Warning from TURSAB to those who are going on: Do not fall into the trap

Stating that the incidents of abuse and forgery have increased in tourism, especially with the development of digital booking opportunities, TÜRSAB President Firuz BAGLIKAYA warned holiday-makers against pitfalls.

Those who work all year round and set up a holiday plan in the summer should be careful about fraud incidents when booking online. While researching for a holiday plan, it is possible to get information and make reservations through many social media channels as well as internet sites. However, social media accounts can sometimes belong to fraudsters.

Scammers advertise at discounted prices and with unreal images. At this point, it is important to confirm whether the account that has been contacted belongs to a real person or institution. In this sense, choosing reliable corporate companies for booking and actually making booking transactions reduces the risk of being scammed.
