Spotlight on...
the Far East
W
hen we talk of the Far East we’re referring to a vast swathe of the earth’s surface covering east and South East Asia, a region of bewildering diversity, incredible beauty and extraordinary historical and cultural wealth. Magical holiday memories await whichever destination you choose to discover.
Bangkok
Welcome to the ‘Land of Smiles’
Think of colour… in Thailand every shade of the spectrum is represented from golden temples and emerald paddy fields to sapphire seas and saffron robes worn by the Buddhist monks. The beauty of Thailand is that it’s a country of sharp contrasts; tranquil beaches, buzzing cities, cultural highs and fascinating history. Your first impression of Bangkok is likely to be a sense-assaulting barrage of noise, colour, activity and traffic. But away from the frenetic streets and bustling markets lie calm temples, still and peaceful and magnificently decorated. Bangkok is an ideal starting point to enjoy a city break before heading to the beautiful beaches and serene islands in the south of the country. City, beach, both? Thailand has it all.
Krabi
Be intrigued in Indochina Comprising Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos; Indochina is a region with a deep and intriguing history, blended with eastern culture and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. In Cambodia discover beautiful stretches of untouched coastline combined with huge lakes with floating villages and mangrove swamps. The highlight of this fascinating country is the UNESCO World Heritage Listed Angkor Wat – a collection of vast thousand-year old temples hidden in the depths of jungles. In Vietnam take a cultural journey in the cities of Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi and delve into the rich heritage of times gone by. Then make your way to the contrasting rural areas of terraced slopes, beautiful beaches and traditional villages.
Vietnam
Magical Malaysia If you’re looking to combine adventure with relaxation, ancient architecture with a modern metropolis and city streets with sandy beaches, then look no further than Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur boasts some of the tallest skyscrapers in South East Asia which sit proudly next to historic temples and sites of cultural significance. While the islands of Penang and Langkawi offer vast stretches of white sandy beaches and unspoilt paradise. Over in Borneo the landscapes and wildlife will take your breath away. Famous for its endangered orang-utans a visit here is rarely complete without time spent with these fascinating mammals. 6
Singapore

Borneo
Slick, sharp and diverse, the small but mighty main island of Singapore offers a tantalising taste of the surrounding region, blending the tastes, sights and smells of China, Malaysia and Indonesia. Singapore actually consists of 63 islands, including the main island. Don’t miss a visit to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, home to 40 per cent of the nation’s flora and fauna.

There are a number of different climates PACIFIC OCEAN across the Far East to match the many varied landscapes, from mountains to beaches. Weather can also vary dramatically in one country, for instance in Thailand it can be the hottest month in Phuket while in Chiang Mai it’s rainy season. Typically high season is classed as January to August and December with dry, cool weather. March and November are the shoulder seasons where the hottest weather begins and the low season falls between September and October as the wet weather descends.

If you’re in search of endless blue skies, golden sands as far as the eye can see, with some rainforests and volcanoes thrown in for good measure, look no further than Bali. It’s worth taking the time to explore the city’s historical, multi-cultural, traditional and religious gems. Swim in the clear waters of the area’s beautiful waterfalls, visit the Turtle Conservation and Education Centre, choose one of the remarkable temples to explore or for a literal taste of Bali, book an Indonesian cooking class. The spectacular islands of the Gili Isles offer a slice of picture perfect paradise. Snorkel the stunning coral reefs by day and watch the sunset with a cocktail by night.
Philippines
Prepare for the Philippines Searching for adventure, culture, fun or simple relaxation on powder white sands?... whatever your reason to go, the Philippines will not disappoint. Once there it be will impossible not to get swept up in sweet island life, so much so you’ll never want to leave.
Head to Hong Kong, hop to Macao Hong Kong is often described as the place where ‘east meets west’ due to the cultural mix of its Chinese roots and influences from its time as a British colony. Take in a bird’s-eye view of Hong Kong, take the tram up to the top of the Victoria Peak. If it’s a clear day you’ll have a fabulous photo opportunity. Just a short ferry ride away lies the fascinating and vibrant Macao, often referred to as the ‘Las Vegas of Asia’ thanks to its glittering casinos and giant shopping malls.

Pattaya, Jomtien, Koh Samet & Koh Chang Essentials Flight time Approximately 12 hours GMT +7 hours Climate information can be found in the Essential Information pages at the back of this brochure.
Beach resort and entertainment mecca, Pattaya is Thailand’s playground, while neighbouring Jomtien offers a similar experience at a slightly slower pace. The get-away island of Koh Samet has the country’s most beautiful beaches, while Koh Chang offers white sandy coves and a laidback atmosphere. Pattaya Renowned for its lively atmosphere and scores of evening entertainment, Pattaya welcomes locals and travellers alike with fun, sun and endless white sand beaches fringed by warm waters. There are also a growing number of cultural attractions, such as Wat Phra Yai Temple, and plentiful shopping and dining options.
Jomtien Located south of Pattaya, Jomtien is a quieter resort with six kilometres of pristine beach and clear, uncluttered waters. Whilst a day at the beach is a day well spent, there are also a multitude of other activities to see and explore such as the Botanical Gardens, water parks and religious sites.
Koh Samet Be charmed by sandy shores, crescent bays and aquamarine waters in Koh Samet, which despite its recent popularity has retained a sense of local island life. Explore the underwater coral reefs, dine on delicious, fresh seafood and sip a cooling cocktail as the sun sets.
Koh Chang White sand beaches frame Koh Chang, the largest of the islands in eastern Thailand, but inland a dense jungle contains hidden hiking trails and scenic waterfalls. The coast is dotted with pretty beaches and quaint villages, while offshore coral reefs house an underwater world teeming with marine life.

Getting around Phuket: Local tuk-tuks and taxis are easy to come by and many hotels operate shuttle buses to Phuket Town and other beaches. Koh Phi Phi: There are no roads on Koh Phi Phi so most transportation is by long-tail boat.

Getting around Myanmar is a deceptively large country and few roads are of good quality, so flights are the quickest way to cover longer distances. Where flying is not an option we suggest private vehicles or river journeys. The train network is fairly extensive but is not comfortable and rarely convenient. Vehicles used in Myanmar are generally of an older manufacturing date (which can be 10 to 15 years back) as the import of new vehicles is currently not possible or prohibitively expensive, given the current economic situation in Myanmar.
Myanmar Steeped in history and retaining its local traditions and values, Myanmar is an extraordinary land bathed in natural beauty. From intriguing religious sites, to breathtaking scenery, traditional modes of transport and engaging and humorous locals, you’ll be mesmerised from the moment you arrive.
Bagan Less famous than the temples at Angkor or Borobodur, Bagan is unquestionably one of the ‘must sees’ in Asia. An ancient capital, it is also one of the richest archaeological sites in South East Asia. Bagan preserves over 2,000 well renovated pagodas and temples and is also known as the cradle of Myanmar’s culture.
Yangon The former capital of Myanmar is still the largest city and commercial hub of the country. This energetic city is home to the iconic Shwedagon Pagoda, the most sacred site for Burmese Buddhists, and amongst the throngs orange-robed monks are easy to spot. Explore stimulating markets, search for precious stones and admire stately buildings.
Inle Lake The shallow waters of Inle Lake are home to the Intha people, who actually live on the lake, building their houses on stilts and travelling across the lake using their unique style of leg rowing. At 1,328m above sea level, this vast picturesque lake is a mesmerising beauty best known for its floating villages and gardens.
Mandalay The capital of the Burmese kingdom before the colonial era, Mandalay is Myanmar’s second largest city. The old Royal Palace boasts finely built walls and beautiful moats surrounding the fortresslike structure. Nearby, there are several ancient capitals where the Kongboung Dynasty kings established their capitals. 87

