DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM AGAINST BOGUS TRAVEL AGENTS
MAY 3, 2018

Butuan City| Based on Department of Tourism (DOT) statistics, at least seven million Filipinos travel around the country between April and May, most people take a break by traveling and taking a vacation away from the usual hustle and bustle of their day-to-day lives.

The internet has given people the convenience of checking great deals on travel tours which also opens the risk of bogus travel agencies which offer “too-good-to-be-true” tour packages on social media.

DOT encourages all foreign and local travelers alike are encouraged to be cautious of “colurum” travel agencies to avoid problems that might ruin their escapade by following these WISE steps: W – Work out your travel plans; I – Identify travel agencies; S – See tourism quality seal; and E – Engage accredited service providers only.

The best way to be secured in travelling is to choose DOT Accredited Tour Operators that offer a wide range of inbound and out bound tour packages. Accredited tour operators have qualified the standards which cater to the convenience of the travelers availing the packages.

DOT accredited tour operators have undergone comprehensive human resource development seminars, tour guiding, and other technical skill trainings which DOT offers. The accreditation also links the establishments to other government agencies, assuring their clients of standard rating, proper travel assistance, and safety.

Caraga region alone has eleven (11) of accredited travel agencies as of March 2018 which offer a variety of tours that you can avail at a most reasonable price. Below is the list of the said accredited tour operators in Caraga region.
