What types of advertising are prohibited for registered travel agents under TICO rules?

Under TICO rules, misleading or deceptive advertising is prohibited for registered travel agents. This is a fundamental principle because maintaining consumer trust and ensuring that the information provided to clients is accurate and reliable is essential in the travel industry. Deceptive advertising can lead to consumer dissatisfaction, legal issues, and a tarnished reputation for travel agents and the broader industry.

Travel agents must ensure that their promotional materials reflect the actual products and services being offered, with clear and truthful representations. This not only protects consumers but also upholds the integrity of the travel industry as a whole.

The other advertising types listed may have specific regulations, but they are not outright prohibited by TICO like misleading or deceptive advertising is. Instead, those practices can be used if they comply with all relevant regulations and standards for accurate representation.
