Heading into the busy March Break, spring, and summer travel seasons, the Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO) says it has been reminding consumers of the benefits and consumer protection available when booking with a TICO registered travel agency, booking website or tour operator.
As part of its efforts, TICO has partnered with media organizations and prominent Ontario-based social media creators to spread this message to diverse audiences.
TICO is encouraging members to share these resources on their own social media accounts, or via email to clients:
