In this new stage of changes we never doubt our ability to work and our fundamental role.”
«We went through government changes together, new paradigms and beliefs regarding the role of Travel agencies. The structure of our work was shaken,” said Deyá; and assured: “We will once again put on the agenda the search for solutions to double taxation and accumulation of balances in favor of Travel agencies, because we are convinced that they are more productive if they are invested to enhance the growth of the agencies.” .
Finally, the president of Faevyt highlighted the relevance of RNAV: “Today we have a debureaucratized, easy and accessible Registry that has added more than 400 new agencies since its launch.”
