HOLIDAYMAKERS are facing more misery, with experts predicting that up to 20 more tour operators will go bust.

On tripadvisor they conducted a poll which asked:
Has the recent collapse of another British travel firm made you nervous about booking with less well-known travel companies?
91% voted yes.
With holiday makers increasingly being concerned about the risk of booking with small tour operators the likelihood is that they will be shunned and this will speed up their decline.
I have booked with travelrepublic (and sorted out the whole package myself) a few times in the past, but this year I was concerned about using them again because of the recession and went with Thomas Cook. I'm now glad that I aired on the side of caution and spent a bit more for the peace of mind.
