A TRAVEL company has gone into administration – resulting in all holidays currently stopped.
Some Brits have even said they’ve been left ‘stranded’ with plans cancelled at the last minute.
Wayfairer Travel Limited is a luxury travel company which specialises in specially made packages to destinations like Maldives, Japan, Peru and Namibia.
However after almost 15 years since it was founded, the company has been forced to suspend all services “until further notice”.
A spokesperson for Wayfairer Travel said: “We are truly sorry for the concern and uncertainty caused by the current situation. Wayfairer Travel has currently suspended all services until further notice.
“At this stage, we are unable to provide further information until we have received the appropriate accounting and legal advice.
“These discussions are currently under way, and we expect to provide a formal update during the week commencing 31 August.
“We appreciate your patience and sincerely apologise that we cannot provide greater clarity at this time.”
Some customers currently on trips or with bookings have complained that they have been left without any information.
A few hours ago on Trustpilot, one customer said that Wayfairer has left them “stranded in Botswana”.
He explained how he and his parents were on a safari when they were informed that Wayfairer “failed to pay any bills associated with our itinerary.”
He continued: “We are currently trying to complete our vacation out of pocket with no word from Wayfairer or offer of refund or compensation.”
On Google Reviews one woman wrote yesterday that the company cancelled their trip to Japan at the last minute.
She said: “They released all of our bookings and reservations, and advised that we contact our travel insurance. We have heard that they went out of business but that was not confirmed.”
Another said two days ago how Wayfairer Travel had “cancelled arrangements four days prior to the trip”.
Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust (ABTOT) said it has been told that Wayfairer is “unable to continue trading and is taking steps to appoint an administrator”.
ABTOT has advised costumers not to travel if they have booked a holiday with Wayfairer Travel on or before September 30.
If travelling later than this date, it has said to wait for further information.
