Matta Fair 2011 at PWTC

malaysia-asia — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 13:39:10 +0800

Most of you already know about the Matta Fair which is held twice a year here in KL. How many of you actually visit the fair to look for travel deals and bargains?
I usually go there to just see what's going on in the travel world as I frequently travel on work but have never bought a package/ticket there in the last 5 years.

I would like to highlight one of the so called 'tricks' used there to lure travelers. Most of us know that a trip to Korea for 4-5 days will cost about RM3-4k per person inclusive of everything. However, when at the Matta fair, you will notice companies selling Korea packages at an amazing RM2k per person.

Now, here is the trick - This is a "group booking" meaning they sell this package on a pre-determined date and hope to meet to quota of 20-30 people to go on that flight. So lets say you buy it, you will have to travel on their given dates. So you take leave and so on. Now, if they have a cancellation from lets say a few people, they will not depart on that allocated date and push it to another date. This is where you are left hanging. Anyway, I just wanted to highlight this here to wanna be travelers.

Always check if it is group departure before purchasing your much awaited holidays. Sometimes it's wise to check and double check.
