WSH Travel (Winter Sunshine Holidays) ???

braesideman

WSH Travel's website is no longer accepting payments for holidays. Nor does it offer any accommodation anywhere in the world. They're supposedly on holiday until 12/1/2009 (which is odd in itself) so it's not possible to contact them. I am due to go on holiday next week so I'm starting to get worried.

Anybody know anything about their current status? They haven't gone down the pan have they?

I would be worried yeah

They aint showing any ABTA on there site

who are you flying with???

braesideman

EasyJet. Paid for holiday with credit card so should be ok money wise if the worst comes to the worst.

delwynshd

your flights will be cool then

Have you got your hotel voucher?

Transfer vouchers?

Del

braesideman

Yeah, have hotel confirmation voucher, does that guarantee anything?

Transfer is by private taxi - no problems there.

Cheers.

I have a booking with WSH Travel in March and have paid a deposit. I have used them before on several occasions and found them to be good, but the present situation of being unable to book holidays, pay accounts and be unavailable by phone at what is deemed to be a busy time for holiday bookings has all the hallmarks of a company in serious troiuble. I would be very surprised to see them up and running as normal on 12th and would certainly be nervous about paying them any more money!

delwynshd

i suggest you dont pay them anything

its not normal for a company to be away from the phones for that amount of time

Its a busy month for us, we would lose thousands if we shut our doors

I think they have gone down myself, they aint got no ABTA number on ther site, If you have low cost airlines booked with them your flights will be secure if your hotels are booked seperate you may run into problems, they might not have paid the suppliers

I have a town house booked for the first two weeks in march. I contacted Welcome homes centre who are part of Hotbeds in Orlando yesterday, they said they have not had any indication of problems and my accomodation was still ok. But I feel that the company may well be in trouble. The site states the money is held in a account not available to the company untill you book into your accomadation, it talks about trust account held by lloyds anyone any ideas.

Do you think the company in Orlando will deal direct as they will be sitting on vacant property if my booking did not take place.

This holiday is not going very well I lost 4 flights to the XL collapse rebooked with virgin waiting for my deposit back now this!!!

Hi just had to register after reading the previous posts - new to all this forum posting but am in the same position as braesideman

Booked in November and paid in full due to travel in February. I have accommodation voucher which seems to imply that the service is supplied and paid by Jumbo tours. Have contacted Jumbo Tours but have not yet received a reply.

Any idea whether all will be ok if I have the accommodation voucher.

Have booked through this company may times with no problems.

I've just had word from the Rialto Hotel in Benidorm to say that they haven't received any payments from WSH Travel for our booking for 2 rooms for 24 days commencing this Sunday and that the booking was cancelled. I'm trying to find out exctly when it was cancelled.
Just hope the credit card covers it.

Oh i hope all is ok, i've used them quite a few times and have always found them to be fine.
