On Behalf of the Workers at Tucan Journey
The coronavirus pandemic has had a extreme affect on many companies particularly the journey trade. Throughout this difficult time, tour operators like Tucan Journey have faithfully tried to assist folks and stability their wants. Throughout this time we needed to make troublesome choices to maintain the corporate alive together with many workers redundancies, most of whom are loyal lengthy serving workers with households to assist. Sadly this now extends to all workers.
With shopper’s welfare and finest pursuits on the forefront, Tucan Journey took the choice early in March 2020 to droop tour operations. There was no passable answer for tour operators to have the ability to deal with the variety of shoppers wishing to obtain quick full refunds. The explanation for that is that tour operators successfully coordinate airways, accommodations and native providers corresponding to guides, permits and transportation for teams of shoppers. Tour operators are required to pay prematurely to safe these providers on behalf of their shoppers; many of those service contracts are non-refundable or non-transferrable. As well as lots of the smaller abroad accommodations and repair suppliers that specialist tour operators assist are in a good worse state of affairs, they merely shouldn’t have the sources to repay what’s owed to tour operators till they’re able to reopen their enterprise and earn cash once more.
Nobody might have predicted that in January 2021, most international locations on this planet can be in additional robust lockdowns with many individuals dropping their lives and family members. There’s unlikely to be any regular worldwide leisure journey till 2022 and so with a heavy coronary heart, the choice was taken in one of the best pursuits of everybody involved to position the corporate into administration. I wish to thank all shoppers, suppliers and workers for his or her assist through the years and hope you get to take pleasure in travelling once more sooner or later. Finest needs, Tucan Journey.
