Here’s Travel Gossip’s round-up of the things we learned in the travel industry this week:

1 The Lyne Barlow con is affecting PROPER agents who just want to send their clients on nice holidays – not steal their hard-earned cash.

2 Families are AGAIN warned of disruption during the school holidays.

3 10 weeks to get a passport. Didn’t they say that last year?

4 Travel companies have stepped up once more when it matters – this time following the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.

5 We’re still getting reports of booming sales. Keep ‘em coming.
