Partner Engagement

ABTA and ATOL Protection

We are proud members of ABTA (Association of British Travel Agents) and hold ATOL (Air Travel Organiser’s Licence) certification.

• ABTA Membership: This provides financial protection and a high standard of service to our clients. As an ABTA member, we adhere to a strict Code of Conduct, ensuring we operate with integrity and transparency. Our clients can book with confidence, knowing they are covered by ABTA’s consumer protection.
• ATOL Certification: ATOL is a financial protection scheme managed by the UK Civil Aviation Authority. It protects our clients in the unlikely event of our insolvency. If you have booked a holiday with us that includes flights, your money is safe and you will not be stranded abroad. If we are unable to provide the services you have booked, you will receive a refund or be repatriated.

At UniLife Experiences, health and safety are more than just policies; they are a core part of our ethos and operations. By upholding these standards, we aim to provide safe, enjoyable, and memorable experiences for all our clients.
