Tourists need to be careful with fanpages with blue ticks
According to Mr. Nguyen Phi Hong Nguyen - Vice President of the Travel Association (Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa Tourism Association), when booking airline tickets on social networks, tourists need to research carefully and contact reputable sites.
"Even on websites introducing airline tickets or tours with blue ticks, tourists need to research carefully if they do not know any information about these services, especially when they see airline tickets being introduced at a lower price than the airlines, they need to be cautious," Mr. Nguyen advised.
For tourists traveling individually or with family, you need to contact to book tickets on the official websites or fanpages of popular airlines or intermediary channels such as Traveloka, Booking, Agoda or at the agents of the airlines.
For group travelers, it is necessary to look for reputable travel companies that have tours that include airfare or other services that will have better deals than booking individually.
