service at all

I wouldn't recommend this company…

I wouldn't recommend this company because the adventure started from our arrival at the hotel. Our flight was delayed, therefore the guide left us with the Turkish driver who did not know any languages either Russian or English. We had a group of 18 people from different hotels, so the driver asked the GPS how to get to the hotels and it took 3 hours of going in rounds. We were extremely exhausted when he left us at the wrong hotel and went away. We had to take the taxi and paid quite a lot of money because it was 30 minutes to our hotel by taxi. The guide from Anex Tour said that they would not give us the refund even though we gave him the receipt from the taxi driver.

Anex Tour can be even better

We, 2 persons, chose Anex Tour for Egypt (Sharm El Sheikh) travel on January 23-31, 2022. The overall travel experience is pretty much positive - Anex Tour agents are taking care and all the formalities during entire trip. After our arrival Anex Tour employee advertised several possible tours organized by agency. We have decided to align with Anex Tour employee dates, conditions and order one of the offers that we were interested in. Then suddenly we found out that our travel date is deferent that was agreed with Anex Tour. As we found out from Anex Tour employee it happened due to lack of the free place for needed date. We were surprised as we have informed employee regarding specific week day and time that fit our schedule and it was almost one week before the trip. It happened that nobody from Anex Tour side was asking for our approval for changing trip date. Unfortunately agency was not able to do a refund or add us to the list of tourists who travel on agreed at the beginning date. Long story short - keep an eye on Anex Tour in order to get what you are expecting and agreed with them. It will help to avoid miss understanding and do your trip even better.

Excursion disaster with Anex tour Sharm el Sheikh

I am writing this review while in being here Sharm el Sheikh to warn other tourists against buying excursions from Anex tour. We bought an excursion from Anex tour for 340 dollars per person, the programme included: flight to Luxor, visiting the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, the temple of Hatshepsut, Karnak and Luxor temples, lunch, Russian-speaking Egyptologist!!!!. All this was promised to us by a guide from Anex tour company called Mizu. We have warned Mizu that we are aware of overestimated cost of excursion (within guides who just walk around the hotel this tour costs 215-225 dollars per person), but we expect qualitative service on history of Ancient Egypt. On arrival at Luxor early in the morning we were met by our guide Dua, who began her story about the city itself. Her language skills left a lot to be desired, but that was not the main problem. The problem was that she rarely threw uninformative phrases about the cost of education in kindergarten, school, Luxor University, about the harvest of wheat, mangoes, papyrus and nothing of the great history of Ancient Egypt. It even got to the absurd: when we asked about the statue of an armed man in front of the Luxor hospital, she said: "Just some man!". At the first point of the tour, she recited a memorised text for 15 minutes, sent us to take pictures and sat in the shade. She did the same at the second point. So instead of allotted 1,5 - 2 hours on each point of the excursion, we finished in 30 min. For lunch we arrived at 11 am!!! as we quickly galloped through the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, Hatshepsut's tomb and even to the souvenir shop at her insistence. Then after lunch (it was closer to 12:00) she started persuading us to deviate from the planned itinerary, to buy a trip to the island of monkeys and a boat trip from her, because it is hot for her to lead the excursion now. We refused the monkey island, she reluctantly took us to Karnak and Luxor temples, again 15 minutes of quick memorised text, again sending us off to take photos on our own. Thus, we arrived at Luxor airport at 16:30 when other tourists who had taken similar excursions were arriving by 19:00. Our guide Dua proved herself to be unprofessional, lazy, greedy and most importantly, leaving an extremely negative impression of the country. In addition, being in the same Karnak or Luxor museum, seeing how the guides of other groups work, strengthened the impression of complete deception on her part. Conclusions include: 1. Do not take excursions from Anex tour as the price is inflated by at least 40% (this is after persistent haggling); 2. The ratio of price to quality of the tour does not correspond at all, as they take just locals who know Russian and are so lazy that they can't even read Wikipedia on the eve of the tour; 3. not to come to Egypt anymore, as the overall service is only getting worse, and rogue guides leave an extremely negative impression. If this review will be read by Egyptian tourism representatives, please licence the activities of the guides. These unprofessionals are a disgrace to your history and your heritage and are creating a reputation of constant trickery and deceit amongst numerous peoples! We as tourists go back home and recount all our failures in Egypt.

FRAUDULENT COMPANY.

Anex tours is a terrible agency to use. Me and my family booked a tour to Istanbul as an English family. The company representative (knowing our nationality by our passports and the way we spoke) booked us for a RUSSIAN tour. Since then the company has failed to apologise for the uncomfort we felt during our stay. DO NOT BOOK ANYTHING THROUGH THIS FRAUDULENT COMPANY.

I do recommend

I do recommend. I went to Turkey with my family for one week and everything was organised perfect. I travelled with two small kids and I did not have to think about nothing thanks to Anex. An the end we lost our covid test paper and represant of Anex was in 10 min at the airport and gave us a supportance so we were able to come back to Germany. Thank you very much. I would choose Anex Tour next time for sure.

It's a 0 star for ANEX Tour:(

It's a 0 star for ANEX Tour:( This summer my family and I spent 10 days in Turkey. The hotel was 4 star's, but really not worthy of 1. Anex tour we're no help in trying to relocate us, and were not interested in giving any sort of compensation. NO customer service whatsoever:( I'll never travel with ANEX Tour again. :(((((((((

Dillon Board wanted to go back to 'being a creator.' He created a gem last week in Texas

Dillon Board needed to refresh his game and had the solution. 

Go back to work. 

He not only found it in the dirt but in some familiar Westside dirt, with his longtime swing coach, at the Bent Creek Golf Club following two missed cuts in Argentina and Chile. 

