Blackburn-based music and dance holiday specialist Enjoy Travel shut up shop on Friday (8 May) according to the CAA.

The business, Atol 6227, traded under the names Enjoy Travel and Costa Del Folk, and operated enjoytravel.co.uk and costadelfolk.co.uk.

"The savage destruction meted out to the travel and entertainment industries is without parallel and Enjoy Travel is totally immersed in both," said the operator in a statement posted to its website.

"This means the future of the company is now untenable and following professional advice, the decision has been taken to cease trading on Friday 8 May.

"As a fully licensed and bonded tour operator, anyone with a booking for a recently cancelled event or a future event will be reimbursed."

Clients with outstanding bookings will be contacted by the CAA in the coming weeks to discuss their options.

Those with land packages can claim under the operator’s International Passenger Protection.

The CAA confirmed it was collating information and would email customers with Atol-protected bookings with details of how they can make a claim.
