CONTIKI CARES

Armed with the education of experience and open eyes, travellers understand that exploring the world consciously is of paramount importance. Supporting local communities and the environment is not optional – it’s essential. The good news is: small steps make big waves. That’s why we’re committed to making sure it’s easy for you to take a few strides in the right direction.

CONTIKI CARES PROJECTS Since 2008, Contiki has been partnered with some incredible organisations and people that we continue to support.

2008 Sustainable Coastlines

2011 MAR Leadership Oceana

2013

Cusco Centre for Textile Traditions, Peru

We visit the centre that employs more than 500 people in an effort to maintain the more than 10,000 year old Andean weaving traditions. Founded in 1997, the Co-Operative and Prosthetic Enterprise (COPE) was set up to support victims affected by un-detonated cluster bombs in Laos, a result of the Secret War 40 years ago. All Contiki groups travelling to Laos visit COPE and can make a donation to purchase an artificial limb. Camping Jungfrau, Lauterbrunnen

2014 Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco

Giving back to the destinations we visit is at the heart of our business. Here are just a few examples.

2016

Our stunning Lauterbrunnen campsite and cabin village was discovered in 1962. Leading a trip and having lost his way, Contiki’s founder John Anderson pitched his tent in a field one night only to be discovered by a farmer wondering who was on his land. The farmer, Hans, allowed the group to stay and now – 54 years later – the campsite on this spot is managed by Hans’ granddaughter and husband.

Contiki is proud to be using 100% recycled LEIPA paper for the body of our brochures. It’s just part of The Travel Corporation way, and another sign we really dig this planet of ours.

Coach Transport: A greener way to travel Think travelling by car, train or plane is more eco than a coach trip in most countries? Think again. We use Euro 6 coaches in Europe – the most efficient and environmentally friendly coaches on the road. Surprised?

COACHes: a cheaper WAY TO TRAVEL Cars: 3x more expensive than a coach

A trip to Asia is an attack on the senseS in the best possible way. The taste… of the spicy street foods of Hanoi. The sound… of the temple gongs in the mountains of Chiang Mai. The touch… of salty ocean water on your skin in Koh Samui. The sight… of the sun rising over Angkor Wat. The smell… of cherry blossoms in bloom in Osaka. This is Asia like you’ve never experienced it before.

Essential booking requirements

When you book your trip (as early in advance as possible) it’s essential that you let us know the following details: Full name (as appears on passport), nationality, date of birth & gender. What else? It’s also important that the passport information that you submit with your application is exactly the same as the passport you will use to travel to Latin America & it must have 6 months validity at time of travel. You will also need your passport to enter onto the trail.

Note: If your information changes it can result in a penalty & cancellation of admission to the Trail. No refunds will be given. Book early! The Peruvian Government closely controls the number of travellers on the Trail, with only 500 permits available each day. Inca Trail permits are non-refundable & nontransferable so it’s essential that you let us know your correct passport details at the time of booking so we can process your application quickly. (Contiki will process your application on your behalf within 3 days of booking but we cannot guarantee permit availability.)

WHEN DO I CHOOSE?

Flights as specified on individual trip itineraries are included as part of the price. As detailed within our Booking Conditions (p.114-115) under ‘General’, we rely on international conventions regarding air travel & other transportation as specified. Through enrollment & payment for your trip you acknowledge & accept such. Individual electronic tickets may not be issued to you prior to travel due to the group nature of the air/flight booking.

GROUP SIZE

Contiki’s group size is a maximum of 54 for USA & Canada trips. A maximum of 53 for Europe & New Zealand trips, a maximum of 50 for Australia trips and a maximum of 30 for Asia & Latin America trips.

TRIPS WITHIN TRIPS

You may notice on some of our trips that we offer shorter trips within a larger itinerary allowing greater choice & flexibility for our travellers as to when they start and for how long they travel. This means some fellow travellers will join and leave during different stages of those trips. Life’s an adventure and one that’s best spent sharing new experiences with new friends. So, if you have the time don’t take a mini break instead choose to see as much of the World as possible with us. For the trips that allow you this extra flexibility see contiki.com.

WILL I GET MORE INFORMATION?

Upon receipt of final payment, your trip documentation will be released 21 days prior to your departure. Make sure you visit contiki.com/guide for our Travellers Guides. They are packed full of essential info for your holiday. You’ll also receive a comprehensive day-by-day itinerary including full details & costs of all optional activities available on your trip. Your free Contiki document wallet* & luggage tag will be sent to you with your travel documents. The wallet is a safe place for your tickets & passport. * Contiki reserves the right to substitute an alternative travel accessory for the Contiki document wallet.

