# How can I find genuine travel deals and avoid fake packages?



## Answers

### Answer by John Paul Navarro

Some precautions:

- **Book through registered travel agents** or official websites, ideally recognised by the Ministry of Tourism.
- **Check reviews** on multiple independent platforms.
- **Get a written itinerary** listing hotels, inclusions and cancellation rules.
- **Avoid paying full amounts in cash** or to personal accounts.
- **Be wary of very cheap packages** and urgency tactics.
- **Verify hotel bookings directly** with the hotel.

If cheated, report to the cybercrime portal or call 1930, and file a consumer complaint.
