p>Further to the announcement of the collapse of Goldtrail Travel ltd on Friday July 16 Olympic Holidays says that it deeply regrets the effect on passengers already overseas with Goldtrail Travel group of companies or due to travel over the forthcoming summer holidays period. The operator says that it is a sad commentary on the state of the industry, that again there is another collapse in a 12-month period that has seen a number of other companies fail, causing disruption to people?s holiday.
This demonstrates the importance of dealing with financially stable companies and ensuring that holidays, flight-only and accommodation bookings are fully protected.
The company says that it is happy to assist by accepting bookings, with an assignment of CAA claims, from clients of the following Goldtrail Travel ltd. Companies, Goldtrail Holidays, Goldtrail Travel and Sunmar.
Agents can either download the claims form direct from the CAA Website or see www.olympicholidays.com, click on ?ATOL Protection? then under the first paragraph, click the link to the ATOL Claim Form download. If you do not have access to either Website then please contact Olympic's agency sales and they will email a copy.
