The (possible) bankruptcy of FTI will not have escaped anyone’s notice in the industry. One of the largest European travel companies that has to stop its activities just before the high season. Because FTI is primarily a German organisation, the effects on the Dutch market are somewhat more limited. It is striking that many Dutch travel agents use FTI’s individual products, in addition to the regular package holidays that do fall under the GSC exemption scheme, in their self-composed packages for their customers. These self-composed packages do not fall under the exemption scheme and for that you are immediately a tour operator with all the associated emoluments. The positive aspects of this, earning a little more and possibly some extra flexibility, always do well in their own app groups, but the downsides are far too often left unexposed, in my opinion. In particular, the often enormous financial risks for the travel agent and the tour operator’s liability, including in the event of complaints and the like, are usually not discussed. It seems as if the narrative is only one’s own daily revenue. While there are plenty of Dutch travel organizations with maximum flexibility and, above all, certainty with whom you can really put together an excellent offer for your customers. Especially after corona, many customers are sensitive to the reliability of the offer and the certainties in their reservation. In my opinion, travel agents can make optimal use of this in their sales strategy. For UStravel.nl | Canadatravel.nl any case, these are the fixed values in our offer.
