Why Choose PTS?

All the tools you need to run a successful travel business through a trust account, with friendly online software

1

Travel Supplier Database or Your Own Suppliers

However, you choose to run your business, PTS will provide a sturdy foundation. With a large supply of our own contracted suppliers to choose from, or the freedom to add your own suppliers, you can sell the packages you choose with suppliers you trust.

2

Enhance Your Profits

Many solutions in the UK ask large monthly fees, take big profit cuts, and stop members from working freely with any suppliers. We recognise that tour operators need freedom to build their business, create lasting supplier and client relationships, and sell great travel services.

3

One-stop Software System

We believe in making everything as accessible as possible, with just one system for all your needs. From the ability to manage client relationships, to managing and paying suppliers, we can provide all the tools you need to run your business.

4

ATOL

PTS is an ATOL Franchise and recognised by the CAA. You will have full complimentary access to ATOL consultants who are part of the PTS team. If you require a franchise ATOL or your own independent ATOL the PTS team will support both your application and reporting throughout.

Purple Dog Logo

Purple Dog Company entered the sports and adventure travel market in 2019. Our mission was to establish a travel business that offered bespoke sports holiday travel backed up with a compliant and transparent working platform that offers world-class sporting and adventure experiences for our customers, complete with a trusted platform of financial protection. Protected Trust Services supported our vision by offering merchant services, financial protection through its trust account, a software package to support all this, whilst guiding us through the critical ATOL certification application needed to ensure our offerings were in line with our legal obligations. What we didn’t expect was the support and assistance whenever we felt there was a complex scenario for booking. Always on hand to offer support, PTS have fast become our partner of choice.
