A member of the Chamber of Tourism Companies explained that if companies bear the differences, this will affect the services provided to them.

He pointed out that companies are prepared to not have any gains through Hajj programs, or to lose reasonable numbers that enable them to continue in the market, but they are not prepared to go bankrupt.
