Dated 7 May, Business Companion’s Coronavirus Bulletin outlines how, in accordance with the Package Travel Regulations (PTRs), “a full refund or rebooking (if Abta or Atol-protected) should be offered” for cancelled package bookings.

It also, however, explains how “the strict application of legislation may not be appropriate” and says “a credit note will be financially protected”.
