KIEV, July 19 - Karya Tour travel agency said that its Turkish partner Sunspot caused a $2 million loss to the company. The sum was sent by Karya Tour to its partner to reserve rooms in hotels, flights and other services, according to the Monday's Segondnya newspaper.

As reported, Kiev Economic Court on July 5 declared the Kiev-based travel agency bankrupt and started liquidation procedures.

"We're trying to clear up where money is, but we are not able to contact Sunspot representatives. However, this does not mean that we'll wait until we return these millions [of dollars]. We want to return money to travel agencies irrespective of this fact: we'll check the firm's assets, accounts…" the travel agency's leadership told the publication, adding that the company received 280 applications from Ukrainian travel agencies asking for the return of money for defaulted tours.
