"They'll Pay 50 Rubles A Year For 20 Years"

A woman from Belarus bought a package tour, but chose the wrong travel agency.
A woman from Belarus posted on Threads that the company from which she purchased a tour package is being liquidated. Now she doesn’t know how to get her money back. As it turns out, the company in question is “Daily Tours.” The company has indeed decided to go into liquidation, and creditors have been given two months to submit their claims, according to “Zerkalo”.
“I never would have thought that in Belarus you could buy a tour from a travel agency, only to have them file for liquidation. Is it really possible to get my money back?” the author of the post asked.
She also wrote that the tour operator isn’t responding.
In the comments, some suggested “forgetting” about both the tour and the money, while others tried to offer advice on how to proceed in this situation. Here are some of the comments under the post:
“Prepare a creditor’s claim, contact the liquidator, and make sure the liquidation process doesn’t conclude.”
“Is the travel agency or the tour operator being liquidated? If it’s the travel agency, then this has nothing to do with you at all. Once the tour is fully paid for, the tour operator is liable to you.”
“You purchased from a tour operator, not a travel agency; legally, these are different entities. Check whether the tour operator’s liability fund applies.”
“Forget about all that. Write a statement to the liquidator, attach a breakdown of your expenses, and wait for the outcome. There will be a court case. Then they’ll tell you that you’re somewhere down the list. Most likely, the fourth. Because 1, 2, and 3 are salaries, taxes, people with disabilities, and so on. And the company has a mountain of debt and no assets. In the end, they’ll pay you 50 rubles a month. For 20 years.”
“The nonsense people are writing here is unbelievable—if a corporation owes you money and you’re not first in line among the creditors, forget about that money.”
“A travel agency has been ‘repaying’ my parents like this for six years now.”
In the comments, the Belarusian woman also clarified that she was referring to “Daily Tours.” It’s a tour operator. Judging by its social media page, the company takes travelers from Minsk and Mogilev to Gelendzhik, Georgia, and self-proclaimed Abkhazia.
On August 18 of this year, the company did indeed decide to go into liquidation. The deadline for filing claims is two months. This means that during this time, creditors (anyone to whom the firm owes money) must submit their monetary and other claims against the company to the liquidator.