Indochina Vietnam beaches Danang beach
Vietnam beaches Getting there The majority of Vietnam’s beaches are reached via flights into Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, followed by a road transfer or short internal flight.
Vietnam boasts more than 3,400kms of coastline, with endless stretches of fine sand, coves, lagoons, stunning formations and islands ringed with yet more beaches. Why not combine a beautiful beach retreat with a stay in the city? See our top city suggestions on pages 109 - 110.
Hoi An Hoi An has to this day well preserved its most sacred treasure, the centuries-old architecture. Besides the charm of the ancient town, Hoi An’s beach is calm, quiet and alluring in its own way. Make sure you take a day trip to Cham Island, located 18km offshore from Hoi An, for its unspoiled landscape that can find no match in the rest of Vietnam.
Nha Trang Be totally awed by the blue water of Nha Trang’s beach. The bay is among the world’s top ten and there are many affordable resorts and hotels ideal for a long stay around the bay. Nha Trang Beach is the most famous beach in Vietnam for both blissful nature and the enthusiastic atmosphere. Go islandhopping on a boat cruise, try snorkelling and diving, or right on the beachfront sits the Phu Dong waterpark.
Ho Tram This is a relatively new resort just a two hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City and is perfect for a relaxing beach break. Enjoy unspoiled waters with a large and wide beach of clear sand. Ho Tram also provides local excursions to Binh Chau Hot Springs famous for its relaxing mud baths and curative hot mineral springs.
102
Phan Theit & Mui Ne A four hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City, Mui Ne is a coastal resort town in Phan Thiet. Mui Ne is famous for its enormous red and white sand dunes and a visit to see them is a must. With strong sea breezes, Mui Ne is also most famous for kite and wind surfing.
Phu Quoc Phu Quoc is a small island just off Vietnam, easily reached by a two hour internal flight from Hanoi, while from Ho Chi Minh City, the flight time is about 40 minutes. Not only is it endowed with picturesque coasts and various sea creatures, Phu Quoc has other cultural and natural heritages that captivate the hearts of holiday makers who are looking for a wider variety of landscapes.
Danang Danang is becoming a top destination on Vietnam’s ‘must-visit’ list. Danang Beach has wonderful stretches of white soft sand, crisp sunshine and pure air together with idyllic lines of coconut palm trees, providing perfect shade for sunbathing. What is more, the beach is also endowed with lovely coral, ample greenery and creatures both under sea and along the bank.

Then hop on a cyclo to explore the colonial quarter, central market and Post Office. After that visit Wat Phnom, the founding place of the city on a small hilltop then head to the riverside area of Phnom Penh, a pleasant French style promenade that is great for watching the world go by.

This afternoon, visit Ta Prohm, the temple that has been left largely in its natural state since its ‘re-discovery’ by French explorers.

Inside the temple, the walls are covered with stone carvings and bas-reliefs depicting Hindu mythology and the wars Suryavarman II fought during his reign. Angkor Wat is well known for the more than 2,000 Apsara dancers decorating the temple. At sunset, it is less visited, and the Apsaras will shine in the most beautiful light.

Day 2 O Siem Reap Start your day with a tour to the temples of the Small Circuit. The most famous among these is Ta Prohm temple.

Day 1 O Bangkok Check in at the Hualampong Station to begin your journey on the Eastern & Oriental Express. Stewards in exquisite Thai uniforms await to welcome you aboard, their hands pressed together in a gracious wai gesture – a promise of the memorable journey to come. Settle into your private cabin as you dress for dinner, then make your way to the Bar Car for cocktails before proceeding to the Restaurant Car to savour the delightful meal presented by the team of chefs. Day 2 O Kanchanaburi Morning reveals the tranquil expanse of lush jungles and winding rivers which set the surrounding scene for the town of Kanchanaburi. After breakfast on board, you will disembark from the train and set off for your chosen excursion: guided visit to the River Kwai Bridge and Thai-Burma Railway Museum; biking through rice paddies with a stop at a local farm or a tour of the wet market and a cooking class. Depart Kanchanaburi and lunch is served on board soon after, while the train continues on the journey southwards. Spend a relaxing day at leisure, in your cabin catching the scenery out of the
window and enjoying afternoon tea, or in the Observation Car watching the colours of the sky change with the setting of the sun. Dinner is served, and afterwards, enjoy a digestif in the Bar Car.

Lombok & The Gili Islands Lombok Island
Lombok & The Gili Islands
Lombok Similar in size and taking its cultural heritage from Bali, Lombok is less developed but offers a number of boutique resorts providing quality accommodation, food and drink, next to relatively unspoilt landscapes – spectacular volcanoes, stunning white sand beaches and a mesmerising underwater world.
To the east of Bali lies Lombok – blessed with exquisite white sand beaches, epic surf, a lush forested interior and hiking trails. Just off the northwest coast of Lombok lie the beautiful Gili Islands – perfect for a day trip or extended break.
The Gili Islands A collection of three islands off the northwest tip of Lombok are one of its most popular tourist destinations. Very relaxed, there are no cars or motorbikes to disturb you but there are countless beachside cafés. Gili Trawangen is the largest and by far the most cosmopolitan, with a vibrant party scene. Gili Air has the strongest local character and Gili Meno is the epitome of a desert-island getaway.
GILI ISLANDS BALI LOMBOK
Gili Meno
Getting there: Lombok: Transfers from Bali are available via a 30 minute flight into Lombok or a one hour boat service from Padang Bai Harbour.
Don’t leave without O Witnessing the sunrise on Mount Rinjani and taking in the spectacular view of Segara Anak Lake and the island of Lombok stretching far below O Exploring the world under the waves – home to over 3,500 marine species including turtles, pygmy seahorses and colourful corals O Going on a biking tour taking in the scenery, rice fields and stunning coastlines, and witnessing local life along the way in the traditional villages
Gili Islands: Most visitors travel to the Gili Islands by boat from Bali or Lombok. A 30 minute fast boat ride from Bangsal Harbour in the northwest mainland of Lombok takes you to the neighbouring Gili Trawangan, the largest of the islands. From here, there is a connecting island hopper service for the 15 minute trip to Gili Meno. Please note that you cannot book a transfer directly from the Gili Islands to Bali to connect with an international flight as timings do not make this possible.

In contrast, Macao’s southern countryside of picturesque hills and rural villages, valleys and beaches offers a slower pace. Out and about The Macao Tower offers tremendous views across the Pearl River Delta along with the world’s highest bungy jump! Other attractions include the Science Centre and a variety of museums, celebrating everything from history and art to motor racing and wine. Macao’s food is legendary – along with Portuguese, Chinese and all kinds of international cuisines is the local food, which combines influences from both China and Portugal as well as South America, Africa and India.