BROCHURE AUTHENTICITY

We have put a great deal of effort into producing this brochure. The information given & literature produced by Contiki has been compiled with care & is published in good faith. Sometimes, because of circumstances outside our control, we have to alter some activities due to seasonal closing or repairs to buildings, etc., especially early or late in the season. If this happens, alternatives will be arranged.

ME TIME OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES Optionals are arranged & paid for on trip. By leaving the final decisions until then you can choose at the same time as your new friends. You’ll get great value as we get you great rates & your Trip Manager can offer personal advice. Some activities are seasonal & weather dependent as well. Our optional activities on our trips are operated by 3rd party operators. While every attempt is made to ensure the safety of all activities, the nature of some regions means that public liability protection that is offered in many countries, may not be applicable in many cases. In some instances a waiver will need to be signed by trip participants to ensure that these conditions are understood & accepted.

HOW DO I PAY?

Payment for your ME Time optionals is made direct to your Trip Manager on your trip. You can choose to pay in cash (local currency or USD depending on the region). In New Zealand, Australia, North America & Europe you can use credit or debit card as long as they have a PIN attached. Using a credit or debit card is convenient, and can save you money on withdrawal fees & poor exchange rates! You can pay using most credit & debit cards like Visa, Mastercard & AMEX. Note: It’s a good idea to let your bank know you’re travelling & check if there is a daily transaction limit, so you always have access to money when you need it. Note: In a few destinations we cannot accept credit card payment. Ask your Trip Manager for details when you start your trip.

PAST TRAVELLER 5% DISCOUNT

We value our frequent travellers. All past Contiki and TTC sister brand customers are therefore eligible for a 5% discount on the land portion of their next trip. Conditions apply.

The discount applies to brochured prices only & cannot be combined with any non-brochured special market promotions.

DO I NEED VACCINATIONS?

It is wise to check with your medical doctor or travel agent prior to departure if you require any vaccinations for the countries you’ll be visiting. Don’t forget to bring with you any medication that you may require en route, such as antihistamines or antibiotics.

DO I NEED A PASSPORT OR VISA?

Please read carefully. Depending on your nationality, you may require visas to enter certain countries included in your trip. You are fully responsible for

obtaining all necessary visas prior to the departure of your trip. Contiki is not legally permitted to knowingly allow anybody who does not have a valid visa to join a trip. Visa & other entry & exit conditions (such as currency, arrival/departure taxes, customs & quarantine regulations) change regularly. Visit contiki.com/visas, consult your local embassy or travel agent to determine any visas you require & how to obtain them. Your passport must have at least six months validity at time of travel. Local immigration authorities may deny entry & deport people who do not meet this requirement, even if they intend on staying only for a short period. Important to consider: 1. Visas can take up to six weeks & a fee is normally charged. 2. Failure to obtain all necessary visas could cause you to miss part of your trip & will result in you incurring considerable expense & inconvenience. 3. Contiki is not responsible for any costs incurred as a result of you failing to obtain all necessary visas before the departure of your trip. 4. It is better to apply for all visas through your travel agent before you leave home. 5. It is very important that the entry & exit dates are correct on the visa. Your travel agent will contact Contiki for full details.

WHAT SHOULD I PACK?

For ideas & recommendations on what to pack for your trip visit contiki.com/travel-resources for all the info you need.

HOW MUCH LUGGAGE CAN I BRING?

Note: Contiki is not responsible for any fees incurred as a result of overweight luggage.

AGE RESTRICTIONS

Laws dealing with purchasing alcohol, entering nightclubs & bars & gambling in casinos differ around the world. For example, in Europe, you must be 18 years of age to purchase alcohol, enter nightclubs & bars & gamble in casinos. In the United States, you must be 21 years of age to purchase alcohol, enter nightclubs & bars & gamble in casinos.

