Check a company’s Membership
If you wish to check that a travel organiser is a Member of ABTOT, please check here.
When you book with an ABTOT Member you are booking with a specialist holiday provider, approved for Membership by a government approved Association. You can book in confidence and with peace of mind that your pre-payments are protected in the event of their insolvency and that repatriation costs are covered.
Look for the ABTOT logo and financial protection wording (as per example below) on their website, booking conditions and invoice:
