USTOA President Bob Whitley has confirmed that Ian Swain, president of Swain Tours, has purchased 100% ownership of the company from Travel Corp. Whitley stated that under USTOA bylaws a company must be under the same continuous management or ownership for three years in order to remain eligible for membership. Therefore Swain Tours no longer qualifies to be a member of USTOA.
Accordingly, deposits and payments made to Swain Tours prior to July 8th 2006 are protected under the USTOA Traveler`s Assistance Program; but deposits and payments made after July 7th 2006 are not protected under the Program. We look forward to welcoming Ian Swain and Swain Tours back to USTOA in the near future, added Whitley.
