About THG Holidays

THG Recommended

THG Holidays is a tour operator specialising in providing bespoke holidays to suit the needs of our customers. We started trading as part of the Thomson Travel Group in 2000 when we first developed a limited programme to Bali. Since this time we have grown steadily and increased our programme to meet the needs of our customers. The one thing that has remained constant is that we will only enter a market that we are specialist in and are confident that we will add value to our customers.

Throughout the brochure you will find a selection of hotels which carry a THG seal of approval and enjoy the accolade of a THG Recommended property. This means that all hotels meet with the following criteria:

In 2007, following a review of future strategy the THG Holidays business was bought by the existing management team and is now proud to be a truly independent tour operating business. As part of such a large and prestigious travel group the business enjoyed strong business relationships, followed best business practice and has built a good reputation for quality, expertise and service. This background will allow us to build for future growth and we believe gives us a real competitive edge in the market. We are a small, friendly and fast moving business with the inherent pedigree and business practices of a large and well respected former parent.

Our Proposition THG Holidays are tailor-made holiday specialists and offer travel solutions to the Far East, Middle East, Indian Ocean and North America. All destinations featured showcase our superb product knowledge and passion for travel. If you require further information on any of our featured destination visit our website www.thgholidays.co.uk or call one of our specialist advisors.

• Has been visited by at least one member of the team • Has a zero complaint rate • Has all the facilities required for an enjoyable stay • Enjoys a good location • We have a direct relationship with the hotel and are confident we can resolve any issues should they arise during your stay

Multi-Centre Holidays The perfect way to get the essence of a country or region is to visit several parts or undertake a tour in one trip. THG Holidays are tailor-made holiday specialists and can put together any departure, duration and destination to suit your requirements. We are seeing a growing trend in consumer holiday habits to be more adventurous and visit more than one area in a single trip. The more you think about this the more it makes sense after all it is much more cost effective to do more in a single trip than return to the destination a few years later. Unlike some of our competitors we work on an open page policy and create a travel itinerary based on what the customer wants to buy rather than what the tour operator wants to sell.

Please ask for it and check to ensure that everything you booked (flights, hotels and other services) is listed on it.

April through October is generally the dry season. It is still humid and there are brief rain falls but it is light compared to the rainy season that lasts from November until March. The winter months are generally cloudier, even more humid and with a greater chance of more intense afternoon and evening thunderstorms. The warmest Menjangan Island months are in October and November. Lovina Beach

INDOCHINA

Vietnam - Although many westerners still imagine Vietnam through the lens of war, it is in reality a country filled with captivating natural beauty and tranquil village life.

Cambodia - Cambodia has endured more than it's fair share of conflict in the past, notably under the Khmer Rouge.

Vietnam is a verdant tapestry of soaring mountains, fertile deltas, primeval forests inhabited by exotic fauna, sinuous rivers, mysterious caves and rock formations, and heavenly waterfalls and beaches. Beyond nature, the curious and open-minded visitor will find in Vietnam a feast of culture and history.

However, this regime has long since vanished and is no longer a concern. Despite it's tragic past the people of Cambodia are pragmatic and optimistic in shaping the future of their country. They have embraced the tourism industry,(now the second largest foreign currency earner in their economy) and today Cambodia is an exciting, exotic holiday destination with much to offer the curious visitor.

Climate Vietnam has a tropical monsoon climate with wet and dry seasons. The seasons vary from north to south and with differing elevations. Generally the dry season lasts from November to April. The coolest and driest times to visit Vietnam are as follows: North (Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa) October to January, Central Highlands (Hoi An, Hue, Nha Trang) February to April South (Ho Chi Minh City, Phan Thiet) Late December to March

Airlines Which Operate to Indochina Direct Flights to Indochina

Climate Cambodia lies completely within the tropics therefore it has a tropical monsoon climate. The weather is hot all year round with little variation. Dry season is between November and April. This is the most pleasant time to travel. Temperatures peak in April whilst November, December and January are much cooler. 75% of Cambodia's rain falls between May and October however rain tends to fall in short bursts of an hour or two so it's possible to plan around the wet weather.

