What sets it apart

Co-op brand trust; marketed as “in partnership with Your Co-op”.

Who it suits

The company does not publish whether it accepts people who are new to travel.

You work self-employed under the host’s licences and bonding, and keep an agreed share of the commission you earn.

How customers’ money is protected

This matters to you as well as to your clients: it determines who is liable if a supplier or the company itself fails.

ABTA: G9172. ABTA membership commits the company to ABTA’s code of conduct, requires it to protect customers’ money on holidays that do not include a flight, and gives customers a complaints and arbitration route.

ATOL: Held — licence number not published. An ATOL licence protects the money customers pay for package holidays that include a flight, and covers getting them home if the company fails.

ABTA membership G9172 and ATOL cover.
