Travel company enters liquidation after 28 years with all holidays cancelled

Global Vision International (GVI), a UK travel company offering nature and conservation programs, has entered liquidation after nearly 28 years, with all holidays cancelled. Based in Exeter, the operator said on its website that it is closing its doors and that CEO Andrew Valentine regrets the impact on staff, projects, and customers. The company ran programs including wildlife and marine conservation initiatives in locations such as Costa Rica and Fiji. Valentine said affected participants will receive formal correspondence detailing the liquidation process and instructions to lodge a claim, while GVI staff on the ground support participants departing its bases. The shutdown follows other UK travel failures in 2026, including Regen Central Ltd, Gold Crest Holidays, and Asiara UK Ltd, among others.
