Homeric Tours is a proud member of USTOA, the United States Tour Operators Association.  USTOA's $1 Million Travelers Assistance Program requires each USTOA Active Member company to post $1 million in security in the form of a bond or letter of credit. The security, to be held by USTOA Tour Depositors Trust, is solely for use in reimbursing consumers for tour payments or deposits lost in the event of:

·   A USTOA Active Member bankruptcy

·   A USTOA Active Member insolvency

·   A USTOA Active Member cessation of business

·   Failure of a USTOA Active member to refund consumer deposits or payments within 120 days following its cancellation of a tour(s) or vacation packages(s) or its material failure to complete performance of a tours(s) or vacation packages(s).

In addition to financial protection, USTOA also offers travelers invaluable assistance in the event of member insolvency:

• USTOA will ask all its member companies to provide assistance to affected travelers in whatever way they can, on a voluntary basis. 
• USTOA will inform consumers on their rights of recovery and provide a consumer information center through its website (www.ustoa.com), keeping travelers apprised of latest developments.
• USTOA will serve as a clearinghouse of information, apprising travelers and the press of options available.
