The Civil Aviation Authority will use a consumer show this weekend to warn holidaymakers they risk wrecking their holiday and losing thousands of pounds by booking DIY packages.
People attending Destinations in Birmingham will be told they have no financial protection if they self book a trip and could be stranded overseas if an airline goes bust or lose their entire holiday.
ATOL promotion manager David Clover said: “We believe customers should be aware of the potential risks so they can make an informed choice.”
The CAA said it repatriated or refunded more than 32,000 holidaymakers in the year to March 2005 and paid out almost £10.5 million to people on ATOL bonded holidays.