SECTION 3 - GROUND ARRANGEMENTS Accommodation Every effort has been made to describe each hotel and standard room accommodation we feature as fairly and accurately as possible. Nevertheless, hoteliers may change facilities/services after publication of this brochure. We expect hoteliers to inform us of any major changes without delay and, where possible, we will inform you prior to departure. Meals as specified are included only where stated; all other arrangements are on a room only basis. Accommodation is priced per person based on twin share occupancy unless otherwise stated. Please ask our reservations staff at the time of booking for exact details. When we mention room types in our brochure, in most cases you can expect to receive a room similar to that described below. Please note however that whilst room categories in different hotels may have the same or similar names, the criteria for their classification is likely to differ, as these are the names the hotels use and they do not have standard definitions. Every effort has been made to ensure that the hotels and other accommodation featured in this brochure are correctly represented and will fulfil your expectations for quality and service. It is important to note that, where used; the star classification system is our own and does not conform to any internationally recognised system. The rating, in our opinion, reflects a true representation of the merits of each property. Inevitably, standards will differ slightly between the many destinations which we feature. Shared Accommodation On most escorted and independent tours featured, a single room costs more. However, on selected tours we can sometimes offer shared accommodation in a twin room with another single person, giving you the benefit of not having to pay a single supplement. This is subject to someone suitable being willing to share. Otherwise, a normal supplement will be charged on your confirmation invoice. If you are willing to share, please indicate this when booking. Single Supplements If a single person occupies a double room they will usually be asked to pay extra (a single supplement). Hotels price their rooms as doubles and they do not reduce the rates if they are occupied by a single person. The costs to the hotel of providing the room – heating, lighting, cleaning etc. are the same regardless of how many people occupy that room. The prices we charge reflect the costs of under occupancy of the rooms contracted to us by the hotel, we do not mark up these supplements. Room Types Information In all types of accommodation described below, if there are less than the maximum number of persons in your own party, the room type may contain less than the maximum number of beds indicated. Hotel Rooms A ‘double’ is a room with a double bed. A ‘twin’ is a room with two single beds. A ‘single’ or ‘twin for sole use’ is a room with one or two single beds. A double bed may be two single beds with double bedding. Single rooms are often smaller, may not have a balcony and may not be of the same general standard as normal twin rooms. Some hotels have rooms, which sleep up to 4 persons. Room layout may consist of up to 4 separate beds or a combination of double, twin, camp beds, sofa beds or rollaway beds. In some hotels 3rd and 4th beds may be only suitable for a child, but in other hotels there may be a reduction available if 4 adults share the room. Rooms for up to 4 persons may not be any larger than standard twin or double rooms so space is likely to limited and the room may be cramped. Where rooms do accept extra beds, some hotels may require an additional local charge to be paid which can vary by destination, e.g. rollaway bed in USA – please ask for details when you book. Though we will do our best to help, please note that we cannot guarantee the room configuration or type of beds that you will be provided with. Please note, for accommodation in some parts of the USA, especially Las Vegas, there must be at least one person aged 21 years old or above travelling on the booking and present when checking in. Please check requirements before booking. Suites/Junior Suites/Villas A Suite and Junior Suite usually contain a lounge/living area. A Suite is likely to contain a separate sleeping area whereas a Junior Suite the
sleeping area may not be completely separate. Room layouts can vary by destination. Our descriptions of Suites/Junior Suites and Villas usually state the number of persons who can occupy the room type (e.g. 2-4 persons). Children paying less than the full cost do not count towards occupancy of the Suites/Junior Suites or Villas. Child Reductions: Child reductions are generally available for children who are under the age of 12 on the date of travel. To obtain this reduction in cost, children must share a room with two full paying adults and use existing bed within the room type booked. Where an additional bed is required, our reservations staff will be pleased to advise you of the additional cost. Rooms shared by adults and children are requested through our system and are therefore subject to availability. Tour Itinerary All our tours are, by their very nature, complex and include services from many different airlines, hotels and ground transportation companies. Due to the demand for these services, it is not always possible to guarantee particular airlines, flights, aircraft, ferries, trains and/or the hotels featured on a particular itinerary or departure date. It is with this in mind that we reserve the right to change any of the listed services and, if necessary, even modify the itinerary itself without prior notice. Where any alteration significantly changes your tour itinerary or tour dates, we will always make every effort to give as much advance notification as possible. Changes to tours may also be necessary once the tour has commenced, changes may include the sequence of visits being altered according to local conditions. Meal Service Meals as specified are included only where stated; all other arrangements are on a room only basis. Many properties are not necessarily used to catering for special diets and therefore if you have particular or specific requirements, you may find that the choice is limited. As a matter of courtesy to fellow guests, property owners may require diners adhere to a dress code whilst dining in their restaurants. Hotel Check-In Your room will normally be available for check-in from 2pm onwards. If you intend to arrive late due to a pre-arranged flight schedule or transfers, your hotel will need to be advised of your late check-in. On the day of departure you will be asked to check out before 12 noon. Should you wish to request a late check out as you have a late afternoon or evening departure, the hotel may decide to apply additional charges. If you wish to pre-book and guarantee an additional half-day’s occupancy, please ask our reservations staff for details and prices. Customers may be required to leave a credit card deposit at hotel check in. If a credit card is not available then sometimes a cash deposit may be needed instead. Air Conditioning Some properties have individual air-conditioners located in either the bedroom or the living area, allowing you to adjust the atmosphere to your own liking. In some descriptions we have indicated that there is centrally controlled air conditioning. This means it is operated at the discretion of the management, both in bedrooms and public areas. In such cases air conditioning may be restricted to particular times of the day and to the hottest months of the summer. It may be that only cool air is provided, not necessarily warm air as well. There may be a local charge for air conditioning in some rooms. Accommodation Maintenance Certain accommodation featured in this brochure is operational all year round. From time to time it will be necessary for certain facilities to be withdrawn for general maintenance purposes. Water and electricity supplies may be interrupted whilst this essential maintenance is undertaken. Other Guests We do not have exclusive use of all properties featured in this brochure. It is possible therefore, that there may be guests from other countries and of mixed age groups at your accommodation. Many hotels we feature do operate corporate conference facilities and there may be occasions where business meetings are taking place during your stay. Hotel-Run Children’s Clubs Standards and facilities at kids’ clubs featured in this brochure may vary. We are unable to accept responsibility for or give any guarantee for the standard of the facilities and qualifications of personnel at hotel run clubs. Kids’ club(s) may not meet standards of similar facilities in the UK and guests are strongly advised to remember that local standards and requirements in respect of such clubs may differ overseas and so you must ensure that you are completely satisfied with the facilities and staff providing this service before you enrol your child or children into the club and into the clubs’ care. Gala Dinners Many hotels require the compulsory purchase of gala dinners over the Christmas and New Year period. Please enquire when booking as to whether this requirement is applicable to your hotel. Building Works Building works and noise are sometimes unavoidable in certain developing areas, resorts and cities. Unfortunately, such development is not directly under our control, nor do we necessarily receive advance notice of when they begin. Should we be aware of any building works that may be considered to be a seriously detriment to your enjoyment, we will notify you as soon as possible. If necessary, we will offer you the opportunity to transfer to an alternative hotel. Some public facilities at hotels, such as restaurants, bars and swimming pools, may only be available during mid-week or high season. We will, wherever possible, inform you if this is the case at the time of booking. In some destinations work is carried out by local/national authorities of which we have no control and cannot be held responsible. All Inclusive To help you choose your all inclusive holiday we have highlighted what activities and facilities are included with each accommodation. This is based on information we have received from the hotel management, often dictated by the properties current seasons all inclusive package. Please allow for some facilities or activities to be altered or substituted when you travel though, as hotels do regularly review and update what they offer as all inclusive. Identification: When you arrive at your hotel you are likely to be provided with some form of identification (a card, necklace, bracelet etc), which will have to be shown when ordering drinks, meals and other included facilities. Ensure you take care of this as a penalty charge is likely to be imposed if lost. Behaviour: Both ourselves and each of the all inclusive hotels reserve the right to withdraw the identification facility of any guest(s) whose behaviour, or whose child/children’s behaviour is such that it is, in the opinion of the management, detrimental to the enjoyment of the other guests. Alcohol: Having drinks freely available throughout the day can be a temptation to over-indulge. Please therefore consider your fellow guests (and your own health) while bearing in mind that hotel management have every right to refuse service to guests they believe to be intoxicated or under age (in accordance with local law). Bottled Mineral Water: In some all inclusive hotels bottled mineral water does not form part of the ‘unlimited soft drinks service’. Locally Sourced Drinks/Snacks: Drinks included are generally only locally produced brands; cocktails, international and premium brands and fruit juices are not available unless stated. The type and variety of snacks served (between meal times) will vary between hotels and resorts, and may be of a more traditional / local variety. What’s Not Included: Any additional facilities or services available may incur a charge. Consequently, not all bars/restaurants are available free of charge. Coming Home: Most hotels remove access to all inclusive facilities, including food and drink at the time of checkout, which is generally 12 noon on the day of departure.
