With the help of the industry’s ATOL fund many will now be back on UK soil this week.

The move has been welcomed but there is pressure growing on the government to explain why, despite requests by industry leaders, a full protection package was not put in place. This argument relates to those who paid by cash or organised the deals themselves on the internet, many of whom are not covered by the ATOL protection scheme.
