Thomas Cook-owned Hotels4u has quit ABTA after the association changed its rules regarding bedbanks.
This means that hotels4u.com and medhotels.com brands are no longer members of the association
Sales and marketing director Teresa Walsh said: "We can confirm that Hotels4u has resigned from ABTA with immediate effect.
“We feel that ABTA membership is now incompatible with our current trading model.”
Thomas Cook Group government and external affairs director Andy Cooper said: ”The Thomas Cook UK & Ireland business remains 100 per cent committed to remaining an ABTA member, providing it continues to offer good value to its members.”
