When Mike Spinelli, president of the American Society of Travel Agents, heads, Merrimac travel to Lowell, Massachusetts, he expressed thus:”A travel agency can not haircuts in Massachusetts, a barber, but it may open a store named nails and sailing and sale of travel.”
Mr. Spinelli is concerned by the lack of governance for a society based almost exclusively on promises and trust: people receive a brochure and write a check based on a color screen and a timetable for a year from now.
”If the money is paid for the services to be provided at a later date, download fraud,’’said Spinelli. ”It is so easy to make fraud. We are sitting on a time bomb.”
There are only 12 countries with a hint of a legal obligation for providers of travel outside their general environment of laws and several other legislators have recently made the idea of regulation and put it back quickly when it comes strong pressure on the travel industry. But Mr Spinelli predicted that in five years, there would be regulation of travel suppliers nearby.

This rule is an obstacle for the types of fraud, provides Mr. Spinelli.
Most reported cases of fraud nationally and businesses uninsured breaches participated instead the tour travel agencies, if a tour operator defaults, travel agencies lose with the consumer.
