This development comes as a devastating blow to UK tourists, particularly gap year students who had eagerly booked programs through the Exeter-based firm. GVI specialized in offering immersive experiences to school leavers and young adults seeking hands-on volunteering opportunities across the globe. Unfortunately, the company’s liquidation means that all current and future bookings have been cancelled, with participants facing significant financial losses.
