15 September 2008 - Corsican Places - Press Office

Corsican Places would like to extend its sympathies to holidaymakers who were booked to travel with XL Leisure Group, which announced that it would cease trading last Friday (12 September). XL going into administration does not affect clients travelling with Corsican Places, nor any of its sister companies, which are all part of Serenity Holidays Limited.

Now in its 21st year of operation, Corsican Places Limited is the leading specialist to Corsica, offering the largest portfolio of holiday accommodation to the UK market.
Corsican Places Limited is ATOL protected (Air Travel Organiser’s Licence Number, 2647) - 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:

“Corsican Places 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.”

Corsican Places Limited 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 Corsican Places, Serenity Holidays Ltd also owns The Gambia Experience, The Senegal Experience, The Cape Verde Experience, Turkish Places, Sardinian Places and Great Escapes.
