CARIBBEAN
AND THE ISLANDS OF THE BAHAMAS AND BERMUDA

Welcome to the Caribbean
Welcome to the
CARIBBEAN Blazing sunsets over Technicolor seas, teeming with nearly 700 species of fish flitting among 70 types of vivid coral. Trade winds that skim mountain peaks, breathing softly into lush rainforests. Palms rising out of sparkling white beaches. Ethereal cloud forests that float high above mangrove swamps, cactus scrublands, and vast savannahs. These are the images travelers to the Caribbean’s over 700 islets, reefs, cays, and more than 30 islands carry with them. However, the beauty of these paradisiacal destinations goes beyond stunning aesthetic; gorgeous landscapes and year-round sunshine are only the beginning of this region’s allure. To get a true picture of the Caribbean, look past what you see and tap into how you feel. Close your eyes and focus on the sound of steel drums and pounding feet as pulsing reggae, calypso, and other island rhythms echo through the night. Savor what cuisine spooned from a melting pot tastes like—a blend of African, Spanish, Asian, East Indian and European flavors creating a profile all its own. Let the joy and vibrancy of incredible festivals infuse your soul. Escape to a time and place a world away, with elegant hospitality surrounded by colonial architecture on romantic estates, or resorts that provide modern luxury at its finest. Together, these are the true lasting impressions of the Caribbean— the beautiful, unforgettable moments embedded in your mind and heart forever; an indelible mark from the sweetest of escapes.

Relaxation may be the prevalent theme at most Caribbean islands, but in Aruba, the focus of every day is to find the joy in each moment. Even the sun shines with a smile on “One Happy Island,” where light trade winds make 82 degrees the temperature of perfection. For perfection it is, for every travel style, from family—and sea turtle!—favorite Eagle Beach to glamorous Palm Beach. Deserts populated by cacti, curious iguanas, and ancient boulders call to the explorer within, and the craggy limestone cliffs, towering sand dunes, and crashing breakers to the north inspire awe and a sense of freedom. In the capital city of Oranjestad, refined Dutch colonial architecture steals the spotlight just minutes from the island’s fofoti trees and inquisitive marine life. Located in the heart of the Southern Caribbean, its world-famous festivals, international cuisine, and shopping are just hours from most American airports, making “carefree” only a short flight away.

Ringed by glorious offshore reefs, to dive this island is to love it. Protected as a marine park, the call of the sea is a siren song, with “drive-through” dive stations for tank refills set up between stone markers naming the sites en route. Park, and a literal two minutes’ swim takes snorkelers and scuba divers to complex coral landscapes and stunningly preserved reefs, guarded by charming seahorses. Meanwhile, kayaks are the transport of choice through Bonaire’s rare and pristine mangrove system. Above the clear waters is even more untouched beauty, with beaches just the right size for you and one more. Company comes in the form of darling donkeys or feathered friends at Gotomeer, where flamingos wing their way nightly to Venezuela. In Washington-Slagbaai National Park, prickly pears, guida cacti and startling rock formations are happy companions for a 13,000-acre walk. Even the views from on high, such as from Sera Largu, past the tiny village of Rincon, are peaceful and solitary, with the ghosts of salt pans rising from purple “lakes” in the distance.

Consider this gem hidden no longer—leisure travelers have caught wind of this escapist’s dream. Puerto Plata’s sunny beaches and affordable all-inclusives already have their share of loyal devotees, and Punta Cana and Bavaro’s 20 miles of shoreline are hot on its heels. Dominican Republic is quickly building a reputation as a premier vacation spot—almost as quickly as the area is building golf courses designed by the likes of Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo; full-service marinas; and, of course, mega-resorts that leave you wanting for nothing. Nearby, La Romana’s quaint Altos de Chavon enclave is an exceptional work of livable art, with shops, boutiques, a gallery, restaurants, amphitheater and more perched high above golf courses, polo fields, tennis courts and a marina. Not to be forgotten is Cap Cana, a luxurious community with an array of five-star hotels, and the capital, Santo Domingo, where modern hotels sit on the same cobblestoned streets conquistador Juan Ponce de León once strode upon. Of course, these towns only begin to scratch the reef-studded surface of this stunning island nation, just coming into its golden age.

