19、ccessful businessman. For each question (23 -28) below the article, choose the correct answer. Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.B PACKAGE HOLIDAY SUCCESS/BTravel operator Joyflight is different from most of its rivals. UK package holiday companies would love to have plenty of repeat
20、business. Instead, in an effort to attract trade, they are forced to spend enormous sums on marketing - but they are operating in a very competitive market. So, although the big travel companies try hard to create attractive brands, if you ask the customers delayed at airports, many arent even sure
21、which company theyve booked with. Ask customers of Joyflight, however, and this is probably their third or fourth holiday with the company.A Joyflight holiday doesnt come cheap; but for their customers this isnt an issue.

Despite greatly increasing its turnover in the past four years, the company has a careful attitude to expansion. Its decision not to sell skiing holidays i
26、n North America proved the right one when many of its rivals failed to persuade British travellers to take the ten-hour flight. Learning from experiences like these, Joyflights two recent departures from its main activity are the acquisitions of restaurant chains in Spain and Italy. And as for movin
