If there is an arbitration clause in the contract or an agreement is reached with the travel company afterwards, consumers can file an arbitration with an arbitration institution by virtue of the arbitration clause and the arbitration agreement.

5. Bring a lawsuit to the people's court. Consumers can bring a lawsuit to the court with civil indictment, travel contract and other relevant evidence materials.
