Consumer forum orders tour advance refund for man who had Covid-19
Ghaziabad: The consumer forum has ruled in favour of a man seeking a refund of a tour advance after contracting Covid in 2021. The forum observed that since the cancellation was due to circumstances beyond the consumer's control, the tour operator must return the advance amount and a Rs 5,000 fine within 45 days of the order. Petitioner Ishan Pratap Singh had booked a trip for his family from Mumbai to the Maldives between March 13 and 17, 2021, through Ineedtrip, a travel agency based out of Ghaziabad. Singh told the forum that he took a loan of Rs 1.4 lakh to pay a Rs 1.9 lakh advance to the company for the trip. "I had to take a RT-PCR test (a medical test to determine Covid infection) as per prevailing travel norms, and was detected positive for the infection on March 12, a day before the trip," the petitioner said, adding that he requested the travel agency to reschedule the trip for May 22 that year. However, the agency refused, stating that the free RT-PCR package was only valid until April 2021. "Eventually, I decided to opt for April 1 as the travel date, but given the pandemic and my health condition, I had to reschedule it to Nov 2021. The agent said that if the trip was not availed by Sept 2021, the hotel with which the agency had tied up would forfeit the booking amount," Singh told the forum. He added that the agency did not return the advance money, and he is still paying EMIs for the loan he took. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Что говорит о вашем характере поза, в которой вы спите!

Consequently, the consumer forum (Ghaziabad) president Praveen Kumar Jain and member RP Singh heard and passed the order ex parte. "The applicant requested an extension of the dates due to the pandemic and his health condition. The travel agency neither extended the dates nor returned the advance amount taken from the customer, which falls under the provisions of deficiency in service under the Consumer Protection Act. Accordingly, Ineedtrip is directed to pay the advance amount of Rs 1.9 lakh within 45 days of the order, with an interest of 6% from the date of the order until the final payment is made," the forum ruled. It also instructed the travel agency to pay Rs 5000 as compensation for legal costs and mental harassment to the petitioner.

Tourism dept plans international roadshows to attract tourists to Goa
Panaji: The tourism department plans to conduct international roadshows in the Gulf region, Denmark, Norway, Uzbekistan, Finland, Sweden, and Poland this year. 'These are the top countries based on social media statistics and the quantum of visitors,' said a department note. The department hopes to attract international tourists to Goa, including first-time travellers for wellness, MICE, leisure, and medical tourism. The department could tentatively spend at least Rs 4.3 crore on the roadshows, which officials say are crucial to depict Goa and India as favourable tourism destinations. As of now, the dates for the roadshows have not been announced, but the department has moved to appoint an event management agency to host the tourism roadshows. The department stated that the international roadshows help enhance Goa's 'visibility and presence' while also providing a platform for Goan tour operators, travel agents, hoteliers, and airlines to network and connect with their international counterparts. 'The target of this participation is to attract international tourists to Goa for various segments of tourism, and accordingly, the agency will have to evolve a strategy to achieve these goals,' said a department official. A six-member team from Goa is likely to participate in the international tourism roadshows. While critics, including the Travel and Tourism Association of Goa, have expressed concern about the expenditure on these roadshows, the tourism department believes that such outreach helps Goa compete with international markets. 'We need to promote Goa as a safe and world-class tourism destination to ensure a sustained flow of tourists into Goa. We will present a marketing plan for approval,' said an official. In April, the tourism department's empowered committee called for a rethink on the department's participation in roadshows and expos, particularly in foreign countries. The department's top officials agreed to 'restructure and streamline' roadshows and trade shows — both domestic and international — based on a cost-benefit analysis. At that time, the tourism department said that participation in trade expos and roadshows 'must be aligned with clear performance benchmarks and measurable outcomes' so that govt funds were efficiently utilised.
