The best of your letters, comments and social media this week Refunds: Government should be lender of last resort


Story: Kuoni boss highlights Danish solution to refunds dilemma A simpler solution is for the government to act as a lender of last resort. It could meet the refund costs by


issuing a state-backed voucher/credit note for every Atol-protected holiday due by the end of April. This would give operators breathing space and allow the government to reclaim from operators over a period of time. So, effectively an enforced loan to the operator but paid directly to affected consumers.

Credit: Freeze prices


Story: Relief on refunds on the way If refunds are suspended it should be on the condition that the price is frozen for 18 months. Credit is useless if it doesn’t cover the same or a similar holiday in the future.
