ATOL Clients' Understanding of Sales
An ARA must understand how an ATOL client reports sales. An ARA needs to understand what constitutes a package and how it is managed and measured to provide an AAR Part 1. The consumer can either have one contract for all their travel services that are part of the package or they can have more than one contract for all their travel services that are part of the package.

The ARA Scheme
The ARA scheme was developed by the CAA to help improve the standard of reporting and to provide assurance that any financial information submitted to it is accurate. The scheme was designed to make accountants aware of the specific requirements of the scheme.
ATOL: Air Travel Organisers' Licensing
Air travel Organisers' Licensing is called ATOL. It was first introduced in 1973. The government took steps to make sure consumers were covered if a travel company went under.
The travel companies contribute to the scheme. AnATOL license makes sure that the customers are looked after if a company lets them down by not giving them a holiday. It can provide refunds or guarantee people will be able to return.
Check. The logo of the travel company is on websites. Ask your travel company or agent for clarification if you are not sure.
Monarch LTA Customer Protection
Reports suggest that less than half of Monarch customers were protected. Unless those customers can call their payment provider, they are likely to be left out of pocket. Customers will only be given refunds for the component of the LTA if the provider fails. The Government will be able to create a separate trust to hold LTA levies to reduce the risk to the ATTF.
