Three backpacker travel agents (2 with branches in Airlie Beach*) have come under fire from the ACCC for breaching the new component pricing laws in their advertising.
According to the ACCC,
Wicked Travel,
Peter Pan’s Adventure Travel*
and Adventure Travel Bugs*
published advertisements that did not comply with the new requirements.
The ACCC stated that some of these businesses advertised tours to the Whitsundays and Fraser Island for as little as $299, when that price did not include mandatory charges that consumers had to pay, including insurance, national park fees, the Great Barrier Reef environmental charge and administration fees, taking the total price of the tour to approximately $450.
