TIPTO shakes off loss of founding members

SIX COMPANIES, including Cosmos, Jetlife and Somak, have quit the Truly Independent Professional Organisation as is starts its third year.

Their decision not to renew membership – mainly due to marketing or budgetary constraints – brings numbers down from 25 to 19.

TIPTO said it is on the verge of signing up three new companies – a travel insurer and two tour operators.
