Barrhead Travel will close one of its branches after announcing it will be making redundancies as a "direct result of the impact of Covid-19".
The Glasgow-based travel agent says that customer confidence in overseas holidays had plunged and that with the end of the furlough scheme, the company has had to make "difficult decisions".
As recently as October last year, the firm was recruiting staff laid off after the collapse of Thomas Cook and planning to open as many as 100 new stores.
President Jacqueline Dobson said: "In common with many others in our industry, we are having to make difficult decisions as a direct result of the impact of Covid-19 on holidays.
"Customer confidence has been dented by the ongoing uncertainty surrounding quarantine and travel restrictions. This, combined with the imminent closure of the furlough scheme, means we have had to announce a number of redundancies.
"We will be ensuring that there is full support available for all our colleagues - personally and professionally - over the coming months."
The company said its shop in St Vincent Street, Glasgow, was at risk of closure but that staff who are based there would move to the superstore on Oswald Street.
The travel agent currently has 76 shops in Scotland, while it also has offices in Newcastle, Cumbria, Southampton, Leicester and Belfast.
