Calypso Collapse a reminder to only Book with ATAS-Accredited Businesses

This advisory comes in the wake of the collapse of tour operator Calypso Destinations, which has reportedly left Sydney parents, coaches, and junior cricket players out of pocket, reportedly to the tune of $1 million.

Tour operator Calypso Destinations was not ATAS accredited.


ABOUT ATAS:

ATAS, the travel sector’s prestigious accreditation program, sets the highest industry benchmarks and distinguishes exemplary travel businesses.

ATAS accreditation is contingent upon stringent criteria, including an in-depth analysis of business models, compliance with Australian Consumer Law, indemnity insurance verification, workforce qualification standards, annual financial reviews, daily director checks, and a robust consumer complaints program.

Consumers are encouraged to always look for the ATAS seal when booking travel to ensure they are dealing with a reputable and reliable provider for their travel.


QUOTES ATTRIBUTABLE TO ATIA CEO DEAN LONG:

“The unfortunate situation with Calypso Destinations serves as a reminder of why it’s crucial to look for the ATAS seal when booking travel. ATAS accreditation means that the business has undergone rigorous financial reviews and meets strict industry criteria designed to safeguard your travel plans.”

“Always choose an ATAS-accredited business to protect your travel investment and enjoy peace of mind.”
