The Villa Collection is raising the level of packages it can offer through an upgraded Atol.

The licence has moved from ‘small business’ to ‘standard’ to enable the company to increase the number of passengers it can package.

Director Gemma Lewis said: “Demand for our products amongst the trade continues to grow and 90% of our business continues to be from our agent partners.

“As well as continuing to offer accommodation-only, we are also thrilled to have upgraded our Atop to a full standard licence in order to meet the demand for package bookings.”

Agents also have the chance to win a £100 bonus per month for bookings made in August, September and October via the operators’ rewards programme, which pays additional cash payments on top of commission on every booking logged.

The company is “busy” expanding its team and adding more properties and new destinations to a portfolio, which features more than 1,200 properties.
