Vietnamese travel company fined.

The verification results indicate that: Winner Vietnam International Travel Co., Ltd. (Winner Company, headquartered in Cua Can Commune, Phu Quoc City, Kien Giang Province) signed a contract confirmation document with We Love Tour Company (headquartered in Taipei) on September 12, 2023. On January 24, 2024, Winner Company sent 10 price quotations for 10 tour groups to We Love Tour Company. However, due to disagreements between the two companies, on January 31, 2024, Winner Company unilaterally sent a notice to We Love Tour Company to cease providing services, but received no confirmation or response from We Love Tour Company.

In fact, on February 9, 2024, the We Love Tour group arrived at Phu Quoc International Airport without transportation or a tour guide. Therefore, We Love Tour contacted Winner Company to provide transportation for the Taiwanese group of 292 people participating in the Phu Quoc tour program. Winner Company reached an agreement with We Love Tour Company and arranged transportation and hotel accommodations for the group.

The tour group returned to Taiwan yesterday.
