Understanding Consumer Protection

What Is ATOL And Why Is It So Important

ATOL is short for “Air Travel Organisers Licensing” and exists to protect the general public from losing money or being stranded abroad because of the failure of travel firms. It was introduced in 1972 and gives comprehensive consumer protection to over 28 Million people in the UK who buy flights or air holidays each year.

ATOL is operated by the Civil Aviation Authority (the UK’s specialist aviation regulator). For full details please go to www.caa.co.uk

In January 2008, the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) produced a guidance note to end the confusion surrounding whether or not travel retailers have to provide protection to their customers when booking holidays on their behalf. In our view and in almost every case, all travel retailers providing holiday packages are required to hold an ATOL and additionally have to comply with a further act, “the Package Travel Regulations Act 1992”.

As you are now aware, BeachCollection.co.uk not only provides this protection to our customers but also complies with the Package Travel Regulations Act and when you book with us you can rest, safe in the knowledge that your money is secure. Unfortunately, some very well known travel companies DO NOT provide this protection or cover to their customers and in our view confuse and mislead potential customers into thinking they are protected.

Our advice to you would be to ALWAYS ensure the company you are booking with holds an ATOL license like we do.

The BeachCollection.co.uk ATOL number is 3973.
