Jonathan C. Some people buy in agencies because they don’t won’t to plan. Some others because you don’t have to pay all in once. My cousin bought her ticket in an agency last year because they had a deal on extra kilos. My friend because he lost his credit card and could only pay cash. When you are traveling as a group too, it can be helpful apparently.

Of course, in 2017 the same thing happened to them, could not pay their employees and vendors millions of dollars, people got to destinations only to find the hotels refused service as WV had taken their money, but didn't pay the hotels. Meanwhile, the C level execs were buying themselves 911s and Maserati's.

Do you really think your 3.5 years of poncing around and now your Brexit kamekaze threats have no affected on businesses? Most businesses have already moved out, the pound is down 20% so far, your own Brexit peddlers have moved billions offshore already. They ain't all waiting for your stupidity to begin - it already has. Only Brexit Moon-juice couch potatoes left thinking they're is some silver lining - can't tell anyone where, when or what, though.

06:39 "Warning to all companies" : "Don't set yourself with a huge amount of debts, because it can come back and bite you." Very wrong logic. Apparently, the company isn't the one that's being bitten. The consumers are. I'm sure the management has been receiving a good salary.

WorldVentures will be next. In 2017 they were unable to pay their reps and vendors millions of dollars. People also got stranded. They paid the cost of their vacation to WorldVentures, but WV didn't pay the vendors, so when the people got there, they found out they had no rooms. WorldVentures cost their own employees their cars, homes and for some their families due to the greed of the C level executives who were still buying themselves Maserati's and 911s at the same time they said they were unable to pay their employees and vendors.