Swimming Pools & Water Features Please make use of the pool shower facilities before swimming – this helps to prevent any potential infections and helps to keep the pool clean. Every pool is different and most hotels / apartments do not employ lifeguards, so you are strongly recommended to familiarise yourself with the pool layout, identifying the deep and shallow ends before using. Do not use the pool after dark or when the pool is closed, even if the pool has underwater lights. You should never swim when you have been drinking alcohol. Whilst some of our hotels and apartments have water features, such as slides or flumes, which may appear in our photography, generally we do not recommend these are used. It is possible such features may have been replaced or removed since the photography was taken. Overseas Safety Standards Regrettably the safety standards and regulations overseas may not be of the same level that we enjoy in the UK. For instance, the design and height of balconies may differ. The setting and enforcement of local regulations is a matter for the Authorities of the country and the foreign supplier of the services concerned. We are working with hoteliers to improve standards wherever possible. You should familiarise yourself with fire procedures, including emergency exits in your accommodation, the swimming pool(s) area and any unfamiliar cooking appliances. If in doubt, ask your representative or an appropriate member of staff. Children Children must be supervised by you at all times, especially near water, on balconies or in unfamiliar buildings and surroundings. Stomach Upsets It is still a relatively common occurrence to suffer gastric illness when travelling abroad and being exposed to a different environment. There are many ways you can reduce the possibility of being affected, such as, not eating undercooked food, avoiding ice in drinks, ensuring you drink plenty of bottled water and avoid over exposure to the sun. If you have any concerns regarding the food at your resort, please inform the accommodation provider straight away. In the unlikely event that you or any member of your party is ill, please ensure that a doctor is seen locally and that you inform your accommodation provider during your stay. Please also contact us on 01772 550185 in order that we can provide you with appropriate assistance. The health and safety of our customers is paramount to us, and we will take up any complaints of illness or injury with our supplier to ensure we are only providing safe and enjoyable holidays to our customers. PLEASE NOTE – We are aware of the growing trend in bringing false sickness claims against tour operators. If we have reason to believe that any claim or complaint made by you is false or exaggerated, we will work with our agent, the supplier and the relevant authorities to take appropriate action. Customers bringing false allegations against a tour operator may face prosecution in the UK or abroad. Out & About Due to rough terrain and uneven surfaces, we recommend that you are extra careful and vigilant when visiting temples and other sites of interest and when crossing roads. Crimes against people and property are a fact of life throughout the world and you have the same responsibility for your own safety as you do at home. In some places the local police may not be very cooperative or interested when you report a theft or need insurance confirmation so always take care of your property. It is
recommended not to approach cats and dogs and other animals as these may carry the rabies disease which can be passed on through bites and scratches. Please exercise caution before entering the sea, as the seabed is not even and changes in depth. The sea is capable of springing surprises and we have not inspected the beach or seabed for its safety.
choice before you book and confirm your holiday. Please contact our Reduced Mobility team on 0800 916 0658 who will be happy to assist. We cannot be held responsible if you fail to tell us about special needs/requirements that will affect your holiday experience and this means we will not compensate you.
SECTION 4 – YOUR JOURNEY
At the Airport & Onboard Your Flight: If you have a disability, reduced mobility or special need that you require assistance with, either at the airport or onboard the aircraft please let us know as soon as possible. We would like to know if you have a pre-existing medical condition or recent injury, so that we can answer any questions and ensure there are no concerns about your fitness to fly.
Luggage Allowance Please ensure that luggage taken with you is in good condition. We will advise you of the luggage allowance applicable to your flight at the time of booking, this will be confirmed on your e-ticket. Many airlines charge extra for baggage. Hand Luggage can normally be carried, however please check with your carrier prior to travel. For further information regarding your allowances you can contact the airline with which you are travelling. Due to increase security at airports please ensure you are familiar with what is allowed in your luggage please check www.caa.co.uk.
Travelling when Pregnant: Most airlines enforce strict regulations for expectant mothers. Airlines generally allow expectant mothers to travel anytime up to 24 to 36 weeks into their pregnancy with a covering note from their GP. We strongly advise you to consult your local GP and airline concerned if you plan to travel whilst pregnant. To contact the Reduced Mobility Team please call 0800 916 0658. (This is a dedicated number for special assistance enquiries and cannot transfer calls to other departments.)
Flight Routing A direct flight may touch down en-route for re-fuelling, or to pick up and/ or drop off passengers. In these instances you are not normally required to disembark and the flight is still considered to be a direct flight - with the exception of the USA where you will disembark and clear customs at your first point of entry. A non-direct flight may require a change of aircraft en-route while a non-stop flight will take you directly to your final destination airport without stopping.
Maps/Climate Charts Maps are to be used as a guide only and are not to scale. Climate information is based on averages.
Non-Smoking Policies Airlines: All of the airlines featured in this brochure do not permit smoking on their aircraft. Airports: Some airports also have non-smoking policies; however some do provide designated smoking areas. Hotels: Many of the hotels featured have non-smoking rooms. If you require a non-smoking room, please make your request at the time of booking. These requests cannot be guaranteed.
Money We recommend the purchase of a Cash Passport for the bulk of your holiday money, with a small amount of local currency for initial sundry items. Major credit cards are also widely accepted in all the destinations in this brochure. In some cases local currencies may have to be purchased after arrival or there may be restrictions on the amount you are permitted to buy in advance. We suggest you contact your Travel Agent for details.
SECTION 5 – DRIVING
Power & Water Supplies In most destinations you will find the supplies of water and power to be extremely reliable; however, in some countries this is not the case and these places may frequently suffer from power cuts and restrictions on the water used.
Car Hire Information Driving standards in some countries may not be as high as you experience in the UK and rental policies can differ. If you do hire a car during your holiday we recommend that you select reputable companies, preferably those who provide assistance cover in case of breakdown or emergency. Gold Medal offers car hire services in many countries, please ask for information. Unused Services: We do not provide refunds for any unused pre-booked services. Any changes you may need to make to your arrangements during your holiday may incur additional charges. If car hire is booked subsequently to booking your package holiday this will not form part of your package and therefore will not be covered under the package rules and regulations. SECTION 6 – MEDICAL AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS Health Precautions: Health facilities, hygiene and disease risks vary worldwide. You should take health advice about your specific needs as early as possible. Sources of information include the following websites: www.fco.gov.uk, www.hpa.org.uk and www.nathnac.org or your General Practitioner or a specialist clinic. If you are visiting a European Union (EU) country you should obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and take it with you when you travel. The EHIC can be obtained free of charge by completing an application form available from main Post Offices and from www.dh.gov.uk/travellers. Please note, the EHIC is in addition to Travel Insurance, not instead of it. Travellers with Reduced Mobility Overseas Accommodation and Overseas Transport Arrangements: The majority of overseas accommodation, overseas transport (including transfers) and other holiday services provided overseas are not equipped to cater for the needs of persons with reduced mobility. Furthermore the natural terrain and the layout of some resorts can sometimes make life difficult for wheelchair users. It is therefore important, if you have any disability, that the appropriate enquiries are made about the suitability of particular accommodation, resorts, transport and services, and that you are fully satisfied you have made the correct
SECTION 7 – TRAVEL TIPS
Essential information Far East
Safety & Hygiene Your health and safety is of paramount concern to us, especially if children are involved. In addition to monitoring the hygiene and safety standards in all the hotel and apartments that we use, it is appropriate that we bring to your attention the need for you to be careful and to take necessary precautions whilst overseas and we need your help and cooperation with this. We would ask you to pay close attention to the following information, together with any other information we, our agents or suppliers, provide to you before you go, during your flight and when you arrive in your destination and at your hotel. It is most important that you familiarise yourself with this information and any other information you are given or on display.
Public Holidays In Muslim countries, dates of religious festivals are fixed by local sightings of the moon. Ramadan, is a period of fasting and there may be restrictions on drinking alcohol and eating in public. Ramadan is estimated to fall between 15 May and 14 June 2018 and during this period some shops and restaurants may close. Chinese New Year is a major celebration throughout Asia so flights and hotels may be extremely busy during this time. Most ethnic Chinese businesses, including shops and restaurants (but not hotels), may be closed. In 2018, Chinese New Year will be on 16 February. If you would like to know more about international public holidays and impact of events, please contact the appropriate tourist board or speak to your travel agent.

