- Well yes, I think there is a gap and always willing to think of new ventures ! I haven't looked at IPP yet but will

Bettina Schwarz said… - So you’ve come across a market gap, have you? Fancy a new venture? Pan European financial failure protection on a flexible pay-as-you-go basis for small and start-up Tour Operators!! Yes – I can see it. Needs a company with presence across Europe though to make it practically viable.
I do not know what IPP’s stance regarding territorial limits is. Have you had a look there?
