During the day, SVT and other media have told how Detur travelers in Turkey are required to pay from their hotels even though they have already paid for a package trip.
From several sources, hotels are said to lock guests out of the rooms if they do not pay.
The testimonies come, among other things, from Alanya, where fights between guests and hotel staff arose after Detur's customers were asked to pay for their rooms themselves.

The company closes the lid
At the same time that information has been spread that Detur has been bought out, it has been deathly quiet from the company.
The press department has not answered any questions and Detur's Swedish pages on both Facebook and Instagram have been shut down.
When SVT visited the address in Stockholm where Detur is registered on Thursday afternoon, there is another company that states that it only handles Detur's accounting and correspondence - and that Detur's operations are managed from a home office.
"Retake", "restart" - and pause
SVT has also seen an email that Detur sent in the afternoon to a traveler who was going to Crete from Gothenburg tomorrow, where the company announces that the trip has been cancelled.
The explanation is stated to be that the travel industry's challenges together with the Ukraine war, inflation and energy shortages mean that "the travel base is failing, while the costs of aviation fuel are increasing sharply" which in turn leads to "there is a need for a restart to ensure a healthy company.
Detur has therefore decided to review its operations and will therefore make a restart with new capital injected into the company at the same time as a reorganization is carried out".
In several Turkish industry media, a statement from Detur Global with similar wording is referenced, and where it is also stated that the company will take a break in operations to reduce its risks and develop a new business model.
SVT is looking for Detur.
