No they don’t. ATOL is a legal requirement, so holiday companies selling flights and air holiday packages have to provide ATOL protection. ABTA is a travel trade association that has a bonding requirement for non-air holidays as a condition of membership. It also has a code of conduct covering standards of service and complaints, which members should adhere to.More information about other bonding schemes.
