When you use an Irish licensed Travel Agent or Tour Operator, you are using a company that is regulated by the Commission for Aviation Regulator which ensures that your money is secure and protected.
If you use an unlicensed travel provider and run into trouble, you’re out of luck and you are not protected.
A licensed Travel Agent or Tour Operator is required to display their license at their place of business and on their website and must produce this license upon request.
According to the Irish Travel Agents Association (ITAA) here are the benefits of booking with a licensed Travel Agent
“ITAA member travel agents offer their clients a high level of expert advice regarding destinations, transport, accommodation and transfers, tailored to the consumer’s specific needs and requirements.
