VZR Garant, the guarantee fund for smaller and medium-sized travel companies, has welcomed its 300th participant with country specialist Barrio Life. “This milestone underlines the continued growth of VZR Garant and the confidence that the travel industry has in this guarantee fund,” VZR said in a statement. Barrio Life, a specialist in travel to Morocco, Portugal, and Spain, chose VZR Garant after its growth and the need to switch from the GGTO guarantee fund. This decision, prompted by exceeding the turnover limit of 1 million euros, reflects the flexibility and personal approach that VZR Garant offers as an alternative guarantee fund. Nick Wevers, co-owner of Barrio Life, emphasizes the efficient and personal approach as decisive factors for their choice. “The switch to VZR Garant was the right decision for us. VZR Garant just fits like a glove. The turnaround time was also much more favourable.’ Thiemo Hollering, director of VZR Garant, sees the entry of Barrio Life as confirmation of the attractiveness of and appreciation for the guarantee fund within the travel industry.
“We are proud of this growth and remain committed to providing an efficient and solid guarantee fund for travel companies.” For more background information about the collaboration, read the full article on the VZR Garant website.Photo: Barrio Life’s Barcelona office, with Nick Wevers on the left.
