“We decided to cancel the trip about a week after Oct 7,” Dr Chua told CNA, referring to the day when After the war broke out, Mrs Ng said the agency offered two options: To continue the tour to Egypt and Jordan, skipping Israel; or postpone it to next year. In Mrs Ng’s case, as she bought her flight tickets online, she had to pay both the cancellation charges as well as the platform's service fees.

Ms Tan said the company maintains daily communication with its tour manager and local travel partner in Egypt to ensure the safety of customers throughout their journey. Under its policy, customers who cancel their tours at least 35 days before the departure date will have to forfeit a minimum deposit, which is at least S$1,000.
