Package Travel Regulations (PTR)

Whatever lies ahead, we’re right behind you.

The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations (PTRs) were put in place to protect consumer funds against insolvency, but they can often be confusing or stressful to comply on the part of the travel business. Many things could cause a misunderstanding or issue with the PTRs if the travel business doesn’t have full knowledge of the regulations, but ingraining that information I can feel like a hassle and incredibly taxing. Sometimes you just need an expert to ensure that your business is compliant so you can focus on the holidays…

The importance of PTR compliance.

Complying with the PTRs is vital for any UK travel business. That doesn’t mean you have to expend a lot of time becoming an expert on each legislation involved. While it is necessary and will protect your customers, compliance doesn’t need to be time-consuming or mentally costly. That is where PTS steps in to ensure each and every member is fully Package Travel Regulations compliant without causing that member a load of extra stress. It is for this reason that PTS also partners with Travlaw, legal travel experts that are available to help your business stay on steady ground.

Why Should Travel Companies Be PTR Compliant?

Legally, all travel companies, travel agents, and tour operators are required to comply with the Package Travel Regulations to provide consumer protection. This means:

UK and international travel must be covered
Domestic travel and ground-based travel (packages without flights) are also required to be protected. If you are selling flights, you must have an ATOL
All consumers should be aware of how their monies are protected before booking
Preventing fraud and ensuring consumer protection in travel is highly important and a legal requirement
