Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 3 Nov, 09:31 · Archive

Wroxham Travel, a Norwich-based independent travel agency, ceased trading on 30 October after 39 years in business.

Wroxham Travel, an independent travel agency based in Norwich, ceased trading on 30 October after 39 years in business. The company operated two additional offices in Hoveton and Aylsham and offered holiday packages to destinations including Turkey, Greece and Portugal.

ABTA, the travel association, is treating the closure as a financial failure. Customers who booked through Wroxham Travel have been urged to take immediate action to protect their holiday bookings, or risk losing them.

ABTA advised affected travellers to check their booking documents to identify the tour operator or principal business through which Wroxham Travel made the booking. For flight-inclusive holidays, this information will be listed on the ATOL certificate under 'Who is protecting your trip'.

Customers are being asked to contact the credit control department of their tour operator or other principal travel business with whom they have a contract. ABTA said: 'Your booking should continue as normal, and they will be your direct point of contact. Please ensure that you have all your documentation with you, as they may require information from it to assist you.'

The closure of Wroxham Travel is one of several travel industry failures in 2026. Wayfairer Travel Limited has suspended all services 'until further notice' as it looks to appoint an administrator. Four UK airlines have also fallen into administration or liquidation during the same period.
