NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwire - March 27, 2008) - Airline-related issues overwhelmingly outnumber all complaints tour operators receive from travelers, according to an informal member survey conducted by the U.S. Tour Operators Association. The association — whose members send 11 million people on vacation yearly — reported that over 70% of responding tour operators cited airline problems as the most common complaint, followed by money-related issues, reported by 20% of members.

Other complaints cited were airline cutbacks, full/overbooked flights, and lengthy check-in procedures including security.
