Agents nervous more shops will shut

Travel agents fear more shop closures after Thomas Cook revealed that it was shutting a further 17 shops last month.

The retailer had already announced it was closing 39 shops in February.

There was also a spate of store closures last year, starting with 12 in April and a further 28 in October.

When asked in a TravelMole poll if they thought more shops would close, 56% of respondents said yes.
