12 September 2008 - The Cape Verde Experience - Press Office
The Cape Verde Experience would like to extend its sympathies to holidaymakers who were booked to travel with XL Leisure Group, which announced that it would cease trading as of today (12 September). XL going into administration does not affect clients travelling with The Cape Verde Experience, nor any of its sister companies, which are all part of Serenity Holidays Limited.
Serenity Holidays Limited has been in business for 21 years and The Cape Verde Experience, launched in 2006, has already established itself as the island-hopping specialist, building on the West African expertise demonstrated by leading tour operator to The Gambia, The Gambia Experience (also owned by Serenity Holidays Ltd).
The Cape Verde Experience, through Serenity Holidays Ltd, is ATOL protected (Air Travel Organiser’s Licence Number, 1866) - an accreditation administered by the Civil Aviation Authority, which gives clients security and reassurance when booking a package holiday.
Chris Ayling, Serenity Holidays director said:
“Serenity Holidays is an experienced tour operator that is fully bonded to ensure peace of mind when booking a package holiday. My message to the public would be that if you do choose to book your flights, accommodation and transfers separately, then check now to ascertain if you are covered financially.”
Serenity Holidays Ltd is also a member of AITO, The Association of Independent Tour Operators and ABTA, The Association of British Travel Agents. Both maintain strict guidelines for membership.
As well as The Cape Verde Experience, Serenity Holidays Ltd also owns The Gambia Experience, The Senegal Experience, Turkish Places, Corsican Places, Sardinian Places and Great Escapes.
