Norfolk travel agency Wroxham Travel collapses after 39 years

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 4 Nov, 12:57 · Archive

Wroxham Travel, a Norfolk-based independent travel agency operating since 1987, has entered administration.

Wroxham Travel, an independent travel agency based in Norfolk, has entered administration after 39 years in business. The firm, which opened in 1987, ceased trading on 30 October. It offered holidays ranging from European short breaks to longer trips to destinations including Greece, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Bali, Mauritius and Thailand, as well as cruises, safaris and rail tours.

The company operated two offices in Hoveton and Aylsham, both in Norfolk, and also sold holidays through email and phone. The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) described the closure as a 'financial failure'.

Customers affected by the collapse have been advised by ABTA to check their booking paperwork to identify the tour operator or principal travel business that actually arranged their holiday. They should then contact the credit control department of that organisation directly to ensure their trips continue as planned, rather than dealing with Wroxham Travel.
