As 150,000 holidaymakers wait to go home to the UK and around 600,000 are affected worldwide, it is worth championing and defending the lifeblood of our industry…
The Travel Agent.
We owe a huge debt to Thomas Cook who 178 years ago launched the package holiday.
His company though has been liquidated because it cannot fill the £200m gap in its finances.
Which means that 20,000 jobs are at risk and your holiday may have been cancelled.
And so then, some help from one of our holiday providers.
You’re on holiday
If you are in a resort and your booking was made with Thomas Cook through American Holidays, your booking will continue as planned.
AH’s local office in North America will get in contact with you directly (local time).
Or if you want to contact them you can call +1 888 345 5252.
You have a booking
You may be able to continue as planned with little or no additional cost.
So you should call the Belfast office on 028 90 511871 or Dublin on 1 433 1060.
Give the name in which the booking has been made in and your departure date handy.