This fragrant destination may boast more spices per mile than anywhere else in the world, but its essence is more complex than that. Nine black-sand shores and 45 white beaches lend visual character to the sensory mix, along with island-wide music and cultural festivals. Taste buds dance in Market Square and Grand Anse restaurants, and for rum connoisseurs, there’s the waterpowered River Antoine Rum Distillery. Nearby, find the solarpowered Grenada Chocolate Company cottage factory, where a Balthazar River tube ride ends with organic cocoa and goat dairy, and fresh-caught seafood served every Friday. After all, all routes lead to water here. A premier yachting center, it’s renowned for game fishing. Experienced divers visit just for the Bianca C, the Caribbean’s largest underwater wreck. Even the plentiful hiking trails lead to multi-tiered waterfalls or back down to beaches, where visitors can go whale- and dolphin-watching or kayaking in quiet Egmont Harbor. In Grenada, you can spice it up however you like.

Jamaica
To the north, Ocho Rios is a popular stop for cruisers, who visit to gape at the 600-foot Dunn’s River Falls; however, staying near Runaway Bay for a few days lets travelers explore the great shopping, gorgeous gardens, and birthplace of Bob Marley, or bobsled down Mystic Mountain or zip through the rainforest. Although Ocho Rios is called the centerpiece of Jamaica, the ”heartbeat” is in Kingston, the vibrant capital at the foot of the Blue Mountains, and the largest English-speaking city south of Miami. Here, a more sophisticated nightlife and cosmopolitan dining await those who are looking for a more up-tempo version of island time. However, just a day-trip eastward lies a secluded and rugged foil, with waterfalls, hidden caves, natural springs and hillside small hotels. Even further off the beaten path is the South Coast, with isolated beaches, 19th century sugar plantations, Georgian architecture, and jungle wetlands veined with rivers. Between them all are the experiences that make sure that ”you come back, mon.”

Not to be outdone, San Juan keeps its spirit young with stylish shopping and dance-heavy nightlife, plus creative fine dining that rivals the grand traditions of New York. Not far is El Yunque—the only tropical rainforest managed by the U.S. Forest Service, featuring three types of forests, two waterfalls, and 30 types of orchids—and Toro Verde Nature Park, home of the Caribbean’s largest zipline and an astounding adventure park. Twenty-three golf courses and billfish-rich seas round out open-air pursuits along with fabulous beaches like Isla Verde, Condado Beach, and Vieques.

Today, the most notable association made of this eight-mile island is as a playground for the world’s elite, where luxe villas are hidden in steep hills and beachfront accommodations put snorkeling, diving, windsurfing, sailing, and fishing within steps. Impressive yachts line the harbor in Gustavia, and fabulous duty-free shopping for the finest in couture goods is never far.

It must have been with a twinge in Christopher Columbus’s heart that he left the place he named after the patron saint of travelers. With over 25% of its land designated as a national park, this island is a treasure trove of wildlife. Untouched dive sites teem with fish of every stripe and color. Mongooses, frigate birds, cattle egrets, and actual cattle roam this rare American oceanic rainforest—one of the only growing rainforests in the world—as vervet monkeys chatter above. Hikes to petroglyphs, Sofa Rock on volcanic Mt. Liamuiga, and the Valley of Giants satisfy adventurers. For all, a 17.5-mile scenic, seasonal train route—the only one in the Caribbean outside of Cuba—over narrow-gauge tracks is unforgettable, and UNESCOdesignated Brimstone Hill Fortress and eight others add even more character to the salt pond-specked landscape just minutes from the capital, Basseterre. With all of this, it’s a wonder visitors even make it to the swimmable golden and black beaches that make the island so alluring.

White coral and brown and black sands swirl together on the western and northern coastlines of this tiny island just two miles from St. Kitts. Like its sister destination, this too is an animal lover’s paradise. On the ground, shaggy donkeys wander with sheep, goats, and mongooses. En route to the 3,232-foot Nevis Peak, trekkers can encounter playful vervet monkeys; at the top, they’re rewarded with a native egret’s-eye view of humpback whales breaking through Caribbean waves, under whose surface lie reefs, wrecks, and giant nesting sea turtles. For a little land, the historical footprint of Nevis is sizeable. Relics of the island’s sugar plantations provide a glimpse of its past, and the birthplace of American statesman Alexander Hamilton—now a museum—gives visitors a peek at where one of our country’s Founding Fathers was himself founded. A lively musical tradition headlined by big drum, string band, and calypso styles takes you out of the past and into the moment.

