The end of school marks the start of the summer travel season. With the cost of travel rising, consumers are susceptible to vacation travel fraud. The Better Business Bureau is warning vacationers to beware of travel clubs. Complaints to the BBB show that many travel clubs promise huge discounts on hotels, airfare and cruises, but fail to deliver these discounts to members despite the high cost of joining. "Consumers are looking for vacation bargains," said BBB President Tom Bartholomy. "Unfortunately, they are being seduced by slick presentations from high-pressure sales people who promise great deals that do not exist."
