Just read the the Low Cost Travel group has ceased trading.
They also go under the names of;
1.Lowcosttravelgroup Ltd
2.lowcostholidays Spain S.L.
3.Hoteling.com part of Lowcostholidays Spain S.L.
4.Lowcostbeds.com A.G.
Hope nobody has booked with any of these companies
With more and more companies ceasing trading we are soon goin to be left with little choice of who we all book holidays with

Sad news - and they reckon up to 140,000 holidaymakers could be affected. In fact, there could be people affected who don't even realise it yet - as Low Cost Beds were used by many third-party booking sites such as Travel Republic and so on. I've been in the same situation a few years back and it's not nice at all...

I rang the
ICR number and spoke briefly to JT.
He had only heard the news himself and had a bit of sorting to do.
Did promise to phone me back

Woooo now that has been a hectic few hours
Again another giant company goes under and by this rate Icmeleronline/ICR Travel will be the only Turkish specialist left
Everyone who is due to come to Turkey in the next week or so and booked with Icmeleronline/ICR Travel with lowcost, being the supplier, your bookings will be honoured/covered by us.
Everyone who booked with us via Lowcost being the supplier due to arrive before the season ends will also be honoured/covered by us at Icmeleronline/ICR Travel
We will be making necessary arrangements so that not one of our customers shall be affected due to such awful news.
All customers of ours due with future bookings will be contacted personally by our team on duty.
If anyone is affected by Lowcost going under in any way, in resort or for a future booking, then of course you can book direct with us without any fears and will all be in safe hands.
For those non-icr customers in resort and need help, feel free to visit our office before 7pm and we will do our best to help you.

Never had anything like the past 12 months
Its crazy and what hurts is it is always the same time of year they go under when most balances have just been paid to them (we also got caught in that an hour before they went under)