Far East Booking conditions 210
Please read the following booking conditions carefully as they set out the terms and conditions of the contract between you and Gold Medal Travel Group PLC (“we”, “us” and “our”). Please note that our prices are based on bookings made by UK residents only. If you are not a UK resident, you may be liable upon check-in/check-out for additional charges. We will not be liable for such additional charges. If you are not a UK resident you must book by phone and inform your booking agent of your residency prior to booking. These booking conditions apply to bookings of packages, accommodation only and/or flight only. Your contract will be governed by English law and any disputes will be dealt with in the courts of England and Wales. Our obligations to you will depend on whether or not you buy a package holiday. A package holiday (“Package”) as defined by the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992. Section A. Package Holiday consists of transport and accommodation booked at the same time at an inclusive price. Section B Other Travel arrangements such as flights, or accommodation booked separately are sold by Gold Medal as an Agent for the supplier and you will have a direct contract with them. Section C indicates applicable to all bookings. A. PACKAGE HOLIDAY
The information in our brochure and on our website, along with the terms set out below and the terms set out in section C, apply when you book a Package. A1. Your Contract/Financial Protection All Sales that incorporate flights include the amount of £2.50 per person as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution we pay on your behalf. The air holidays and flights in the brochure are ATOL Protected, since we hold an Air Travel Organisers Licence granted by the CAA (ATOL 2916). In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us. For further information visit the ATOL website www.atol.org.uk. We are also members of ABTA (V6805) and comply with their Code of Conduct and provide financial protection for package holidays where appropriate. Where you book with us via an agent, payments you make to that agent will be held by the agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times, but subject to the agent’s obligation to pass on such payments to us for so long as we do not fail. In the unlikely event of our failure, any of your payments held at that time by the agent or any payment subsequently accepted from you by the agent, is and continues to be held by the agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us. 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. A2. Price Changes Changes in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports mean that the price of your Package may change after you have booked. However there will be no change within 30 days of your departure. We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your Package, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and above that, together with an amount to cover agents’ commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your Package, you will have the option of accepting a change to another Package if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. You must cancel within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Should the price of your Package go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your Package cost, then any refund due will be paid to you. A3. Changes Made By Us Before Travel From time to time we may have to change details of the package you have booked. If any change will have a significant effect on your package, we will tell you about it before you travel, if there is time. Changes we will tell you about include: O Change of your UK departure airport (although a change between London airports including Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Luton will not usually be considered significant). O Significant change of your destination O A change of more than 12 hours to the time you leave the UK or your destination O If we downgrade your accommodation by one full Tour Operator rating If you do not want to accept a significant change, which we tell you about before you depart, we will, if we are able to do so, offer you an alternative package of equivalent or closely similar standard and price at no extra cost, or a less expensive package, in which case we will refund the difference in price. If you do not wish to take the alternative we offer you, you can choose a different package offered for sale by us and pay, or receive a refund of, any price difference. Or, if you prefer, you can cancel your Package and receive a full refund of any money you have paid to us, except for any amendment charges. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Unless the change is as a result of circumstances listed in the paragraph below headed ’Circumstances Beyond our Control’, we will pay you compensation. If you have not accepted the change but have accepted an alternative holiday, the compensation we will pay you will be nominal and will be to compensate you for the inconvenience of having to make alternative arrangements but otherwise we will have no liability to pay you compensation. If you have accepted the change, again, the compensation will be nominal unless, upon your return, you can justify to us that you suffered an actual loss as a result of the change we made to your holiday. If you have not accepted the change and have accepted a refund of your holiday cost, the compensation will be a nominal sum designed to compensate you for your inconvenience of arranging for the refund and making any alternative arrangements you subsequently make but otherwise we will have no liability to pay you compensation. A4. Minor Changes By Us Before Travel Any change which we do not consider significant, is a minor change. We will endeavour to tell you about a minor change before you travel but we are not obliged to do so and we will not pay compensation. The flights we offer are operated by a range of scheduled or charter airlines, using wide or narrow body jet aircraft. It may not be possible at the time of booking to specify the airline or type of aircraft. Please note that two airlines may share the same services, therefore a flight may not be operated by the airline whose designated code is shown on your itinerary and ticket. We are required to inform you of the identity of the airline operating your flight. Any changes to the operating airline will be notified to you in all cases at check in or at the boarding gate. We reserve the right to change airlines or aircraft types at any time and changes of this type will not constitute a significant change. A5. Cancellation By Us We reserve the right to cancel any package sold but we will not do so within 10 weeks of departure except on rare occasions for example if there is insufficient demand for your particular Package, or are forced to do so because of unusual circumstances we could not have foreseen, where we could not avoid the results of those circumstances even after taking all reasonable care. (See ‘Circumstances Beyond Our Control’ below) No compensation will be payable in these circumstances, whenever they happen, and we will only have to offer you the below choices. We can also cancel if you fail to make payment for your booking on time. If we have to cancel a package for any particular reason, we will tell you as soon as reasonably possible. In these circumstances, we will, if we are able to do so, offer you an alternative Package of equivalent or closely similar standard and price at no extra cost, or a less expensive Package, in which case we will refund the difference in price. If you do not wish to take the alternative we offer you, you can choose another offered for sale by us and pay any price difference. Or, if you prefer, you can receive a full refund of any money
you have paid to us, except for any amendment or credit card charges. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. A6. Circumstances Beyond Our Control Except where we say differently elsewhere in these conditions, we will not pay any compensation, reimburse expenses, or cover losses for any amount or otherwise accept responsibility if we have to change your Package after departure, or we, or our suppliers, cannot supply your Package, as we, or they, had agreed, or you suffer any loss or damage of any description, as a result of circumstances beyond our control. When we refer to circumstances beyond our control, we mean any event that we, or the supplier in question, could not foresee or avoid, even after taking all reasonable care. Such circumstances will usually include, but are not limited to, war, terrorist activity, civil unrest, industrial dispute, bad weather (actual or threatened) and significant building work ongoing outside of your accommodation, which is not known to us in advance of your departure date and building work from a third party (such as resort development). A7. Changes Made After Travel If, after your departure, a significant part of your pre-booked Package arrangements cannot be provided, you will be offered a suitable alternative if possible. If appropriate, we will also pay you compensation in accordance with the table in the section entitled ‘Changes Made By Us Before Travel’ unless the reason for the change is due to circumstances beyond our control (see section entitled ‘Circumstances Beyond Our Control’). If it is not possible to offer you a suitable alternative or, for good reasons, you do not accept the alternative arrangements, you will have the right to cancel your booking. In this event, you will have the right to be returned by the same means of transport to your original departure point at no extra cost provided that transport is available. This does not impose an obligation on us to make specific transport arrangements for you if none are available. A8. Flight Delays Where a flight is cancelled, delayed or overbooked, you may be entitled to make a claim against the airline concerned under the Denied Boarding Regulations 2004. Full details will be available at all EU airports and from your airline. However, you should note that reimbursement of the cost of a flight that forms part of your holiday is the responsibility of your airline and will not automatically entitle you to reimbursement of the cost of your holiday from us. A9. Our Responsibilities Towards You We accept responsibility for ensuring that the package you buy is of a reasonable standard and as originally described to you, subject to any amendments you accept prior to departure. If any part of the package is not as described, we will pay you reasonable compensation as appropriate for that part of the package unless this is due to circumstances beyond our control. We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that the services provided by ourselves and our suppliers are of a reasonable standard but we do advise that not all local standards will reach the standards you might expect in the UK. If whilst on holiday you suffer an injury, illness or death as a result of a fault on our part, or on the part of our suppliers or their employees acting in the course of their employment we may pay compensation similar to that which you might receive under English law, in an English Court. However, we will not do so if your injury, illness or death was your own fault, the fault of someone unconnected with the package we sold or if it was due to an event which could not have avoided even with all due care or which could not have been anticipated. Please notify us of any potential claim within 3 months of returning home and you must agree to assign any rights you have against the supplier at fault to us to enable us to recover any payments we make to you. Where the incident is covered by an international convention, such as those relating to international air and sea travel and hotel or rail transport, our liability will be limited accordingly. Please ask to see the relevant Conventions that may apply to your package. Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract; for example, any additional services or facilities which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you. If you suffer an injury illness or death whilst taking part in an activity which does not form part of your package holiday, we will, at our reasonable discretion offer advice and assistance to enable you to consider taking legal action against those responsible. Maximum Liability: Our maximum liability is £5,000 per booking form and if you have legal expenses insurance, we would expect you to make a claim against that policy and in all cases, if you recover compensation, to repay any costs which we incur on your behalf. