Business as Usual at Swain Tours

It will be business as usual at Swain Tours following Ian Swain's purchase of the company from the Travel Corp. earlier this month. The acquisition fulfills his desire to reacquire the company; he'd earlier tried but was outbid following the unraveling of Far & Wide. In related news, the change in ownership triggered the company's withdrawal from the United States Tour Operators Association; that organization's bylaws require members to be under the same continuous management or ownership for three years. Deposits and payments made before July 8 are protected under USTOA's Traveler's Assistance Program. Visit [www.swaintours.com].
