UK travel company enters administration with trips cancelled

Groupia Ltd – which also trades as Groupia Golf, GoHen, StagWeb, Groupia School Trips, and Company Away Days – offers customers “the best” group travel holidays to destinations in the UK and abroad, including Prague, Split, and Barcelona.

More than 750,000 travellers have used the company since it began back in 2002, booking everything from stag and hen weekends to golf trips, team tours, and spa breaks.

Holidays cancelled as Groupia falls into administration

After 24 years in business, Groupia, which is based in Bath, has now fallen into administration.

Nigel Fox and Christopher Marsden of S&W Partners LLP were appointed joint administrators on June 16, according to the Groupia website.

It continues: “The Company has now ceased taking new bookings, and arrangements are in place with ABTOT to support customers with existing bookings.”

Which Groupia bookings have been cancelled?

Bookings on or before August 31, 2026, are expected to go ahead as planned, the Groupia website says, thanks to an arrangement with ABTOT (financial protection company).

These bookings can still be managed via Groupia’s VIP booking system.

Any holidays booked with Groupia for after September 1, 2026, have been cancelled.

Refunds are available for affected bookings through your card issuer (if you paid by credit or debit card) or by submitting an online claim to Gallagher Bassett, who act for ABTOT.

For online claims, travellers will need a booking confirmation and proof of payment.
