TENON TOURS RESIGNS USTOA MEMBERSHIP

 

NEW YORK – March 20, 2020 -- Effective March 18, 2020, Tenon Tours has voluntarily resigned its USTOA membership.  Accordingly, Tenon Tours no longer participates in the USTOA $1 Million Travelers Assistance Program.

 

“Travel agents should be aware that purchases of Tenon Tours products made between February 5, 2020 and March 18, 2020 may be protected under the USTOA $1 Million Travelers Assistance Program. Client deposits and payments thereafter will not be covered by the USTOA program,” advises USTOA President & CEO Terry Dale.  

 

"The current global situation we are all facing has required us to reevaluate our company's immediate needs.  Although we valued our membership immensely, we have regretfully decided to resign from USTOA and look forward to rejoining in the future," said Bryan Lewis, president of Tenon Tours.

 

Dale added that USTOA looks forward to welcoming Tenon Tours back as a member in the future.
