Travel compensation fund chairman reappointed
*

Ignatius Chan and Gordon Kwong have been reappointed as chairman and member of the Travel Industry Compensation Fund Management Board for two years from October 15.

 

The Commerce & Economic Development Bureau today thanked Mr Chan and Mr Kwong for their devotion and contribution to the board. It is confident that the board will continue to discharge effectively its statutory duties in protecting outbound travellers.

 

The board is a statutory body established under the Travel Agents Ordinance. It holds, manages and applies the fund which provides ex gratia payment to outbound group/package travellers who suffer losses in the event of default of travel agents and those who sustain injuries or die in accidents while travelling abroad.