All airlines concerned are not liable for any claim arising out of or in connection with carriage or other services or features otherwise performed or occurring in connection with this package, except as provided in the conditions of carriage for the airlines and the passenger tickets issued in conjunction with this package. TI is not responsible under any circumstances for any injury or damages you may suffer in connection with your air or ground transportation.
RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENT: Travel Impressions accepts payment by credit and debit cards issued on the following networks: AMERICAN EXPRESS, VISA, MASTERCARD, or DISCOVER. Any other person or entity (including a travel agent) who receives monies from participants does so strictly as an agent of participants.

Failure to provide this information will result in you not being allowed to travel. For details, visit tsa.gov. Once your reservation is confirmed, the amendment and cancellation charges as explained in the Fair Trade Contract apply. When booking with an airline-sponsored credit card, benefits such as free baggage fees which may apply when booking with the airline directly WILL NOT apply to your Travel Impressions vacation.
INTERMEDIARY DISCLOSURE: Travel Impressions assists you in finding travel suppliers and making arrangements that meet your individual needs. We consider various factors in identifying travel suppliers to you and recommending specific itineraries. In this role, we are acting as an independent third party and not as a fiduciary.

CHECK-IN PROCEDURE: Failure to check-in for your flight at the appropriate time may result in denied boarding and a refund may not be granted. Check-in times vary by carrier/airport and all participants are required to check with the carrier for the most current information. LIABILITY STATEMENT: Travel Impressions and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates and representatives (collectively, “TI”), act as agents for independent travel suppliers, such as airlines, hotels and other independent suppliers to provide you with the services you purchase; and is represented in destination by companies organized and existing in that destination, including providers of transportation and excursions. We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for your vacation. However, we do not accept and expressly disclaim any liability for the actions or omissions of these independent suppliers. If you find you have any dispute with such persons, however, we will give you as much reasonable help as we can in resolving a dispute. You understand and agree that TI shall not be liable for any loss, injury, expense or damage to persons or property resulting, directly or indirectly, from the acts or omissions of these independent travel suppliers, including but not limited to delays, overbookings, cancellation of services, cessation of operations, accidents, failures of equipment, or changes in fares, itineraries or schedules. TI cannot control and will not be responsible for bodily injury, property or other damage or loss caused by factors beyond our control, including but not limited to flight delays, airline turbulence, transportation accidents, war, terrorism, weather, quarantine, sickness, government restrictions, regulations or actions, mechanical breakdowns, acts of God, fires, earthquakes, floods, climatic aberrations, acts of civil unrest, strikes, riots, theft, disease or accidents, or failures related to the public internet, telecommunications lines or facilities, or third party technology systems, other unforeseen circumstances, or any other cause beyond our control, including your physical, medical or mental disabilities, your failure to obtain valid travel documents or your failure to follow travel instructions. Under no circumstances shall TI be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages arising from the foregoing. Certain exclusions may not apply in some jurisdictions. Travel Impressions, the airlines and other suppliers it uses, issue tickets, coupons or electronic documents covering transportation, hotel accommodations and other services and facilities. Neither Travel Impressions nor these suppliers, or their respective subagents, shall be held liable for loss or damage to property or injury of person caused by reason of any act, omission, defect or negligence by any other hotel agency, transportation company or party providing such services or facilities.
All prices and features described in Travel Impressions’ promotional materials and website are subject to change without notice. Some hotel room photographs do not depict the standard room category. If any term or provision of this contract is held invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining terms or provisions will not be impaired thereby.
TERMS OF PURCHASE: Please note that separate terms and conditions dictated by the applicable supplier will apply to your reservation and purchase of products and services. You agree to abide by such terms and conditions, including payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the applicable supplier’s policies, rules and restrictions regarding availability and use of fares, products and services. You understand that any violation of any such supplier’s terms, conditions, policies, rules or restrictions may result in (a) your forfeiting any monies paid for such reservation or purchase, (b) cancellation of your reservation or purchase, (c) your being denied access to any flights, hotels or other products or services, and (d) Travel Impressions debiting your account for any costs Travel Impressions incurs as a result of such violation. You acknowledge that you will be responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes and assessments arising out of your purchase of the travel products from Travel Impressions. Travel Impressions works with our suppliers to provide you with the best rates. To pass these values on to our customers, we are prohibited from breaking out individual component prices and will not be able to provide those to you. In the event your hotel is supplied by Travelscape LLC, the terms and conditions at http://developer.ean.com/terms/en/ apply. FLIGHT INFORMATION: Your travel agent will be able to confirm the latest flight details at the time you make your reservation, and these will also appear on the booking confirmation we issue when we receive your deposit. Once your booking is paid in full, we dispatch your electronic documents which will contain your flight information. All times are subject to change. It is your responsibility to reconfirm your flight times prior to departing for the airport. TI assumes no responsibility for any passengers making independent connections to flights booked