Article 30
When posting advertisements in newspapers and magazines, on the Internet and through other media for each tour organized, travel agencies are required to specify the name and itinerary of the tour, the departure location and date, the number of days and expenses of the travel, the amounts covered by the liability insurance and contract fulfillment guarantee insurance taken, the name, type of travel agency, as well as business registration number and telephone number of the company. However, consolidated travel agencies may use their registered trademarks to replace company names.
The contents of the aforesaid advertisements shall be consistent with the information indicated in the travel document and may not include any exaggerated, false or misleading representation or symbol.
Where the items of information to be indicated in advertisements as described in Paragraph 1 cannot be completely presented, travel agencies shall provide such information on their websites and service web pages or through other appropriate channels for consumers to access.
Article 31
Travel agencies intending to use their trademarks to attract customers shall apply for trademark registration according to law and present the approved trademark to the Tourism Bureau for reference. Nonetheless, such companies shall still sign tour contracts using their company names.
Only one trademark may be presented for reference by each travel agency as specified in the preceding paragraph
Article 47
Once a travel agency has its license revoked or repealed, or is dissolved or declared bankrupt, application for approval to use its company name shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Article 26-2 of the Company Act.
The name of a new travel agency in the application filed for approval of establishment may not be the same as the name or trademark of any other travel agency in pronunciation. The name or trademark of such a new travel agency also may not be the same as or similar to any name recognized by the general public in order to prevent confusion with the name or trademark of another travel agency. The applicant shall acquire the permission of the Tourism Bureau before applying to the Ministry of Economic Affairs for a preliminary name search. Travel agencies intending to change their company names shall take the same procedure. However, use of a name similar to the name or trademark of another travel agency for the purpose of providing brand services may be approved provided that the other travel agency has given its consent in writing and none of the following situations has occurred to the other travel agency:
1.)The company has been sanctioned to suspend operation within the past two years.
2.)The company’s travel agency guarantee deposit has been placed under compulsory enforcement within the past two years.
3.) The company check rejection period has not yet expired.
4.) The Tourism Bureau has concluded the practice is likely to jeopardize the rights and interests of consumers.
Mainland Chinese travel agencies using names that are the same or similar to the names and trademarks of other travel agencies in mainland China before they apply for approval for use of such names in Taiwan as described in the preceding paragraph shall be rejected.
