ABTA is the UK's largest organisation that regulates travel agents and tour operators. ABTA members adhere to strict guidelines ensuring best practice and financial security. Not all travel companies are ABTA bonded.
Groupia's ABTA membership number is W7797.
ABTA bonding safeguards your money and allows ABTA to support client claims in the event of unexpected issues that might otherwise leave you facing extra costs or charged for products or service you don't receive in instances such as company failure.
The sad fact is that some travel companies are not regulated in anyway, this is more common overseas where tour groups can be left stranded or facing heavy extra fees. These instances are rare however you can be sure any ABTA bonded travel company will always have the correct procedures in place to avoid any complications or sudden hidden/unexpected fees/costs for your travel plans.
Yes and no. Yes, we would advise any travellers to be concerned enough to always book with ABTA regulated travel companies. Then no, once you have ABTA on your side then it's something you won't have to worry about.
Nothing. All Groupia travel is covered by ABTA, this is part of our commitment in providing exceptional customer service but comes at no additional cost. Busy professionals have enough to worry about, especially when overseeing so many young and often easily distracted heads, being covered by ABTA means you have one less thing to watch out for.
