Hi 
We're due to go on a hen trip to liverpool in May. I know it's just over a month away but with all the developments, I'm assuming that social distancing will still be in place as well as closures of pubs etc. 
We booked through a company who are ABTA protected. My concern is whether ABTA will cover this given there is no explicit ban (yet) on UK travel. 
As I said I know this is a fast moving situation but my final payment is due & the company are not dealing with any new requests unless you're departing within the next few weeks.

    ABTA protection means that if your travel company goes out of business, you will be entitled to a refund which includes hotel costs.  Are you concerned about the travel company going out of business?
