Travel Agencies in Singapore under liquidation.

... Have anyone notice recently, some the travel agencies in beach road have resort to registering a second name for their business ? Are they one the verge of closing down ?

Have the travel agencies in Singapore which have gone into liquidation received incentives to do so such as compensation for the crisis in the travel industry? They can easily disappear taking your money like Century Travel, close relatives of Misa Travel, did to a friend. And there is little that CASE, NATAS, STB can do to protect consumer confidence and the reputation of the honest ones if a company has gone into liquidation stealing the consumer's money. This encourages others to do alike. They then do the same business in different companies. So be aware you might be the next innocent consumer to lose its money with a liquidation cover up. I wonder what the director of the disappeared Century Travel is doing now... |

Ask STB: Travel Agencies in Singapore under liquidation.
Has anyone ever wondered what is really wrong with the travel industry in
SINapore? First you have the a series of crisis... e-commerce melt-down, twin-towers incident, Iraq War, SARS etc... Next you have a bunch of rookies running the lead in the tourism industry - an ex-retired Army General, a medical doctor, some economy development board transferees... Then you have misplaced directives during crisises.... promote medical "tourism" and promote education "tourism" which does not really benefit the majority of the hoteliers and travel agencies in SINapore... Last you have expulsion of the old guards...More internationally expirienced and senior staff of STB who had either retired or quit from service. Meanwhile, you have a bunch of new entrants in the leading echelon of this stat board feeding each other with "good" news about "small" successes that really do not mean anything to the laymen of the industry where bread and butter matter. It is no wonder more and more companies in the travel sector are going into bankruptcies and closures. Do all these private sector failures mean much to the many chiefs in the STB? Not so... life still goes on.... "shuttlecock" wrote in message om... "zender" wrote in message ...
