THE owner of the UK’s biggest naturist holiday operator put a host of under-performing businesses up for sale.

Travelzest, which owns nudist firm Peng Travel as well as luxury brands such as Best of Morocco and Captivating Cuba, wants to focus on its more successful operations in Canada and new brands such as flight.co.uk.

The move follows the collapse of takeover talks after a bid from Canadian travel firm Red Label came in “significantly” short of hopes.

Travelzest said potential buyers had been identified for a number of the businesses and brands up for sale.
