An Ontario travel agent has been convicted for operating without registration under the Travel Industry Act.

Lilia Quiroz was sentenced to a fine of $3,000 plus victim surcharge fees for a total of $3,750, and to a period of probation for one year with the condition (in addition to statutory conditions of the probation order) that restitution of $2,000 is refunded to a consumer who paid Quiroz for travel services that were not received.

Quiroz operated in Mississauga and elsewhere in Ontario, TICO said.
