Inspectors from Consumer Protection showed that 60 percent of the verified tourism agencies in April violated the laws set for tourism activity.
The measure adopted by inspectors resulted in 145,000 euros in fines and the closing of some agencies.
Consumer Protection verified 280 economic agents active in the tourism sector and found irregularities in 168 cases. Seventeen agencies were verified in Bucharest and 14 of them received fines totaling 3000 euros.

Inspectors checked the existence and validity of license certificates, tourism licenses and licenses of the agencies directors.
Other verifications focused on whether tourism agencies offered tourists information referring the location and category of the health resorts they must go to, the means of transportation and other similar information.
The laws regulating tourism activities force agencies and health resorts to solve any complaints regarding the offered services immediately. Any tourism agency must have qualified personnel as tourism agents, use licensed touring cars and have the proper services food and accommodation.
