Award-winning agency ceases trading
Award-winning independent travel agency Select World Travel, based in Worcestershire, is believed to have become the latest victim of the downturn in the travel market, having gone into voluntary liquidation.
On the day that all eyes were on beleaguered travel giant Thomas Cook, the Malvern agency – a finalist in TTG's High Street Agent of the Year Awards in 2011 – is believed to have ceased trading.
The Worcestershire-based business was not answering its phones this afternoon. The company is not connected to, and has never had any association with, the independent travel agency Select World Travel in Canford Cliffs, Dorset.
Select World Travel of Worcestershire was a member of TTA Worldchoice and the Association of Cruise Experts. It specialised in long-haul trips and only last week owner Lee Harrison wrote a blog from a trip to the Bahamas, hosted by the tourist board.
He declined to comment this afternoon.
