Tour Operators and Travel Agents in the United Kingdom are subject to the provisions of The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992. This legislation implements in the UK the provisions of the EC Directive on Package Travel No. 90/314/EEC.
These regulations require that all Tour Organisers provide financial protection and repatriation cover in the event of their failure.
The Ski Company fully complies with this by protecting you and your money in two ways;
- Firstly, all pre-payments are placed into a designated bank account at
Lloyds TSB and held until after the return of your trip.
- Secondly, cover by an approved insurance policy.
The cover will have three elements:
- Financial Protection in the event of the Tour Operator/Holiday Organiser ceasing to trade.
- Repatriation Cover in respect of additional travel and accommodation expenses reasonably incurred following the failure of the Tour Organiser as authorised by the assistance Company.
- Assistance - to
repatriate/advise the Insured.
To summarise, all this means that in the unlikely event of our insolvency whether it happens before your holiday or during your holiday, you should not end up out of pocket. |
