Monday, 26 Jan, 2026 0

After 30 years in business, Yorkshire based Gold Crest Holidays has closed down.

It is now in voluntary liquidation.

It made the announcement to customers on its website.

“We are deeply saddened to announce that Gold Crest Holidays has ceased trading with immediate effect and has taken steps to enter voluntary liquidation,” it said.

“This difficult decision follows the severe impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, strategic changes in key partner arrangements, and a challenging trading environment with significantly rising costs.”

“We are immensely grateful to our loyal customers, travel agents, suppliers, and dedicated staff for your support over the years.”

Gold Crest was focused on Paris city break coach holidays and Disneyland Paris, as well as sports events and festive markets.

It says all bookings for future travel have been cancelled.

“If you are holding tickets for certain events these may still be valid and you can contact the event organisers to check this.”

“The ABTA bond provides protection. ABTA will handle refunds and assistance.”
