Benefits of booking with an ATOL Tour Operator
- Government Guaranteed Protection
ATOL is a licensing scheme for travel companies which is operated by the UK's Civil Avaition Authority. - Peace of mind because you can book with confidence
ATOL regularly carries out financial checks on the travel companies it licenses every year. - If you book a complete holiday with a FULLY BONDED ATOL travel company, like Sportif, you will be protected. Some companies only provide a part protection ie that they will refund you if they go out of business but do not have the same obligations as an ATOL licensed travel company. An ATOL licensed company is responsible for each component of your holiday. If there is a problem with one of them, before you go or when you're away, they must sort it out and provide you with help and assistance.Be sure to check the cover you have.

Beware....
If you build your own holiday and book direct with an airline or hotel you won't be protected.
If you book your flights and hotel separately online, it may be cheaper, but your holiday and money will be at risk if one of the companies providing the components collapses. You could be left with holiday accommodation and no flight to get there, or be stranded abroad.
