In these troubled times it is good to know your holidays are TOTALLY PROTECTED
ATOL is a financial protection scheme for air holiday packages and flights managed by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). All tour operators and travel firms selling air holiday packages and flights in the UK as a principal are required by law to hold a licence called an Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (ATOL), and contribute to a central protection fund called the Air Travel Trust (ATT). In some cases they must also provide the ATT with a bond.
People booked and contracted with a licensed tour operator for a complete air holiday package or a flight are protected from losing money or being stranded abroad if their tour operator goes out of business. Refunds can be made to people who can’t travel, and arrangements can be made to fly people home. The scheme does not protect people who book with airlines.
AITO is the UK travel trade association representing independent and specialist tour operators. Member tour operators selling holiday packages that do not include flights can either be bonded with AiTO, or with another body like ABTA. AiTO also bonds accommodation only arrangements.
This means that all holidays booked with Wild Frontiers are FULLY PROTECTED
