UK travel company goes intro administration after 39 years with all holidays at risk
A UK travel company that sells holidays to Turkey, Greece and Portugal has entered administration after nearly four decades.
Wroxham Travel first opened in 1987 as an independent travel agency selling holidays to numerous destinations including UK staycations, short-haul trips and long-haul holidays.
The company also sold ocean and river cruise trips.
However, the Norwich-based company officially closed on October 30.
The company had two high street stores – one in Hoveton and one in Aylsham.
While the impact of the company’s closure isn’t clear, it is expected to primarily affect holidaymakers in the Norfolk and Greater Norwich areas.

The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) said in a statement: “We are sorry to inform you that Wroxham Travel has ceased trading with effect from 30 October 2026.
“We are now treating this as a financial failure.
“If you booked a holiday through Wroxham Travel, the tour operator or principal business with whom Wroxham Travel booked your holiday will be named on your paperwork (or ATOL certificate if it was a flight inclusive holiday; this would be stated on your ATOL certificate under “Who is protecting your trip”).
“To ensure your holiday can continue as planned, you will need to contact the credit control department of your tour operator or other principal travel business with whom you have a contract.
“Your booking should continue as normal, and they will be your direct point of contact.
“Please ensure that you have all your documentation with you, as they may require information from it to assist you.”
