UK Tourists had to pay their bills in full to Thomas Cook 10weeks departure date -so hotels have been too easy with Tour Operators! Hotels should be paid in full once the customer/client/tourist checks into the Hotel! Why have Hotels let these holiday Companies off by allowing them to pay later? The Tour companies should be paying their clients interest from having the clients money in Tour operators bank account for ten weeks prior to travel then the weeks following before hotels are paid-disgraceful business practices!
Been here before when court line went bust no abta then but got home ok hotel was great told us to use it as normal 15 August 1972
If the Hotels are concerned about not being paid, this is their own fault. If they are so stupid that they provide a service without being paid in advance they need to alter their arangement with the Tour Operators. The Tour Operators are paid by their customers before departing on the holiday and the Hotel should insist on payment before the Guests arrive. If all Hotel owners did this the Tour Operators would have to agree.
Financial help for profiteers who are kicking out people with babies? They can afford to survive as capacity will be soaked up by others, although this story about kicking people out has now become so big that the hoteliers are shooting themselves in the foot.
It’s not up too the British government to pay its Abta who are responsible and its them you need to chase for payment the only priority the government has is to make sure our people are returned home and nothing else ,
The groups who want to ban tourism are very quiet!