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you have not received any benefit at all from your holiday. Where we are found liable for loss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions (including money), the maximum amount we will have to pay you is £1,000 for luggage and £300 for personal possessions (including money). Where any claim or part of a claim relates to any transport (including the process of getting on/off the transport) provided by any air, sea, rail or road carrier or any stay in an hotel, the maximum we will have to pay you in respect of that claim or that part of a claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is the maximum which would be payable by the carrier or hotelier concerned would have to pay under the international convention or regulation which applies to the travel arrangements or hotel stay in question (for example, Athens Convention for international travel by sea, Warsaw Convention as amended or unamended the Montreal Convention for international travel by air and/or for airlines with an operating licence granted by an EU country, the EC Regulation on Air Carrier Liability No 889/2002 for national and international travel by air, the Berne Convention for international travel by rail). Where the carrier or hotelier would not be obliged to make any payment to you under the international convention or regulation in respect of a claim or part of a claim, we are similarly not obliged to make a payment to you for that claim or part of the claim. When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the carrier or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question. Copies of the applicable international conventions and regulations are available on request. Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss, expense or other sum(s) of any description (1) which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you or (2) which did not result from any breach of contract or other fault by ourselves or our employees or, where we are responsible for them, our suppliers. Additionally we cannot accept liability for any business losses. A10. Airline Collapse In the unlikely event that the airline with which you are travelling ceases to trade whilst you are abroad, you must contact us at the earliest opportunity to allow us to seek to find you an alternative return flight. We shall not be liable for any costs you incur in making your own return flight arrangements if you have not given us the opportunity to arrange an alternative flight home for you. B. SINGLE COMPONENTS The terms set out below, together with the terms set out in Section C apply when you book a ‘Flight Only’ or only a ‘Hotel’. They apply whether you book one component or more than one component. Booking more than one component does not create a Package. B1. Price Changes Price increases may occur any time prior to departure, you will be liable to pay any such increases in full. If, before you book, we know of circumstances that may cause an increase in the price of your booking after you have paid, we will endeavour to provide details to you. B2. Transfer of Bookings In the case of a scheduled flight only booking, transfer to another person will involve cancelling the original booking, thereby incurring any relevant cancellation charges and then making a new booking, which will be subject to availability and any additional price increase. Transfer of any other type of booking is subject to the supplier’s own terms and conditions and the applicable amendment or cancellation charges as stated in section C. B3. Changes Made to Your Booking Where a supplier makes a change to a non-Package booking you do not have the same legal rights as with a Package booking. If we
are aware of any change which we believe will materially affect your booking we will tell you as soon as reasonably practicable but you must appreciate that we will only have an obligation to tell you if we have been told in the first place by the supplier. In the case of flights, we recommend once you have departed the UK that you check directly with your airline or view your scheduled flight details on www. checkmytrip.com for any schedule changes. When a change occurs it is the responsibility of the supplier to make alternative arrangements; it is not our responsibility. Where, however, we believe a change has a significant effect on your booking, we will endeavour to arrange with the supplier(s) to provide you with suitable alternative arrangements. If suppliers impose additional costs for any alternative arrangements you will be obliged to pay those. If the supplier authorises a refund to be made, we will pass this onto you, less insurance premiums and Airline Failure Protection where applicable. B4. Our Liability to You Our responsibility is to make arrangements for the provision by the relevant suppliers (including air carrier of air transport, accommodation owner/supplier, car hire provider) of the components you book, but we do not have any responsibility for the operation of the component itself. We have no liability to you for any dissatisfaction, loss of enjoyment, loss, injury or damage which results from your use of the single component unless we have negligently failed to select a normally competent provider of the relevant component. Further, we have no liability to you in any event for any consequential loss which you may suffer in relation to any arrangements which you book to coincide with the single component you have booked with us. Please note, with the exception of flight only or flight-plus bookings in the unlikely event of our collapse/insolvency, any money you have paid is not protected by a scheme of financial protection. If this is important to you, we recommend you book a Package with us or obtain suitable travel insurance. C. ALL BOOKINGS Before you book please visit our website or discuss your choice of destination, accommodation and transport with our reservations staff or your travel agent, to make sure it will be suitable for you and the people you will be travelling with. Some travel and accommodation arrangements are only available on a request basis - where this is the case you will be advised at the time you make your enquiry and details of the arrangements on request will be shown on any documentation we issue. Any arrangements that we advise you are on request are not confirmed or guaranteed and are subject to change until we receive confirmation from our supplier. C1. Your Holiday Booking The person who signs the booking form or completes the booking online or by telephone is the ‘lead name’. He or she must be over 18 years of age and is responsible for payment of the total booking price, including any insurance premiums and subsequent cancellation or amendment charges that may be payable. He or she also agrees to provide accurate and full information to the remainder of the travelling party in relation to the booking, including any changes thereto and confirms that all the other members of the party, including any that may be added at a later date, agree to be bound by these conditions, and all other information in the relevant brochure and on our websites (as applicable). If you are making the booking on behalf of a minor, under the age of 18, who is not travelling with a person 18 or over, we will only allow the minor to travel on the following terms: The parent/legal guardian must be present when the booking is made; the booking is subject to the minor satisfying our suppliers conditions of travel (minimum age restrictions do apply and vary by airline); The parent/guardian will be required, as deemed appropriate by us, to; (a) sign a booking form, (b) complete a letter of authorisation/consent for the minor to travel, (c) provide a photocopy of the photo page in the parent/guardian and minors passport, (d) pay any applicable charges/costs applied by the airline. For all bookings as described in Section A and/or Section B above, a contract will exist between you and us when we issue a confirmation invoice/receipt/e-mail. Please check your confirmation invoice, ticket and any other documentation you may receive in relation to your booking as soon as you receive it. You must contact your travel agent immediately if any information appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later. We regret we cannot accept any liability if you do not promptly notify your travel agent of any inaccuracy in any documentation. In the event that we are notified of any changes we will endeavour to rectify or arrange for the rectification of any inaccuracies notified to your travel agent, however you will be liable for any costs involved in doing so pursuant to clause C6. C2. Payment Terms If your booking is made more than 10 weeks before the intended departure date, you must pay either: - (i) the full fare (depending on the carrier’s conditions for the travel arrangements in question), or (ii) a nonrefundable deposit as required by us and/or the supplier of the services for the arrangements in question, the amount of which will be advised at the time of booking. You will be advised at the time of booking what payment is required for your particular arrangements. The balance of the cost of your travel arrangements must be paid within 10 weeks before the departure date. If your booking is made within 10 weeks of your intended departure date, the total cost of your travel arrangements must be paid at the time of booking. PLEASE NOTE FAILURE TO PAY ON TIME WILL RESULT IN CANCELLATION. If you are purchasing a travel insurance policy through us, the premium for this will also be payable at time of booking. C3. Special Requests If you have a special request for anything that is not automatically part of the travel arrangements you book through us, please advise us when you book and we will pass this information on to the companies we work with. Making a special request does not guarantee that we, or the relevant supplier, can meet your request. If you or any member of your party has any disability or medical condition which may affect your arrangements, please provide your travel agent with full details at the time of booking so that we can advise as to the suitability of the chosen arrangements. If we/the airline/other supplier reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we reserve the right to decline the booking. In the event that full details are not given at the time of booking, we reserve the right to cancel the booking when we become aware of these details. Cancellation charges in accordance with clause C7 will apply. C4. Insurance You must take out adequate travel insurance suitable for your needs before you travel. We cannot be responsible for any costs you incur as a result of you failing to do so. For your own peace of mind the insurance should cover you if you have to cancel your arrangements, or for any emergencies that arise while you are away. Please check your policy when you receive it and take it with you on your travels. The insurance is covered by a 14 day cooling off period which applies if you have not travelled or made any claim under the insurance policy. After this time the insurance policy is non-refundable, it is your responsibility to check the specific terms of the insurance policy at the time of purchase. C5. Excursions Excursions include, but are not restricted to, any sightseeing trips, gigs, events or other tours attended in resort for which additional payment is required. Excursions can either be booked and/or paid for in resort (“Resort Booked Excursions”) or pre-booked and paid for when you book your Holiday (“Pre-booked Excursions”). All excursions are supplied by third party suppliers and are subject to the clause C8. We accept, subject to clauses A9 (entitled “Our responsibilities towards you”) and C8 entitled “Suppliers’ Conditions”), responsibility for Prebooked Excursions. However, Resort Booked Excursions do not form part of your Package and are not governed by the Package Travel, Package Holiday and Package Tours Regulations 1992. We do not have any responsibility or liability whatsoever for anything which may go wrong on a Resort Booked Excursion. We, our servants, employees or agents are acting, depending upon the actual Resort Booked Excursion, either as agents for the relevant Resort Booked Excursion supplier or as agent for you. In any event the contract for any Resort Booked Excursion is between you and the Resort Booked Excursion provider. It is your responsibility to note carefully any conditions of contract contained in any Resort Booked Excursion, literature, ticket or receipt you are given. For Resort Booked Excursions you may be subject to the laws of the country in which you take your excursion and may be required to bring any disputes or claims before the Courts of that country also.

