Changes in FCDO advice to warn people against all non-essential travel to a destination will continue to act as the “trigger” for customers to be able to cancel holidays and claim refunds.

Matt Gatenby, senior partner and head of litigation at Travlaw, stressed the importance of FCDO advice during the virtual conference.
