Consumer Protection

We provide full consumer protection to give you and your customers peace of mind

How Does PTS Offer Consumer Protection?

PTS offers all member companies a trust account and insurance model which ensures all consumer money is fully protected.
PTS members are fully package travel regulation compliant.
All consumers can check the PTS membership of a company prior to booking. Simply contact PTS directly for peace of mind.
If a consumer has any concerns about the allocation of their monies and the holiday supplied by a PTS member they can contact PTS directly.
PTS is FCA registered to ensure trust and confidence when booking with any PTS member.

Why Should Travel Companies Provide Consumer Protection?

When selling to UK consumers, all travel businesses are required to comply with the package travel regulations. As a result, all tour operators and travel agents are legally required to provide consumer protection.
Both UK and international travel must be covered.
Ground-based travel and bookings without flights must also be package travel regulation compliant. If you are providing bookings with flights, you must also be ATOL protected. PTS is an ATOL franchisee and can provide our members with an ATOL where required.
Travel bookings are considered a high ticket item, and as such, all consumers should be aware of the protection in place when booking.
Preventing fraud and ensuring consumer protection in travel is of the utmost importance.