through Travel Impressions. Pre-assigned seat selection is at the discretion of the air carrier and may require payment of an additional fee. LUGGAGE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY: The baggage allowance and fees vary and are set by each air carrier. Information on carrier baggage policy and fees, liability for lost, misconnected and damaged baggage or other personal property can be obtained through your travel agent, by contacting the air carrier directly, or by requesting them at the airport. For air carrier baggage policies, visit http://content. travimp.com/quest/baggage.html. All lost or damaged luggage must be reported to an airline representative at the destination airport by the passenger before you leave the airport. Some airlines do not cover damage to soft-sided luggage. Checked baggage taken from the terminal building at the destination will be considered to have been received in good condition and no claim for loss or damage will be accepted after baggage has been removed from the terminal. The maximum liability of the ground transportation company in resort for lost or damaged property is $400. Loss or damage must be reported immediately. Travel Impressions does not accept liability for client luggage or personal property. Advice to international passengers on limitation of liability – Passengers embarking upon a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of departure are advised that the provisions of an international treaty (the Warsaw Convention, the 1999 Montreal Convention, or other treaty), as well as a carrier’s own contract of carriage or tariff provisions, may be applicable to their entire journey, including any portion entirely within the countries of departure and destination. The applicable treaty governs and may limit the liability of carriers to passengers for death or personal injury, destruction or loss of, or damage to, baggage, and for delay of passengers and baggage. Additional protection can usually be obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not affected by any limitation of the carrier’s liability under an international treaty. For further information please consult your airline or insurance company representative. For such passengers on a journey to, from, or with an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, the Convention(s) provide (1) that the liability of carriers for death of or personal injury to passengers of up to 113,100 Special Drawing Rights (equal to approximately $175,000) per passenger
shall not depend on negligence on the part of the carrier, and (2) such liability shall be limited to 113,100 Special Drawing Rights (equal to approximately $175,000) per passenger in the absence of negligence or other wrongful act or omission on the part of the carrier. Additional information on Special Drawing Rights is available at www.imf.org. For international travel (including domestic portions of international journeys) to, from, or with an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, liability for loss, delay, or damage to baggage is limited to 1,131 Special Drawing Rights (equal to approximately $1,750) per passenger for all baggage, including carry-on. Excess valuation may be declared on certain types of articles. Further information may be obtained from the carrier. PACKAGE PRICE: The package prices include only items specifically stated in the participant(s) itinerary. Certain secondary features of a package (e.g., cocktail party, free sports, etc.) are based on supplier policy and may be changed, added or deleted after printing of literature. Hotel has the right to substitute services or accommodations in similar categories for items listed in the literature. Foreign government departure taxes, fees and tourist cards may be collected at the destination by the respective government authority. Please be advised that certain mandatory hotel-imposed charges, including, but not limited to, daily resort or facility fees, may be applicable to your stay and payable to the hotel at check- out from the property. You may wish to inquire with the hotel before your trip regarding the existence and amount of such charges. The Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) has defined air transportation, tour or tour component as purchased when the full amount of that air transportation, tour or tour component has been paid by the consumer. Our intention is to provide you with the vacation which you have selected, at the price in effect at time of booking. Pre-purchase price increases (increases to a vacation package without full payment on the record) including but not limited to an increase in the price of the air seat, an increase in the price for the carriage of the passenger baggage, an increase in the applicable fuel surcharge, or an increase in a government imposed tax or fee may apply. If for any reason we have to increase the price of your vacation, including an error made in computing your price, we will offer you the option of cancellation without charge, provided that you advise us within seven days of your receipt of notice of the increase. Post-purchase price increases (increases to a vacation package that has full payment on the record) are prohibited except for those increases related to government imposed taxes and fees. Change fees do not constitute an increase in the price of an already purchased ticket, as technically the consumer is purchasing a new ticket for new travel. CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS: Special features offered by hotels are subject to change at the hotel’s discretion. In the unlikely event that a major change involving a pre-departure change of hotel, departure or return date, departure city or destination becomes necessary, we will notify you as soon as possible via the contact information in the booking. If the number of individuals occupying a room changes due to an amendment or cancellation, the remaining travelers will be responsible for any additional costs incurred as a result of a change in the per person occupancy rate. If all passengers change it is considered a new booking and cancellation penalties will apply. Suppliers’ cancellation provisions on optional tours only allow a refund if cancelled with the notice required by the supplier - see the excursion company for the applicable notice provisions or to arrange a refund. To cover your cancellation and change fees, you may purchase the Travel Protection Plus which must be included in the deposit or at time of booking. Nonrefundable hotels are not covered by the Cancel for Any Reason portion of Travel Protection Plus. Cancel and Change policy for Bulk/Contracted Air Packages, Published Air Packages and Land Only charge per person ($) including taxes and fuel surcharges.