INDIAN OCEAN

Mauritius - Located off the South West Coast of the Indian Ocean, the diverse island of Mauritius brings together French, Indian, Chinese and Creole influences. Renowned for its world-class hotels and unrivalled hospitality, Mauritius is silhouetted by striking mountains and offers inspiring beaches and indigo waters, combined with the most incredible mix of cultures and flavours found in the Indian Ocean. The real beauty of Mauritius is its wild interior, mountains, waterfalls, lush forests and endemic wildlife. Snorkelling, kite-surfing and scuba diving are popular water sports alongside hiking in the Black River Gorges National Park. More generally, Mauritius sets itself apart through continued year-round balmy weather, and minimal time difference as against many long haul destinations. Mauritius is truly the ultimate island escape, offering luxurious accommodation, world-class golf courses, spas and warm hospitality. Climate Mauritius has a tropical climate with coastal temperatures ranging from around 23 degrees to 30 degrees celsius while island temperatures are three to five degrees cooler. The western and northern regions are warmer and relatively drier and less humid than the east and south. Winter (May-October) is warm and dry while summer (November-April) is hot, humid and rainier, especially in January-March. Although rarely any cyclones will be in January and February.

Maldives - Welcome to the Maldives, where sands are as white as the smiles of the locals. A place where fish swim happily in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, where the weather is a dream, and the deep rays of the sun wait to engulf you. The Maldives lies in two rows of atolls in the Indian Ocean, just across the equator. The country is made up of 1,190 coral islands formed around 26 natural ring-like atolls, spread over 90,000 square kilometers. These unique atoll structures are formed upon a sharp ridge rising from the ocean, making way for their secluded uniqueness. Each atoll in the Maldives is made of a coral reef encircling a lagoon, with deep channels dividing the reef ring. A string of islands take their places among this atoll ring; each island has its own reef encircling the island lagoon. The reefs of the islands, alive with countless types of underwater creatures and vibrant corals, protect the islands from wind and wave action of the surrounding vast oceans. This unique structure of reefs and channels makes navigation almost impossible for the passer-by without sufficient information about these waters. Climate The weather in the Maldives is usually picture perfect: sunlit days, breezy nights, balmy mornings, and iridescent sunsets. The temperature hardly ever changes - which makes packing for your holiday an easy task. With the average temperature at about 30 degrees celsius throughout the year, the sun is a constant on most days, shining through treetops, creating lacy patterns on your feet, healing cold-bones with its warmth. Maldives has two distinct seasons; dry season (northeast monsoon) and wet season (southwest monsoon), with the former extending from January to March and the latter from mid-May to November.

Flight Details Your invoice will show the latest planned flight time available to us at the time of your booking. Your confirmed flight times will be shown on your tickets. Where you have been issued an e ticket, your confirmed flight times will be shown on your itinerary. We recommend that you re confirm your flight time with the airline prior to travel as occasionally airlines may change flight times at short notice. Whilst abroad we recommend that you reconfirm your onward and return flight times within 72 hours before departure as we cannot be held responsible for any changes in flight times once you have left the UK. Brochure accuracy and special offers Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of description, information and prices, however it is possible that an advertised facility may be withdrawn or changed. Whenever practical, we will advise of such changes. We attempt to ensure that information provided is accurate, however some information comes direct from suppliers and we cannot therefore guarantee the accuracy of this information. Errors and omissions We will do our best to correct errors and omissions as quickly as practicable after being notified of them. However, because of the technology that is required to operate a travel website there may be times where obvious errors occur. This may result in a price, product, service or other detail presented being incorrect. In this case we reserve the right to cancel the contract, but with no liability to you. Special requests Requests for adjacent or non-smoking rooms, etc should be made at the time of booking. Whilst making every effort to obtain such facilities, we cannot guarantee their provision and such requests form no part of the contract. To

