Booking with Golf Options offers you 100% financial protection.

The Travel Trust Association

The Travel Trust Association is a trade association of Travel Agents, Tour Operators and Travel Organisers, that operate trust accounts, in order to provide financial protection for the consumer. The TTA lays down strict guidelines on how customer funds may be handled and each member (Golf Options are members) must adhere to these guidelines.

Every TTA member puts customer’s funds in to a designated trust account, which is supervised by an independent trustee. The trustee is a Banker, Chartered Accountant, or Solicitor.

Your funds are held in this account and may not be released unless you receive your holiday or your funds are released to another company that becomes responsible and provides for your financial protection.

ATOL

ATOL is a financial protection scheme managed by the Civil Aviation Authority (“CAA”).

All travel companies selling air holiday packages and flights in the UK are required by law to hold a licence called an Air Travel Organiser’s Licence (“ATOL”), which is granted after the company has met the CAA’s licensing.

In the event of an ATOL holder’s failure, the ATOL Scheme ensures customers who paid and contracted with the ATOL holder for an air holiday package or flight, do not lose the money paid over or are not stranded abroad.

Golf Options ATOL No. is T7367, for further information visit www.atol.org.uk.