Note 1: In all cases a change to the outbound travel date, once confirmed, is regarded as a cancellation and rebooking, not an alteration to the booking. Note 2: You are not permitted to change all the names on any booking and at least one of the passengers (over 18) on the original booking must remain, unless you are prevented from travelling for reasons beyond your control and not simply from a change of mind. If the services booked are dependent on a minimum number of people using the service, we will have to recalculate the total cost if the number of passengers travelling has altered. The cost may therefore increase but as this is not a cancellation charge, it may not be covered by your insurance. Note 3: When we refer to ‘Optional Extras’, we mean anything you choose to add to your booking that is additional to the inclusive transport and accommodation arrangements you book. For example, car hire, weddings or park tickets. If you cancel any Optional Extras for which there is a cost, we will apply the charges above. If you cancel any Travel insurance you booked through us your premium will not be refunded, as cover under the policy will already have begun. Note 4: No charge will be made for changes to accommodation made during the period stated, with the exception of accommodation booked to coincide with peak periods or special events or when we negotiate special offer rates with our accommodation providers. Such rates may not allow changes to accommodation once booked – any such changes will incur up to 100% charges. Where this applies, you will be advised at the time of booking. C7. Cancellation By You The lead name on the booking must give notice to cancel in writing either to their travel agent or to the correspondence address as stated on the invoice and the charges shown below apply from the date we receive the notice at our offices or the travel agent activates the cancellation. In order to cover our expected losses from the cancellation of the booking there is a set scale of charges which must be paid by you if you or anyone travelling with you cancels. Note: These cancellation charges apply to all bookings, except in circumstances where a booking includes items or services where our suppliers own cancellation charges exceed those shown below. In these circumstances any additional cancellation charges will be advised at the time of booking. Please ensure you are certain of the fees applicable to your booking by asking us before proceeding to book your arrangements.

