What financial protection is there when I book with Gemstone Travel
As members of the Travel Trust Association (TTA) all the monies you pay to us are held in a trust account and can only release to the suppliers upon their request. This means that if we fail as a business, your money is 100% protected. You can check our TTA membership here. https://www.thetravelnetworkgroup.co.uk/verify_member
What does ATOL mean for me?
Booking a holiday that includes flights comes with ATOL protection — a safety net that ensures you’re covered if your travel operator stops trading. At Gemstone Travel, every holiday that includes flights comes with an ATOL certificate, giving you peace of mind that your trip, money, and flights are protected.
Think of it as travel security for your investment — so you can focus on planning experiences, not worrying about what-ifs. Keep your certificate with you on your trip; it also includes instructions on how to make a claim if needed.
Important: ATOL protects your booking, but it does not replace travel insurance, which is still recommended for health, luggage, and activity coverage.
For more details, see the CAA guide to ATOL.
