A UK travel company known for selling trips to Disneyland has shut down.
The UK travel company based in Glasgow, Simply Florida Travel Ltd, sold bucket list adventures to North America amongst other destinations.
Customers now face their dream holidays to destinations such as Universal Studios, New York City, Toronto, Niagara Falls and Miami being cancelled.
The company was dissolved on January 6 and ceased trading as an ATOL-protected provider on January 20.
This came after the travel agency filed to be removed from the register on October 13 last year, according to Companies House.
The UK’s financial protection programme for British travellers, ATOL, Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing scheme confirmed that Simply Florida Travel operated under a franchise agreement with The Travel Trust Association (TTA).
Holiday makers who have had their plans ruined by this news have been advised to contact TTA directly to organise any refunds they may be owed.’
Simply Florida Travel Ltd’s website no longer exists, although their social media channels are still active.
The company joins a growing list of UK travel companies collapsing.
Just last month Regen Central Ltd, founded in 2011 in Hertfordshire went bust too.
The package holiday company ran packages to Italy, Bali, and Thailand, as well as the Middle East, including Dubai and Saudi Arabia.
It is understood by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) that Regen Central Ltd had no outstanding ATOL-protected bookings.
However, it did say that bookings sold as flight only, accommodation only and non-flight packages are not protected by the ATOL scheme.
Customers who booked invalid travel packages were asked to wait patiently until the agency provides information on how to submit refund claims.
