The collapse of Lowcost Travel Group on Friday sent shockwaves through the industry.
The company didn’t offer consumer protection and around 110,000 people who have booked with the company, around two thirds of them British, face losing their money.
Around 27,000 in resorts may need to pay again to get home.
Many in the industry were quick to gloat about the company’s demise, blaming customers for taking the risk of booking with an unprotected company.
But surely the incident only highlights that much more needs to be done to educate customers about the importance of being protected.
