About Atol
Protecting your travels.
If your package holiday is ATOL protected, you can trust that your hard-earned cash is secure. If your travel company ceases trading, we’ll support you if you are abroad or reimburse you if you are due to travel.
Atol Description
Travel is important. It’s a way to broaden your horizons, take a break from the stresses of everyday life and spend time with the ones that mean the most to you, even if that means some quality time by yourself. As with anything important, you will want to protect it.
The Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing scheme (ATOL) was introduced in 1973, when package holidays were beginning to take off. Since then, travel has changed in many ways and more of us than ever before are choosing to spend money on experiences abroad. Developments in the travel industry have made far-away places more accessible, allowing for travel companies to craft package holidays that suit every taste. Laying by the beach may be one person’s idea of heaven, while another’s may be trekking through the forest.
We want to protect them all.
The law requires UK-based travel companies to hold an ATOL. This means that the ATOL protected package holidays they sell will be financially secure.