The rights and remedies made available herein are in addition to any others available under applicable law. However, Travel Impressions offers refunds under this agreement with the express understanding that endorsement of a refund by participant(s) constitutes a waiver of any such additional rights and remedies against Travel Impressions.

Violation of these restrictions will result in imprisonment and financial penalties. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RESTRICTIONS AND INSECTICIDE NOTICE: The FAA has issued “Hazardous Materials Restrictions” effective as of Jan. 1, 2015 - Federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft in your luggage or on your person. A violation can result in five years’ imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 or more (49 U.S.C. 5124). Hazardous materials include explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives and radioactive materials. Examples: Paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear gases, oxygen bottles, and radio-pharmaceuticals. There are special exceptions for small quantities (up to 70 ounces total) of medicinal and toilet articles carried in your luggage and certain smoking materials carried on your person. Special restrictions and limitations for transporting Hazardous Materials and specifically Lithium Ion batteries, refer to www.faa.gov/go/ packsafe for more information. In the event a carry-on bag cannot be accommodated in the passenger cabin and has to be placed below in a cargo bin for any reason, any electronic device or spare Lithium-ion or any other type of battery permitted in carry-on baggage MUST be removed from the carry-on bag and remain in the possession of the passenger in the passenger cabin. For further information, contact your airline representative. Some countries may require aircraft cabin insecticide treatment for in-bound foreign flights. A list of such countries is available at https://www.transportation.gov/airconsumer/spray. REQUIRED ENTRY/RE-ENTRY DOCUMENTATION : Proper documentation is your responsibility. The following information gives current requirements for United States citizens, effective at time of printing. This information may change, so see your travel agent or contact the consulate for the country to which you are traveling for current requirements. Passengers returning to the U.S. by air from any international destination must have a valid passport, and may be denied boarding by the airline if the passport is damaged, mutilated, or has excessive wear. A “Passport Card” is not acceptable. If your name on your passport (or for non-U.S. citizens, valid travel documents) does not match your name on your travel vouchers/tickets, you will not be allowed to travel. A passport valid for a minimum of 3 months past the date of arrival is required for U.S. citizens traveling to Panama. For details on how to obtain a passport, contact your local courthouse or post office. If you are not a U.S. citizen, contact the embassy of the country to which you are traveling to determine required entry documents. We regret that we cannot accept unaccompanied minors under 18 for any travel. Failure to comply with the above requirements will result in you not being allowed to travel. Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act established minimum ID security standards and prohibits federal agencies, like TSA, from accepting licenses and identification cards for official purposes from states that do not meet these standards. Passengers with a driver’s license issued by a state that is not compliant with the REAL ID ACT (and has not been granted an extension) will need to show an alternative form of acceptable identification for domestic air travel to board their flight. To check whether your state is compliant or has an extension, visit https:// www.dhs.gov/real-id. If your state-issued ID or driver’s license is not compliant, visit https://www.tsa.gov/travel/ security-screening/identification for alternate forms of acceptable ID. DENIAL OF ENTRY: Certain countries may deny entry to travelers with even a minor criminal record, and if not a U.S. citizen, entry back into the U.S. Check with the U.S. Embassy and the embassy or consulate of the country being visited to ensure you can travel as planned. Travel Impressions does not accept responsibility if you are denied entry and cancellation penalties