As the recession increases its grip on all sectors including the travel industry it is sad to see another company close it’s doors. Was it miss managed? Did it fall on hard times? Or is it being done to make a quick buck? These are all questions that come to mind. The latest company to close shop is a company called Travel Crossings. Ok it is never nice to see companies close down and it does send ripples through the industry. It is really refreshing though that the former MD Jacques Bezuidenhout has taken this on the chin and has personal availed himself to sort out any clients that have been affected by the companies liquidation. Good on you Jacques, not nice to see a sinking ship however making yourself available and dealing with the state at hand is exemplary. Good luck to sorting the affairs of Travel Crossings out.
This situation brings back awful memories of the airline Varig, they closed shop and let all clients fend for themselves, left clients stranded and penniless.
Jacques Bezuidenhout of Travel Crossings is lying.
We sent him a e-mail saying our customer has lost R30 000 due to his liquidation. We told him that we managed to get another package for R22 180 and would appreciate if he could refund the money to us.I am not even asking for all of the money back.
To date I have only had a mail saying that he is in a difficult position. No offer of money.My heart pumps purple custard. He says he was let down, but no details. In travel, you do not buy a holiday until you are paid, so how was he let down?
He is a con man looking for sympathy.
Let him put his money where his mouth is. So far his customers are the only ones who have lost anything. He stole our money and has done nothjing to give it back to us.
