InteleTravel secures ATOL licence
Homeworking firm InteleTravel has been granted an ATOL licence, enabling its 10,500 UK agents to package their own holidays.
Gaining an ATOL is another major step forward for InteleTravel, which was established in the US over 30 years ago, before obtaining its ABTA membership in the UK in March 2019.
InteleTravel has a large inventory of hotels in its back office and agents can use this resource to create packages with flights for their clients.
It has an initial license to sell £4m worth of revenues through packages, and the remainder through its existing ATOL-protected Preferred Partners.
Before selling packages, existing InteleTravel agents will need to pass a test and receive a certificate to prove they have an in-depth understanding of their obligations, including the ATOL requirements for social media, advertising and promotions, before offering packages.
New agents will have ATOL training as part of the on-boarding process.
InteleTravel said it will monitor the sales of packaged holidays over the coming months before considering launching its own tour operation.
“The granting of an ATOL is a major milestone for us and something that we have been working towards and preparing for, since before the pandemic,” said UK director Tricia Handley-Hughes.
“We have demonstrated our robustness as a business and even through the pandemic, our revenues have risen 70% compared with the same period in 2019.
“During the pandemic, we’ve grown rapidly and focussed on training and education for our agents.”
