Introduction<\/h3>\n

As the travel industry continues to recover, consumers are continuing to use and abuse chargebacks.\u00a0 This issue loomed large during the pandemic for Travel Organisers, and this summer, reports suggest that chargebacks are once again on the rise.<\/p>\n

Since the pandemic, consumers have become more attuned to their rights and possess a deeper understanding of the chargeback process. There is a perception among customers that requesting a chargeback is easier than pursuing a refund, even when a refund may not be payable.<\/p>\n

It is crucial for our Members to grasp the best strategies for handling and managing chargebacks.<\/p>\n

Join us for this informative webinar where we welcome renowned experts in the travel industry:<\/h3>\n
