A major British travel company is shutting it doors with all holidays booked via its service set to be cancelled in a blow to holidaymakers.
Balkan Holidays, which has operated for nearly 60 years, is closing down just before the summer holiday season.
Current holidaymakers currently will be able to complete their vacations, but with upcoming bookings will instead be made to accept refunds.
This will likely leave families with set holiday plans looking for last minute routes for their destinations.
