According to CAA rules, the ATOL protection scheme does not extend to any booking
with a non UK departure point (this includes the Channel islands and the Isle
of Man). All 'multi leg' trips which travel via the UK are classed as non UK
departure.
Holiday Direct Limited use a centralised 'Trust Account' which holds your funds
until the money is paid to another body (bonded holiday suppliers). The holiday
supplier then becomes legally responsible for the protection of the funds and
for providing you with the holiday as agreed.
An independent Trustee has been appointed who authorises, in conjunction with
Holiday Direct Limited., the release of funds from the Trust Account. This is
to protect your funds in the event of financial failure of your travel agent
or Holiday Direct Limited.
In practice, this means that in the event of the financial failure of your
travel agent or Holiday Direct Limited your travel arrangements will not be
affected.
