TheSeafarerA new survey conducted on a number of tour operators, hotels, and car hire firms has reported that the tourists all over the world are cheated into paying a huge sum in the name of travel by many travel organizations
The report also confirmed that the costly telephone contact numbers, 'hidden' extras and 'free' agreements including payments are few of the expenses imposed on travellers by these travel organizations.
This study proved that almost 30 % of these travel companies utilized the two most expensive premium rate telephone lines and nearly 43 % add inevitable bookings fees to the customers who prefer to make payments by card.
