Travel Industry Regulation Consultation - Phase 2 Print E-mail

The Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General is seeking written comments on modernizing the Travel Industry Regulation with a view to maximize fairness, equity and consumer protection. 

 

The first consultation phase closed on March 3, 2008.  This second consultation phase focuses on new business models that provide travel services, including:

  • inbound tour operators providing travel services supplied by another person,
  • destination marketing organizations,
  • strata-owned hotels and vacation accommodations, and
  • vacation accommodation agents.    

Although this second phase may not apply to all licensed travel agents and wholesalers, the Ministry seeks the input of all parties who may be impacted by the Travel Industry Regulation and any future updating of it.