apply. TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN: Some airlines do not charge for infants under two years of age, but the infant must sit on an adult’s lap. Some airlines charge for infants or infant air-related taxes. Some countries charge infant departure taxes. If an infant reaches the age of two at any time during the vacation, federal law requires the purchase of a separate seat for any remaining portions of the flight. Mexican-born minors under 18 years of age traveling alone or with someone other than a parent or legal guardian, require special documentation to depart Mexico, even if the Minor is a Dual Mexican Citizen. For details, contact the Mexican embassy or visit: https://mx.usembassy.gov/implementation-ofmexican-regulations-regardingminor-travel. If your reservation includes children at a hotel not accepting children, you will be denied check-in at resort and will be responsible for any additional costs. Hotels may check passports to verify that children qualify for any discounted rate, and any applicable added charges are your responsibility. Child ages apply at time of travel, not at time of booking. Restrictions apply to “Kids Stay, Play and Eat FREE” programs. Children must be accompanied by fullpaying adults. At select hotels, a single parent traveling with up to three children may not be charged the single supplement. The hotels reserve the right to collect the single supplement in resort, or cancel any extra room upon arrival, if the promotional policy is not used in the manner for which it was intended. Restrictions apply. HEALTH AND SAFETY TIPS: While most travel—domestic and international—is completed without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve more risk than travel to other destinations. Balcony railing heights in Mexico are lower than the mandated heights in the United States, and also may be lower in other countries. Low balcony railings create a risk of falls which may result in serious injury
or death. Use common sense while vacationing abroad. For example, if you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation. In addition, be cognizant of the effects of mixing alcohol and certain medications. Should someone in your party become ill while on vacation, alert the resort front desk for immediate medical attention or call the emergency number provided by the resort. Also advise your Travel Agent as soon as possible, who may be able to provide assistance. If you have medical issues or concerns about medical services, Travel Impressions urges you to contact your hotel with specific questions. Please be aware that medical standards and training of emergency responders and resort medical facilities vary greatly, and health care abroad may not be the same as you might expect at home. It may be standard policy for hospitals and medical providers abroad to require cash payment upfront for services. Check with your insurance provider regarding claims for reimbursement. Sports and aquatic equipment, especially scuba gear, may not meet U.S. safety standards and many resort pools and beaches may lack lifeguards. In tropical climates, we strongly recommend the use of insect repellent, especially during rainy season; seek shade in order to avoid heat exhaustion, and stay hydrated. Bottled drinking water is recommended. Travel Impressions urges passengers to review current travel advisories, warnings and restrictions issued by the U.S. government before booking any travel. For details, visit www.travel.state.gov, www.tsa.gov, www. dot.gov, www.faa.gov, www.cdc.gov, www.treas.gov/ofac and www. customs.gov. BY OFFERING FOR SALE TRAVEL TO PARTICULAR DESTINATIONS, TRAVEL IMPRESSIONS DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT TRAVEL TO SUCH DESTINATIONS IS SAFE, ADVISABLE OR WITHOUT RISK, AND IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LOSSES THAT MAY RESULT FROM TRAVEL TO SUCH DESTINATIONS. MEXICO - ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY TOURIST ECO TAX: In an effort to continue to preserve, conserve and beautify the destinations, the following municipalities have implemented small environmental levies, payable at your hotel upon hotel check-in or check-out: Municipality of Benito Juarez & Municipality of Puerto Morelos (Cancun/Riviera Cancun)/ Municipality of Solidaridad, Riviera Maya/ Municipality of Cozumel Quintana Roo — hotels will collect approximately 25 Mexican pesos per room, per night.
