I have been away from the board for a while and was disturbed on my return to read about visitors being held up (no pun intended) by Customs Officials demanding bribes.

On my visits I have not experienced any problems and was wondering if this is primarily happening to people who are not travelling as part of a tour or vacation package. We have always travelled with Air Transat Holidays.

Does anyone know if the 'victims' of the Customs are travelling on their own?
