The Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO) is a self-managed, not-for-profit corporation, responsible for administration and enforcement of the Ontario Travel Industry Act, 2002 and Ontario Regulation 26/05 on behalf of the Ontario government. The legislation governs all of the approximately 2,500 travel retailers and travel wholesalers registered in Ontario. In addition, TICO administers an industry-financed Travel Compensation Fund.
All travel agencies in Ontario are regulated by TICO and it's Ontario law that requires travel agencies to be registered with TICO. When you book your travel with a TICO registered travel agency you are protected by Ontario’s consumer protection legislation. Whether you're booking in-person or online, ensure you book with a TICO registered travel agency. Visit TICO.ca for travel tips and to find a TICO registered travel agency near you.
