Suspension of Travel Agent Licence: Al Faheem Tours & Travels Pte Ltd
Singapore, 29 May 2024 – The Singapore Tourism Board (“STB”) would like to inform the public that Al Faheem Tours & Travels Pte Ltd (travel agent licence number 03211) (“AF”) has been suspended from conducting travel agent activities with effect from 28 May 2024, in accordance with the Travel Agents Act 1975.
The suspension is a result of the company’s failure to submit its audited statement of accounts (“AA”) within 6 months after the close of its financial year, and the corresponding failure to pay for the financial penalty in lieu of suspension or revocation that was imposed for the contravention.
The suspension will remain in effect until AF has paid the financial penalty, or for up to 6 months, whichever is earlier. During the period of suspension, AF will be required to fulfil its existing obligations to its customers, but will not be allowed to accept new travel bookings.
STB takes a serious view against errant travel agents and will not hesitate to take necessary actions to protect the reputation of Singapore’s travel industry.
