A travel agent has issued a statement after a tour operator has filed for insolvency.

loveholidays took to social media to announce that FTI Group - which is one of Europe's largest travel operators - has filed for insolvency.

FTI Group is the parent company of loveholidays partners Youtravel and Meeting Point.

Following the news, the travel agent has said that a 'small portion' of its customers' accommodation and transfer arrangements may be affected.

They have also said they are aware of a 'small number of hotels' asking customers to pay for their rooms again.

However, loveholidays has said they are 'committed' to covering the costs and are working with affected holidaymakers and the hotels involved.

The firm has revealed they are also 'working hard' to honour any bookings that may be affected.

Meanwhile, travellers on holiday who may need support are being urged to contact the travel agent's Holiday Support Team.

In the Facebook post, loveholidays said: "Earlier this week the FTI Group, the parent company of our partners Youtravel and Meeting Point, filed for insolvency.
