As a start-up tour operator offering guided motorbike tours in Europe, Protected Trust Services offer the ideal services to enable us to comply with the 1992 EU Package Travel Regulations. The new CRM tool, trust account and merchant services are essential day to day services to ensure that we keep our business and our clients' interests safe. I'm looking forward to working towards becoming a successful and trusted Tour Operator.

As a new travel operator, understanding and complying with the 1992 Package Travel Regulations is an important hurdle to overcome, and the team at PTS were immensely helpful and professional in helping us achieve this. In addition, the software platform was a significant positive in our selection of PTS as our partner. Thanks to all at PTS for your patience as we set up our business.
