A statement on their site states that the lowcosttravelgroup (“LCTG”) ceased to trade on 15 July 2016, following exhaustive attempts by the group’s directors to rescue the group, which has been hampered by the recent and ongoing turbulent financial environment.

This unfortunate news comes just before the schools break up for summer and thousands of families jet off for their holidays.

Customers who have booked with the Lowcosttravelgroup Ltd, Hoteling.com, Lowcostholidays Spain and Lowcostbeds.com will be directly affected by the collapse.

The following advice has been released by the group:
