The Travel Industry Council of Ontario's (TICO's) Board of Directors has approved 34 claims against the Ontario Travel Compensation Fund totalling $170,721. The money is going to assist 66 consumers who did not receive the travel services for which they had paid.

The approved Ontario Travel Compensation Fund claims are as follows:

Crystal Cruises

29 claims to assist 52 consumers, totalling $158,184

Rejoice Holidays Inc.

Fly Jamaica Airways

1 claim to assist 6 consumers, totalling $5,544

Sunmed Holidays Inc.

The Ontario Travel Industry Compensation Fund is wholly-financed by the industry to protect consumers who do not receive the travel services for which they paid, due to the insolvency or bankruptcy of an Ontario-registered travel agent or travel wholesaler or due to the cessation of an end supplier airline or cruise line.
