It is with great sadness that we must share the difficult news that after many years of trading Barnes Worldwide Travel has ceased trading. For me personally this is one of the most difficult things that I have had to do.
I would like to thank Jane and Danielle for their many years of service and support. All our regular, loyal regular customers will be greatly missed.
Like a lot of independent travel agents, we have found trading difficult since Covid, the three years of travel restrictions left a heavy financial burden that was becoming increasingly difficult to control. The ever increasing cost overheads and the tough competition from online agents have added to this burden making it impossible to continue to trade.
Any customers with upcoming travel will be contacted shortly regarding ticketing arrangements.
For bookings further ahead, you will be contacted directly regarding moving your booking from our us to the Tour Operator.
We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience caused and please be rest assured that we will be assisting ABTA in the smooth transition of your booking ownership.
If you require further assistance, please contact ABTA on 0203 758 8730 or [email protected].
