OTOAI issues Legal Notice to Atlys Visa Services over misleading advertisement

Outbound Tour Operators Association of India ( OTOAI ) has taken formal legal action against Atlys India Private Limited in response to the defamatory and disparaging statements made against the Travel Agent community.

Acting as an association and on behalf of the travel trade fraternity, OTOAI has issued a legal notice to Atlys India Private Limited. The said notice addresses the concerns related to the objectionable content circulated on social media platforms, which undermines the professionalism and credibility of travel agents.

The association had issued a formal notice to Atlys, alleging that a recently published social media video unfairly portrayed travel agents in a negative and generalized manner. Responding to the notice, Atlys clarified that the content was never intended to target licensed, ethical, or professionally governed travel agents or recognised industry associations.
