This Amendment No. 2 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
joint Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended and supplemented, the
"Schedule TO") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29,
2000, by Blue Sea Florida Acquisition Inc. ("Purchaser"), a Florida corporation
and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Airtours plc, a corporation organized
under the laws of England ("Parent"), to purchase all the outstanding shares of
common stock, $.01 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of Travel Services
International, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company"), including the
associated common share purchase rights (the "Rights" and together with the
Common Stock, the "Shares") at a purchase price of $26.00 per Share, net to the
seller in cash without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated February 29, 2000 (the
"Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together
with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the
"Offer"). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase and the Schedule TO.
ITEM 1. SUMMARY TERM SHEET.
The paragraph in the Offer to Purchase under the caption "SUMMARY TERM
SHEET--Can the offer be extended and under what circumstances?" is amended by
adding the following at the end thereof:
"In addition, we may extend the offer for any period required by
law, as described in Section 1 in this offer to purchase, including a
minimum five business day period for a material change to the terms of
the offer and a minimum ten business day period for any change with
respect to the offer price or the number of shares sought or for other
changes of similar significance.
The Merger Agreement does not permit a subsequent offering period
during which shareholders of Travel Services International who do not
tender in the offer would have an additional period of time, beginning
after we have purchased shares tendered in the offer, to tender their
shares at the same price."
