> TD Sport - ATOL Protection
 Don't Take A Sporting Chance
Whether you are a sports fan or actually taking part, probably the last thing on your mind when booking
your sports travel arrangements is that your travel firm might go out of business and leave you either
stranded abroad or without your trip and out of pocket.
Sadly travel firms do sometimes go bust and this has in the past
affected both fans and sports clubs. With an array of travel
association logos in brochures and websites, it can be difficult to
know who would look after you if the travel firm organising your
trip went out of business.
TD Travel are ATOL protected.
ATOL, which is part of the Civil Aviation Authority, is a government
backed financial protection scheme which for over 30 years has
provided financial protection for flights and air holidays sold by
tour operators. It currently covers over 28 million people each
year. From the moment you make payment, ATOL protects your
money against the insolvency of over 1,900 of the UK's travel organisers. If an ATOL holder stops trading before you travel, we'll
refund your money and, if you're on your trip, we'll look after you
and bring you and your group home as planned. No worry, no
expense.
To check you're ATOL protected, just look for the ATOL Protected
logo in brochures and on
websites. If a travel firm
offering air packages hasn't
got one, don't book. You may
be putting your money at
risk.
