PART THREE – RELATIONS WITH FELLOW MEMBERS

CATO members will conduct business so to avoid confrontation with fellow tour operators. In the event of a controversy arising between CATO members, such controversy should be submitted to the Executive Committee of CATO before any member resorts to litigation.

CATO members will not willfully interfere with or induce cancellation of a transaction after a deposit has been paid, or a memorandum in writing exists.

CATO members will not imitate, simulate or copy any name, design, style, mark or pattern used by another CATO member, agent, hotel or common carrier without permission.

CATO members will not use improperly obtained marketing and sales information, client lists or other confidential information obtained from an employee’s former employer.

CATO members are not justified in violating any provision of this code of ethics on the basis that another tour operator may be doing so.
