Hi Kevin here is all the information regarding ATOL :-

Thanks Glynis

ive looked at the regulations already, which are a bit of a mine field. Was basically curious if anyone had experienced the whole inbound from outside of the EU scenario?

from what I can see, we don't need ATOL?

May just get in touch with them.

Cheers
Kevin

You need to take specialist advice about whether you are legally required to have an ATOL licence but my understanding is that if your business is based in the UK then you might well need one because it looks to me as if it depends on where the business is based and not where clients are flying from. For example, a friend runs a specialist travel company and has some clients who use her services, booking flights and accommodation through her, that never set foot in the UK. She has an ATOL certificate and her website suggests to me that she issues them with ATOL certificates even if they are flying direct between 2 other countries and never setting foot in the UK.

On the other hand, if you aren't based in the UK then you do also need to check the regulations of the country where your business is based. And you also need to think about what happens to these customers if you don't have an ATOL licence and hence no protection for them in the event of either your business or the airline going down. At the very least I would think that morally if you don't have an ATOL licence or similar offering them that protection then you need to make it clear to all parties that if something goes wrong then they are out of pocket and on their own.
