Additional Atol-protected sales are licensed by the company. The total number of Atol licence numbers for Marella Cruises and Tui UK is over 5 million.
In a show of confidence in the UK market, the big two anticipate carrying more than 11 million Atol-protected tourists over the coming winter and summer.
The top five licence holders are: On the Beach with an Atol for 1,863,023 sales, We Love Holidays with 1,854,038, easyJet Holidays with 1,294,465, and The licence of On the Beach has increased by more than 600,000 compared to the Atol it held for summer 2020.
