Big Four give in to OFT demands

THE BIG Four tour operators have all bowed to pressure from the Office of Fair Trading and supplied it with information on cancellation charges.

The OFT gave companies two weeks to provide data or face legal action. Despite doubts that they have a duty to comply, Thomson, Airtours, First Choice and JMC have all reluctantly gathered information.

A Federation of Tour Operators spokesman said the tour operator data would reinforce information it supplied showing cancellation charges are fair and reasonable.
