FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) A year after the pandemic first reached the Central Valley, business is finally picking up at Fresno travel agency Travel Shoppe. We are selling more than we are refunding now, so i am happy about that, said owner Cheri Verrastro.
Verrastro said 2020 was a tough year for most travel agencies.
The coronavirus forced them to cancel bookings, resulting in very little income flow.
The latest Air Travel Consumer Report shows that more than 102,000 complaints were filed against airline companies last year.
90,000 of those were for refunds.