eliminate error, specific airline seating arrangements, meal requests and any wheelchair requests should be made by passengers directly with the airline. It should be noted that your air ticket provides you with transportation from your point of departure to your point of arrival and is no guarantee of a particular seat aboard which the airline reserves the right to change, even after confirmation. Advance Registration Scheduled airlines generally do not have their seats loaded on global distribution systems to sell until 11 months prior to departure. If this applies to you we will inform you at the time of booking and we will calculate the price in anticipation that the seats will be available in the specific booking class to which our negotiated fares apply. We will issue you with a proposed invoice showing the arrangements to be confirmed, we will take a deposit from you but a contract will not exist between us. When the airline seats become available to book we will inform you of the correct price based on what is available should this be different to the original quote. You then have the choice to accept the booking at the revised price quoted or cancel in which case a full refund will be issued. Once you accept the price a confirmation invoice will be issued and then a contract will exist between us. Travel insurance Before you go on holiday you must take out adequate travel insurance. We strongly recommend that you take out insurance cover once you have booked your holiday. If you chose not to purchase our travel insurance you must provide us with details of your travel policy including the name of the policy provider, policy number and the 24 hour emergency help line number. We will be unable to issue your travel documents until we have received these details. Pre-travel Advice The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) travel advice unit may have issued information about your holiday destination. You are advised to check this information on the internet at www.fco.gov.uk. Alternatively you can contact ABTA Information Department on 01901 201 5050 (calls charged at 50p/minute). It is our company policy to follow FCO advice pertaining to your destination. Complaints Although unlikely, it is possible that problems can occur whilst on holiday, and in most instances these can be resolved, provided you take action straight away. It is therefore essential that you try to resolve the problem with the relevant supplier (eg hotel, car rental company, airline) immediately so that the matter can be put right. If the supplier can not resolve the problem to your satisfaction, at the time, you must also contact the Company’s Customer Service Department immediately by telephoning +44 (0) 1792 483320 or 07973 371221 (out of hours), so that the company is given the opportunity to help. In the event that a complaint cannot be resolved at the time, you must write within 28 days of your return to the Customer Services Department at Exchange Buildings, Adelaide Street, Swansea, SA1 1SE. Please give full written details of your complaint and quote your booking reference number on all correspondence. Failure to take these steps will hinder the Company’s ability to resolve the problem and/or investigate it fully and in consequence, any right to compensation you may have will be extinguished or, at the very least, substantially reduced. Weather Global weather patterns are becoming increasingly volatile and unpredictable, we cannot be held responsible for disruption to your holiday due to unusual or bad weather conditions. Passports and Visa Please ensure that you are aware of all passport and visa requirements for your trip and that you allow adequate time to obtain the required documents. Please note that many countries require that your passport is valid for 6 months beyond the period of your stay. Requirements can change and it is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with applicable passport, visa and health requirements and take all necessary documents with you to gain access to any country or region to which you make travel arrangements. If you fail to do so, you will be solely responsible for any cost, loss, or damage which you or the company incurs as a result of your failure. Financial Security The Package Travel Regulations 1992 require us to provide security for the monies that you pay for the package holidays booked from our brochure/website and for your repatriation in the unlikely event of our insolvency. We provide this security with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) under ATOL number 9524. If you book arrangements other than a package holiday (eg accommodation only), the financial protection referred to above does not apply. When you buy an ATOL protected air holiday package from THG Holidays you will receive a confirmation invoice from us confirming your arrangements and your protection under our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number 9524. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any monies you have paid to us for an advanced booking. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk We are a member of ABTA, membership number W6991. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you an arbitration scheme for the resolution of disputes arising out of, or in connection with this contract. Further information on the Code and this arbitration scheme can be found on ABTA’s website www.abta.com. Conditions When you travel by air or by water the transport companies ‘Conditions of Carriage’ will apply to your journey. You can get a copy of any conditions from our Administration Department.
