Rostourism removed nine companies from the tour operator register for failing to provide financial guarantees for a new term, and one tour operator was removed due to cessation of operations. The corresponding order was published on the agency's website on September 19.
So, "Due to failure to provide information on the availability of financial security for a new term, 9 companies left the register": Hello Tours, Oblako, Tour Operator GEO-TOUR, Stories of Siberia, VL-TRAVEL, Patriarch's House Tours, Happy Vacation, VOYAGE PLUS, and My Agent.
In turn, the tour operator "CSD" was excluded due to the cessation of operations.
Observers note that the list of companies excluded from the register includes “My Agent”.
"Some time ago, My Agent joined the Register of Tour Operators. Due to the significant growth of our partner network, this step was prompted by frequent inquiries from travel agencies that were new to the service. However, over time, the market and partners realized that a license was unnecessary. My Agent does not package services into tours, and the existing agreement between the companies allows the agent to purchase individual tour services. Therefore, at this stage, we have decided not to renew our membership in the Register of Tour Operators," Anna Filippova, Director of the Promotion and Development Department at My Agent LLC, explained to TRN.
