Answer: Yes we comply with the Travel Agent's Act (part reproduced below) and we are a bonafide travel agent.
"Any person who carries out travel agent activity without a valid travel agent’s licence would be in contravention of section 6 of the Travel Agents Act (Cap.334).
Sections 4(1), 6(1) & 6(2) which are appended below for your easy reference:
Section 4 (1) – Subject to this section, a person carries on the business of travel agent if he -
(a) Sells tickets entitling an individual to travel, or otherwise arranges for a person a right of passage on any conveyance;
(b) Sells to, arranges or makes available for, a person rights of passage to, and hotel or other accommodation at, one or more places (being places within or outside Singapore, or some of which are within and others of which are outside Singapore);
(c) Purchases for resale the right of passage on any conveyance (not being a prescribed conveyance);
(d) Carries out such activity as may be prescribed; or
(e) Holds himself out as, or advertises that he is willing to carry on any activity referred to in paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d).
Section 6 (1)
“No person shall carry on the business of a travel agent unless he is the holder of a licence granted to him or any other person on his behalf”.
Section 6 (2)
“Any person who contravenes or fails to comply with subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years or to both. "
