To All Members,

 

Sub: Pending refund of Excursion Agents/Tourist Transport Operators from the Principal Agents

 

Dear Friends,

 

It is repeatedly being brought to our notice by many of our Excursion Agents and Tourist Transport Operators that their payments are pending for settlement from their Principal Agents for over two years and in spite of their repeated reminders payment is not being made.

 

Some of the Principal Agents are holding huge sums of money for unknown reasons / not responding to emails / not taking telephone calls etc. Earlier we were informed by some of the excursion agents that they are being asked to settle the outstanding by accepting some percentage and to a give certificate of full and final settlement. All this is giving a bad name to the principal agents as the services have already been provided by the excursion agents including the payments made by the excursion agents for monuments entry fee, rides, safaris etc. for more than two years ago.

 

Friends, the excursion agents are our extended arms and they play a big role in providing services to our clients and bringing a good name for your company which gets you repeated clients. Therefore, please understand their problem and settle their pending payments.

 

Now most of our members who were waiting for SEIS Scrips to be released, have already received funds in their accounts. Therefore, the payments need to be released to our counterparts.  

 

We have made this request earlier also twice and request all our Principal Agents once again to clear due of all their excursion agents/transport operators etc. at the earliest without any further delay.

 

This is my humble appeal to all of you.

 

Thanks and regards,
