AIR TRAVEL ORGANISER'S LICENCE
The License is issued by the CAA to tour
operators who meet certain financial requirements including
putting up a 'bond'. If the tour operator fails, the
bond money is used to enable clients abroad to complete
their holidays and return home, and to compensate those
who still have to go on holiday, but have paid some
or all the cost in advance. Click on the logo to learn more

THE ASSOCIATION OF BRITISH
TRAVEL AGENTS
This is a trade
body for travel agents and tour operators. It has both
a 'commercial role' to promote the interests of its
members and a 'regulatory' role. ABTA members have to
operate to Codes of Conduct produced by the organisation,
they are bonded so that client's money is protected
in the event of failure and in the event of an unresolved
dispute between a passenger and an ABTA member there
is an arbitration service available which can be used
as an alternative to legal action.
Please click on the ABTA logo to be taken to the ABTA
site where you will find more information. |
