Peace of Mind Pledge
With nearly four decades’ experience operating tours, together with our excellent supplier and partnership relationships, you can rest assured that we are well-prepared to ensure your safety and wellbeing.
Many countries are opening and travel to and from your favourite destinations is much simpler. However, we recognise that some customers feel a little uncertain, want to feel secure and understand your flexible booking options prior to booking and in advance of their departure. For your reassurance, we have an eight-point Peace of Mind Pledge. For the most updated version of our Peace of Mind Pledge, please see www.newmarketholidays.co.uk/wellbeing
