TICO's Registrant Toolkit

A recent survey of Ontario consumers found that 82% of respondents think it’s important that the travel company they are booking with is regulated. Consumers expect to learn about the consumer protection available to them from the company they are booking with.

Free, easy-to-use, shareable resources that speak to the value of booking with a TICO-registered business.

To support registrants with materials that speak to consumer protection, TICO launched a digital Registrant Toolkit (www.tico.ca/toolkit) to provide Ontario’s travel agents, agencies, websites and tour operators with shareable resources that speak to the value of booking with a TICO-registered business.

“Enhancing consumer confidence will be a critical way for the travel industry recovery to move forward,” said TICO President and CEO Richard Smart. “The shareable resources in the Registrant Toolkit speak to the knowledge, professionalism, experience and support that come with booking with a TICO-registered business and the added peace-of-mind for consumers, especially during this recovery period.”
