such, on which vacationers book thousands of tickets online on a daily basis. One
of these websites is where vacationers make a booking for a tour package

pockets are being cut.As of now, two instances of fraud have come to the IRCTC
and a case has been registered with the police against this.
According to IRCTC, some people run illegal
ticket booking website much alike to the company name, on which people are easily
being cheated. IRCTC made it clear that the company operates only
www.irctctourism.com. The travellers can book their tickets for railway
tours, air tours, hotels and cruise packages this website. The fake website also being operated as
irctctour.com. The most shocking thing is that its voucher resembles the
voucher of IRCTC. The website is using a mobile number 9999999999, landline number 6371526046 and email
