The move to extend the government’s guarantee by one year to 30 September 2022 was confirmed in the report by the Global Travel Taskforce published on Friday (9 April). The government last year issued the ATT guarantee up to 30 September 2021.

“Government will continue to protect consumers’ rights to a refund for Atol-protected bookings, if the issuing business fails,” said the report.


“If a travel business with an Atol ceases trading, the Atol scheme will continue to protect consumers who had booked Atol-protected holidays with that business.
