German subsidiary Thomas Cook, which suffered from the bankruptcy of its British parent company, filed for bankruptcy on September 25 last year. The company canceled all booked trips, even those that had already been paid for – in whole or in part.
The federal government in December decided to reimburse injured tourists for some of the costs that were not covered by insurance companies. However, the condition for compensation is a timely demand for payment, sent to the insolvency manager Thomas Cook and to the insurance company.