OUR RESPONSIBILITIES

1. YOUR HOLIDAY RESERVATION On receipt of your deposit, subject to availability and at our discretion, Contiki will reserve your place on your selected holiday. A contract is made between you and Contiki Holidays Limited (Registered in Guernsey No. 50681 (Contiki)) only upon your booking being confirmed and accepted by us and our communication thereof to you or your travel agent. 2. YOUR FINANCIAL PROTECTION Contiki are a member of ABTA and hold ATOL Number 10144 issued by the Civil Aviation Authority, which provide for your protection in the event of our insolvency. Only bookings from countries subject to the EC Package Travel Directive will receive financial protection from ABTA & CAA. Many of the flights and flight-inclusive holidays in this brochure are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed in this brochure. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected. Please see our booking conditions for information, or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLCertificate When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. Any monies paid to us for non-licensable products (accommodation and packages which do not include flight elements) are protected by means of a bond held by us with ABTA. This means that if, in the unlikely event of our insolvency, the accommodation or package cannot be provided, the client will receive their money back or, if their stay has started, arrangements will be made for them to be able to continue as planned. 3. PRICE GUARANTEE Prices in this brochure are based on costs, taxes (including VAT/ sales taxes), levies & exchange rates as at 3rd August, 2015. Should these costs change, it may be necessary to make a surcharge on the price of your holiday. Should the total trip price increase by more than 10% you will have the right to cancel within 7 days of notification without penalty. No surcharge in respect of cost or currency fluctuations will be made once payment of the deposit for your land trip has been received. This guarantee excludes fuel surcharges & does not apply to any taxes, charges or levies imposed by any government or their agencies. In exchange for these guarantees, no refund will be made if costs are reduced. 4. IF WE CANCEL OR CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY 4.1 Contiki reserves the right to change or cancel your booking in accordance with operating requirements or circumstances beyond its control. 4.2 Should change or cancellation prove necessary we will give you reasonable notice thereof, in the circumstances, and where available, offer you a comparable

alternative. Where cancellation is necessary, a minimum period of 45 days notice will be given by us unless the circumstances leading to the cancellation were beyond our reasonable control. 4.3 If an alternative is not available or acceptable you will be entitled to either a full refund of monies paid by you to us or transfer to another Contiki holiday without payment of any transfer fee. 4.4 If the change or cancellation is due to force majeure (i.e. circumstances like political unrest, war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, closure of airports or ports, industrial disputes, terrorist activity, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, epidemic or health risk, Acts of God, adverse weather conditions or other similar events beyond Contiki’s control) we will give a full refund of any monies paid to us less reasonable expenses incurred by us in respect of your booking. 4.5 Contiki is not responsible for the cost of any other travel arrange-ments affected due to cancellation or the rescheduling of any holiday. 5. HOLIDAY DETAILS AND CONDITIONS 5.1 The information in our brochure is correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of going to print (December, 2015) but we cannot guarantee that any item or amenity mentioned will be available especially where we have no direct control over it. 5.2 Contiki will do their best, at their discretion, to select accommodation, sightseeing trips and transportation to give you good value for money. 5.3 Contiki constantly strives to improve trip itineraries and features. If such improvements can be made, or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels. Contiki is not responsible for any other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations. 5.4 Complimentary WiFi service is available in many Contiki guestrooms and/or the public areas of most properties. In many itineraries WiFi is also available on-board the coaches for a fee.

In some countries and on some coaches this service will not be available. 6. LIABILITY 6.1 Your travel agent shall, on the receipt of any monies, hold such monies for you until the booking is confirmed at which time those monies shall be remitted promptly by your travel agent to us. All such monies received by us will be deposited as required by law. Any money paid to a travel agent where land arrangements and flights are booked together is held by the travel agent on behalf of Contiki at all times. 6.2 We will be entitled to keep for our account any interest earned on such monies. 6.3 All monies paid by you to us through your travel agent or otherwise, whether in respect of the deposit or full payment, may be disbursed by us as and when we see fit, in respect of the services to be provided and/or fees payable under your selected holiday. The payment of a deposit or any other monies in respect of your holiday shall be deemed to be an authorisation for disbursement thereof as aforesaid.

CANCELLATION FEE Number of days prior to.............................................as % of trip commencement.............................................. total price more than 45 days notice ..........................Deposit is forfeited 45-22 days:........................................................................25% 21-8 days:..........................................................................30% 7-1 days:............................................................................50% Day of departure:.............................................................100% Where the percentage cancellation fee is less than the trip deposit, the cancellation fee will equal loss of deposit.

These must be booked well in advance in order to secure high quality services that adhere to our strict safety standards. Where the

percentage cancellation fee is less than the trip deposit, the cancellation fee will equal loss of deposit. If the reason for cancellation falls within the terms of any vacation insurance policy which you hold, then any such charges may, subject to the terms of your insurance policy, be refunded to you by the insurance company. All cancellation policies valid as at 4th December, 2015 and are subject to change. Final policy will be confirmed at the time of booking.
