What sets it apart
An employed home-based model, recruited from Kuoni’s own retail staff rather than through open host recruitment.
Who it suits
Not open to newcomers — the company’s stated position is “no — internal or experienced hires”.
This is an employed, salaried role worked from home rather than a host agency you pay to join.
How customers’ money is protected
This matters to you as well as to your clients: it determines who is liable if a supplier or the company itself fails.
ABTA: Member — number not published. ABTA membership commits the company to ABTA’s code of conduct, requires it to protect customers’ money on holidays that do not include a flight, and gives customers a complaints and arbitration route.
ATOL: Held — licence number not published. An ATOL licence protects the money customers pay for package holidays that include a flight, and covers getting them home if the company fails.
ABTA and ATOL cover held by Kuoni.
Ownership and background
Kuoni UK is part of Der Touristik. This is an employment route rather than a host agency: there is no joining fee, no monthly fee and no commission split, so those columns are not applicable and are excluded from the sortable comparison.