And they were no-frills practice sessions. 

“No launch monitors, no video, no Track Man ... just me hitting and Eric watching,” said the Baldwin High graduate and member of the Korn Ferry Tour. “We went back to basics, hit some shots, tried not to over-analyze and just tried to paint a picture in my head. Real old-school stuff.” 

It worked, at least for one week, and it guaranteed that Board will get more starts, beginning in two weeks with the Korn Ferry’s stop in Kansas City, Mo. 

Board posted his best career finish on the Korn Ferry Tour last week with a tie for 16 th in the Veritex Bank Championship at the Texas Rangers Golf Club in Arlington, Texas. Board shot 19-under 165, with rounds of 64, 66, 69 and 66. 

Board made eight birdies in the final round and drained four putts of 17 feet or longer – including a 52-footer at No. 16. 

“It was a solid week,” he said. 

Board had to correct misses to the left

Board said he developed a left miss in South America, which is especially dangerous since he and Holcomb committed to a left-to-right game a few years ago. 

“When you’re aiming left for a fade and you go left, that’s concerning,” Board said. 

The work he and Holcomb put in took a week to take hold. Board missed his third cut in a row at the LECOM Suncoast Classic but he made enough birdies to convince him he was on the right track. 

Board said he likely would have made the field for the Advent Health Championship May 16-19 without his finish in Arlington. But the tie for 16 th got him in the field under the Korn Ferry Tour’s top-25 exemption for the following week and no doubt will help moving forward. 

Board is 90 th on the Korn Ferry points list. 

Board plays better when he's 'a creator'

In the end, he said when he has a feel for the game, he plays better. 

“I try to be a creator, an artist,” Board said. “I was trying too hard to be too precise. And it’s all about giving yourself opportunities. 

If Board can gain some steam, it would be one of the better success stories on the Korn Ferry Tour. He earned conditional status at the PGA Tour Q-School last December (then captained the winning team in the Henry Tuten Gator Bowl Pro-Am) and posted a top-20 in his first start in Colombia. 

Board played golf at three colleges and, by his best estimate, eight mini or developmental tours. He said he made a deal with his wife Mackenzie that if he didn’t get Korn Ferry status by the time he was 30, he’d “hung it up and gone out in the real world.” 

He turned 30 last November. Time is still on his side.

Thirty years later, this taunt by a Massachusetts heckler still haunts Jerry Seinfeld.

When it comes to hecklers, there's no shortage of them in Massachusetts, whether it has to do with sports, or even comedy shows.

Just ask legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

Seinfeld is currently doing publicity for his new film, "Unfrosted, " which comes out this Friday, May 3, on Netflix. The movie – which is loosely based on the story about the creation of Pop-Tarts – is his feature directorial debut.

In the course of doing publicity for the film , Seinfeld recalled a nightmarish experience while doing a stand-up show in Boston.

What happened to Jerry Seinfeld in Boston?

Over thirty years ago back in 1993, Seinfeld was in Boston for a show when a heckler called him out.

“I had this amazing bit about weddings. It was fantastic. It was so long, and it covered everything. It was a great bit, and I worked on it and worked on it,” he told sport's journalist Graham Bensinger recently on his YouTube show, “ In Depth with Graham Bensinger .” “And I love developing and polishing every little detail of a bit. So it takes me forever.”

Apparently, at that particular gig , Seinfeld started in on a bit before being interrupted.

"I start into the bit and somebody yells, ‘Heard it,'” Seinfeld told Bensinger in a recent interview. “And that was a tough one. I still think about it. It was mean. It was true.”

Comedian Adam Sandler was the opening act that night.

Why is Seinfeld talking about that Boston show?

Seinfeld is doing publicity for his new movie, "Unfrosted," about the invention of "Pop-Tarts."

According to Netflix, "Unfrosted" is "set in Michigan in 1963, the year before Pop-Tarts hit grocery store shelves." Seinfeld directs, co-wrote and also stars in the movie, according to Netflix.

Seinfeld said in an interview with Netflix that the movie is based on real events, but takes liberties when it comes to the story.

The movie also stars Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, Max Greenfield, Christian Slater, Bill Burr, among others.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.

Grandmother shoots robber in the middle of taylor swift 'eras' movie, hero crimefighter grandma shoots robber ... in the middle of taylor swift 'eras' flick.

Forget anti-heroes ... a grandma in New Mexico is a full-blown hero after shooting an intruder who was on the run from cops -- right in the middle of Taylor Swift 's "Eras" flick!

Anissa Tinnin was watching the movie version of Taylor's tour with her granddaughter. They were having a great time, singing, dancing, popping M&M's ... when a guy named Joseph Rivera came charging through her front door. Turns out Rivera had allegedly stolen a car and cops were on to him.

Tinnin says she was manhandled, threatened and ordered to turn over her car keys, which she did. She says, "I told him not to hurt us ... I would do whatever he wanted."

She says when Rivera walked outside, she called 911 and beelined it for her gun case, where she removed a weapon.

For some reason, Rivera came back inside the house. By this time she had put her granddaughter in a bedroom for safety, but the guy came charging at her.

She screamed, "Get back. I will f***ing shoot you! " ... and she did. He asked why she did it, and Tinnin responded, "Because you're in my f***ing house!"

Tinnin even showed compassion, rendering first aid by putting pressure on the wound.

But, she warned Rivera ... one false move and she'd shoot again.

Cops showed up and Rivera is now in custody, charged with burglary, auto theft and other crimes.

Dude has 5 prior felony convictions for burglaries and theft, the stakes were high for Tinnin, and she rose to the occasion.
