DON'T BE A VICTIM OF TRAVEL FRAUD

• A "SPECTACULAR LUXURY DREAM VACATION offer" isn't a free vacation. It's an offer to sell you a trip that may be luxurious -- or not.

• Taxes and service fees can substantially inflate the cost of a vacation.

BEFORE YOU BUY TRAVEL...

• Research the travel seller. Make sure the seller is a member of a professional travel association such as the American Society of Travel Agents, the National Tour Association or the United States Tour Operators Association.

• Verify arrangements before you pay. Get the details of your vacation in writing and a copy of the cancellation and refund policies. Ask if the business has insurance and whether you should buy cancellation insurance.

The FTC provides consumer information on Travel Fraud. Additional information on Travel Fraud is available from the American Society of Travel Agents.
