    This is unfortunately a common practice at the moment with many travel firms.  

    Whilst I have not seen any specific to National Holidays, you may wish to settle down and read some of the many other threads on the same situation and look for ideas and views from those also in this boat.

    I do not know the specific circumstances here. I am not a lawyer, I am not trained in consumer issues at all. I would not be accepting their voucher offer right now. It is my view that travel companies may be legally obliged to refund you. I would wait for that to be tested, rather than rush in to take a voucher. Stick to your guns.
