Tropical Travel / Travel Booth
We have been receiving many calls from people who have won the trip to the Bahamas, and we understand your concerns with this company. If they do contact you, please understand that this company without our knowledge created a draw which was a scam to get you to pay only $300 per person for this "free" trip. I suppose there is no such thing as a free lunch. Please use your own discretion when dealing with this company. Due to the number of complaints we will not have them back at the con in 2009.
