  1. Under TICO regulations, which of the following entities is EXEMPT from registration as a travel agent or travel wholesaler?

    Answer: A hotel booking directly for its own accommodations only

    Hotels selling only their own accommodations are exempt from TICO registration because they are not acting as travel agents or wholesalers.

    Answer: Notify TICO and ensure the branch is listed on the registration

    Branch locations must be disclosed to TICO and included under the registrant's existing registration, not treated as entirely separate registrations.

  3. A travel agency's registration has lapsed because the registrant failed to renew. What is the legal consequence of continuing to sell travel services?

    Answer: The registered travel agent (the registrant/operator)

  6. A travel wholesaler based in British Columbia sells package tours to Ontario consumers exclusively through Ontario-registered travel agents. Must this wholesaler be registered with TICO?

    Answer: Yes, because it is selling travel services to Ontario consumers

    Answer: Its TICO registration number and the TICO logo or consumer protection notice
