One-year fee waiver - providing financial relief to registrants

Recognizing the severe impact that the COVID-19 outbreak has had on the travel industry, on September 1 the Ontario Government provided funding to TICO so that we can assist you during this difficult time.

With this financial support, you will not need to pay your annual registration renewal fees or Travel Industry Compensation Fund payments (“Form-1”) owed to TICO between April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. This will allow you to focus on your priority business needs without the added financial stress of meeting certain payment obligations. The waiver applies to registrants who were already registered with TICO as of March 31, 2020. It does not apply to “new” registrants who applied for initial registration after March 31, 2020.

Please note that registrants subject to the waiver are still required to complete and submit their Registration Renewal Form (without payment) and their Form-1 (without payment) by the filing deadline.
