And what prevents you from going to a well-known and proven TA? Or reading reviews on the Internet about this TA?
аватар travelsita
It's probably cheaper there - that's why they went there.
аватар Pachok
And how can it be cheaper there, if everyone's prices are operator's?
аватар travelsita
It's very simple - at the expense of your commission.
аватар sandra-art
the main thing is to make sure that on the day of full payment for the tour, TA begins to apply for online visas

I flew to the UAE with this firm in April. Everything was very clear and prompt, there were no complaints. I personally know the owner, helped her solve some issues with office equipment, but what actually scares you is that the company is small?

I am also a supporter when the company is small and not promoted, more informal attitude towards the client.

Recently, just large and seemingly powerful TO collapsed. Small travel agencies will not invest in risky destinations and dump on the market, they simply do not have the money for this.
So don't worry and good luck!
аватар dimdimysh
sigur62, do not confuse the concepts of "TA" and "TO". And what big TOs "collapsed"? The big ones are Coral, Pegasus and others like them. They plow all over Russia and the CIS. in the regions they didn’t know anything about them. Or they sold only 2 tours a day in the largest regions and to not very popular destinations.

Dimych, Lanta-tour, Capital-tour sold a little more than 2 tours a day.
Glad you know Coral and Pegasus, that's good, but there were others that no longer exist...
This is for you: The longer the TO works, the more financial problems it has. The liquidity gap has to be repaid with bank loans, and as soon as banks stop issuing loans secured by collateral (and what can a tour operator have as collateral, except for the personal property of the owners - business reputation, client connections, a dozen desks, etc.), tours are not paid, and then standard scenario. At the beginning - statements about temporary financial difficulties, and at the end - bankruptcy, reference to FIGs and continuation of activities under a new sign ...

The TS asked about the reliability of TA.TO, and he is not interested, he rather does not really understand what it is.
And Lanta and Capital were presented in a couple of regions of Russia with European tours. In addition, the topic is about Ukraine.

TA - travel agency
TO - Tour operator.
The travel agent is an intermediary between the TO tourist, i.e. You! therefore it is better to worry about the reliability of TO, not TA
аватар dimdimysh
Well, why? You also need to think about TA. Do you sometimes read Turdom? Periodically, infa appears that TA collected money, but the tourists did not fly anywhere and came to closed doors.
аватар travelsita
That's right, they took the money, but they didn't transfer it to the operator, they didn't transfer the data about the tourist, they didn't book the tour. The tourist, as they say, "hit". By and large, there are not so many large tour operators - there are enough fingers on the hands. There are thousands of agencies.
аватар Antaleks_Tur
dimdimysh, but be sure to read Turdom sometimes, in order to know the info about the TA, who collected the money and transferred it to TO, or what other problems happened ???
travelista, I agree with you, but when it comes to problems with TO, then dozens, hundreds of tourists have problems, and when it comes to TA, then these cases are less large-scale. And I didn’t say that you can give money to anyone, I just advised you to pay attention to MOT more)

Many thanks for the answers, especially mannes. This travel agency contacted me on its own after seeing my questions from one of the forums. Of course, it worries that it is not big, and that, having paid money, you can not fly anywhere.
аватар travelsita
Indeed, if the TO has a problem, then a chain reaction occurs.
TA can offer a tour from Teza, anex, but not pay for it. A tourist who has chosen a reliable operator will suffer. The reputation of the agency must be taken into account.
аватар Pachok
If a small TA sells a tour of a large TO that collapses :) this will not help the tourist in any way.

I flew in March 2017. Everything is fast and high quality! Well done girls! YOUR TOUR is a great company!
аватар Slava1983
We flew with friends through the company YOUR TOUR to Rome for the May holidays. The manager chose a very convenient direct flight for us according to all our wishes, found a hotel with an excellent location, advised us what to see and even gave us a guide to Rome. In general I recommend!
