Travel agency suspended for using unlicensed tour guide

SINGAPORE - The Singapore Tourism Board announced on Wednesday it had suspended travel agency TG Tours for two months until July 14.

The suspension comes in light of a tour conducted by an unlicensed tourist guide working for TG Tours in October 2014, which breached requirements under the Travel Agents Regulations. The guide was in the midst of giving a tour when an STB enforcement officer checked his credentials and discovered he did not have a licence, said the director of travel agents and tourist guides at STB, Ms Ong Ling Lee.
