How Protected Trust Services Support So Many Different Members

At Protected Trust Services (PTS) supporting our members is about providing all the tools you could need to build and grow your business independently. Whether you are a new business, a standing one, a tour operator, travel agent, or homeworker. Whether you are high street or at home, our goal is consistently, to help you stand on your own two feet and continue to grow.

The PTS Toolkit

Think of PTS as a toolkit you’ve just bought. Inside is a treasure trove of shiny new tools for any situation you could ever conceive of. Perhaps you just bought us to fix a shelf. Maybe you just bought us for the selection of screwdrivers. Perhaps you bought us for the whole selection. You know you’re probably not going to use everything (at least not always as intended), but the tools aren’t going to push themselves are you either.

With PTS, that is how we like to view our support. We provide members with the most diverse and trusted set of tools they could need, at an affordable price, and all they have to do is pick the ones that fit their business vision!

If your travel business just needs a trusted and well-run method of financial protection, you can take advantage of the PTS trust account without us hovering over you asking why you’re not using the consumer itineraries. If you’d like to apply for your franchise ATOL and you already have a software system that works for you, we can make PTS easy for you.

The support of our system, tools, and expert staff is all created and constantly evolving to ensure this. From the moment a business applies, our support is at a member’s disposal so that you can create exactly the travel business you want, without being restricted or needing to worry about the protection and foundation PTS provides.

Support For New Members
