Travel agencies urge govt to address hike in umrah package prices

Umrah travel providers are asking the government to engage with them to come up with solutions for recent hikes in umrah package prices. – AFP pic, January 25, 2023.

“The government through the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry may be able to play a role by holding a meeting with the travel agency association to discuss the extent of the increase and what the government can do to help so the public will not put the blame entirely on the travel agency. “It is true that there has been an increase in the price to perform the umrah after two years of Muslims all over the world not being able to do so, causing demand to be higher than supply with a lack of flights and perhaps not enough hotels since many hotels there are being renovated.

“If there is a black-and-white agreement, any issue related to a sudden increase can be reported to the authorities ... and I think the hotels there will not dare to break the law by raising hotel prices arbitrarily, ” he said.