*Accommodation Only: Accommodation booked to coincide with peak periods or special events or when we negotiate special offer rates with our accommodation providers may be non-refundable once booked. Where this applies, you will be advised at the time of booking. In the event of cancellation by some but not all party members, additional charges may be payable (for example, where a twin or double room will only be occupied by one person). Any such additional charges must be paid at the time of cancellation or with the balance of the cost of the arrangements as advised. Flights: The cancellation charge of flight only bookings will be 100% of the cost of the booking. Please ensure that you are certain of the fees applicable to your booking by asking your travel agent before proceeding to book your arrangements. Air tickets returned to us for a refund are subject to an administration fee of £50 per ticket. Refunds will not be paid by us until they have been received by us from the relevant airline or consolidator. Please note that where an outbound portion of your flight coupon is not used, the return sector will be automatically cancelled by the airline and will be classed as void. No automatic right to any refund exists for such part-used tickets. Car Rental: There is no charge to change/cancel car hire more than 48 hours before departure. Cancellations 48 hours or less before departure will incur 100% cancellation charge. If you fail to cancel your reservation prior to the pick-up time and do not collect the vehicle on the pick-up date, or if you fail to comply with the pick-up terms (please see car suppliers website for full terms and conditions), we reserve the right to make a ‘no-show’ charge of 100% of the total car rental booking value and un-used or part-used car hire rental will be non-refundable. Other Travel Arrangements: (apart from accommodation only and car hire) If you need to cancel you must contact us. Cancellation charges vary depending on the services booked and will be higher the later you cancel and will be clearly stated at the time of booking. C8. Suppliers’ Conditions Our third party suppliers have their own booking conditions and conditions of carriage, and you will be bound by these, so far as the relevant supplier is concerned. Our suppliers’ conditions will also apply to your contract with us, and in the event of any conflict between the suppliers’ conditions and our conditions, the suppliers’ conditions will prevail, save to the extent that any term in the suppliers’ conditions is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, in which event our conditions will prevail. Some of our Suppliers’ conditions may limit or exclude liability on the part of the relevant supplier, and, by virtue of their application to your contract with us, may also limit or exclude our liability to you, and they are often subject to international conventions. Where relevant, copies of such conditions may be available for inspection at the office of the relevant supplier. C9. Baggage The amount of compensation you may receive for any loss or damage to luggage is limited in accordance with the conventions listed in clause A9. For claims for missing or damaged baggage you must follow the rules on the back or your ticket or contained within the carrier’s conditions of carriage. Please note time limits apply within which to notify us or the carrier and make a claim. We will not accept liability for high value items which you should insure for the appropriate amount. C10. Flight & Other Travel Timings Flight timings are provided by airlines and are subject to Air Traffic Control restrictions. All means of transportation are subject to weather conditions and the need for constant maintenance and the ability of passengers to check in on time. There is no guarantee that transport will depart at the times stated on any itinerary or tickets which you receive. All timings are estimates only, and we do not have any liability to you for any delay, which may arise, or for any schedule alterations. Please note that a flight described as “direct” will not necessarily be non-stop. Where a sector of a flight itinerary is not utilised without contacting the carrier directly, any remaining sectors may be subject to cancellation without further notification. Where this situation arises we are unable to accept responsibility for any costs incurred. Please note the existence of a “Community list” (available for inspection at http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air-ban/list_en.htm) detailing air carriers that are subject to an operating ban within the EU Community. C11. Complaints We aim to provide the best holiday possible. However, if you are not satisfied please complain as soon as possible to the relevant person (for example, the accommodation management or transport supplier). If they cannot help, you should contact your Travel Agent, who made your booking or contact Gold Medal using the emergency contact number shown on your travel documentation and we will do everything reasonably possible to sort the problem out. When you get back home please send a letter to our offices in the UK, within 28 days of returning home. If you have special needs that prevent you from writing to us then, where possible, we will accept details of your complaint over the telephone. For complaints arising from Scheduled airlines, we will act as a liaison between you and the airline, to try to assist in resolving the problem. If we cannot help and you wish to take matters further, you must contact the airline directly. The address to send your completed form and covering letter to is: Gold Medal Customer Relations Department, The Trident Centre, Port Way, Ribble Docklands, Preston, PR2 2QG. Email your complaint: posttravelcustomerrelations@goldmedal.co.uk We would point out that failure to follow the above procedures during your holiday, and/or failure to complain within 28 days of your return, may reduce or extinguish any rights you have to claim compensation from us, or from any relevant supplier. Any such rights will be reduced or extinguished if, had you followed the above procedures during your holiday, you or we could have taken steps to reduce any loss or damage suffered or entirely prevented it from being suffered. It is difficult and sometimes impossible to properly investigate a complaint if we are not told about it reasonably quickly once the holiday is over. Your right to claim compensation may also be reduced or extinguished, should any delay in your complaint being notified during or after your holiday, prevent us from carrying out a proper investigation. We aim to resolve all complaints ourselves, but if this is not possible your complaint can be considered under a scheme devised by ABTA and administered by CEDR Solve.
We will give you details of this scheme if you ask. The scheme does not apply to claims over £25,000 in total or more than £5,000 a person, or to claims mainly about illness or injury. To take advantage of the scheme you must contact the CEDR Solve within 18 months of returning from your Holiday. Alternatively, you may wish to refer the matter to the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution Platform which can be accessed using the following link: http://ec.europa.eu/odr. Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss, expense or other sum(s) of any description (1) which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you or (2) which did not result from any breach of contract or other fault by ourselves or our employees or, where we are responsible for them, our suppliers. Additionally we cannot accept liability for any business losses. C12. Travel Documents & Health Advice It is your responsibility to have valid travel documents. If we or your carrier are fined as a result of you holding incorrect documents, you will have to pay us the full amount. For up to date UK Government health & travel advice please visit www.fco.gov.uk, www.hpa.org.uk and www. nathnac.org and contact your GP. See our Holiday Information pages and website for further information. C13. Information Accuracy We publish brochure and website information many months in advance and, as far as we know, all information is correct at the time of publication. However, things may still change after publication and we check regularly to see if we need to update or correct any information or prices. If there are any significant information changes or we find any mistakes, we will put details on our computer reservation system or website so you will receive the latest information when you make your booking. Descriptions of accommodation, facilities and services we provide are based on information obtained from our suppliers. Sometimes the facilities described will be withdrawn for reasons such as maintenance, bad weather or lack of demand from guests. Where our suppliers advise us about significant changes to descriptions or about the withdrawal of any significant facility, we will tell you as soon as possible. Some activities or facilities, watersports for example, may not be available all year round. There may be a charge for some facilities, for example, TVs, safety deposit boxes, sun-loungers, parasols, tennis courts, pool tables and air-conditioning. In some places during high season (and even at other times) there is a possibility you will be disturbed by noise from less considerate groups, so please bear this in mind when choosing your destination and accommodation. Any transfer times we quote for travel between airport and resort are approximate and, depending on circumstances, the journey time to your own chosen property may be longer. The prices contained within this brochure are for guidance only. The price of your arrangements will be confirmed at the time of booking by your travel agent and may be different to the price appearing in this brochure. C14. Data Protection By making a booking with us, you agree we may use and disclose the information you provide for the following purposes: to enable us to process your booking (which will include passing your information to third party suppliers, such as hoteliers and airlines, and may involve sending your information to countries that do not have an equal level of privacy legislation to that in the UK); for market research and analysis purposes; for improving customer service; for the detection and prevention of fraud or other crime (which may include providing your information to organisations such as Banks and credit card companies); for compliance with legal requirements (which will include passing your information to public authorities such as customs and immigration) and for marketing contact by means of post or telephone to provide you with offers, products and services from companies within the Gold Medal Travel Group and carefully selected third parties. If you purchase travel insurance from us, we will need to pass your personal data (including sensitive personal data and personal/sensitive data relating to other members of your travelling party) to the insurance company. Telephone calls to/from ourselves may be recorded for training and quality purposes and for preventing/detecting crime. If you have booked with us via our website, or if you have chosen for us to contact you by e-mail, we will communicate with you using the e-mail address you have provided to supply you with your travel documentation. We are entitled to assume that the e-mail address you have provided is correct and that you understand and accept the risks associated with using this form of communication. Please note that you may still need to contact us by post or via our call centre as required by our booking conditions. If you wish to make a data subject access request for a copy of any personal data we hold on you, please write to: The Company Secretary, Gold Medal Travel Group PLC, The Trident Centre, Port Way, Ribble Docklands, Preston, PR2 2QG. If you wish to opt out of receiving marketing communications from us, please advise one of our sales consultants or make the appropriate opt out choices on the website when you book. C15. Your Responsibility We want all our customers to have an enjoyable, carefree Holiday. But you must remember that you are responsible for your actions and the effect they may have on others. If we, or another person in authority, believe: - your actions could upset, annoy or disturb other customers, our suppliers or our own staff, or put them in any risk or danger, or damage property; or - you are unfit to travel; we may end your Holiday and terminate your contract. You and your travelling party will be prevented from using your booked accommodation, transport, and any other Travel Arrangements forming part of your booking and we will not be liable for any refund, compensation or any other costs you have to pay. Alternatively at our discretion, you may be permitted to continue with your Holiday but may have additional terms of carriage imposed upon you. See ‘In-Flight Safety in the All You Need To Know/Holiday Information sections of the relevant brochure and on our websites for further details. In addition to the above and the effect your actions may have on others, you must particularly also bear in mind that you are responsible for your safety, and that you are responsible for the condition of the property you occupy. We are not responsible for any accidents which occur in or around swimming pools due to your inappropriate, or irresponsible behaviour, or for any accidents which occur anywhere on properties because of glass, china or the like which you have broken and/or have left in a way in which injury can result. We expect that you will enjoy your holiday with us. We appreciate that you may well drink alcohol as part of your enjoyment. You must, however, do so responsibly and we will have no liability to you for any injury, loss or damage you suffer as a result of your judgment being impaired wholly or partly by alcohol. We will hold you and the members of your travelling party jointly and individually liable for any damage to the accommodation, furniture, apparatus or other materials located within the accommodation, together with any legal costs we incur in pursuing a claim. It is your duty to report any breakages, defects or damage to an appropriate person immediately. If your behaviour or the behaviour of any members of your travelling party causes any transport aircraft to be diverted we and/ or the carrier will hold you and those members jointly and individually liable for all costs incurred as a result of that diversion. We cannot accept liability for the behaviour of others in your accommodation or flight, or for any facilities/services withdrawn as a result of their action. C16. Booking Conditions Amendments & Right to Refuse Travel Arrangements We reserve the right to add, withdraw and/or amend any of our bookings conditions at any time and without notice and furthermore reserve the right to refuse any booking.

Changes You Make Before Travel If you want to change the arrangements you have booked in any way, we will try to help you, although we cannot guarantee that we will always be able to do this as changes are subject to availability at the time and to the transport providers terms and conditions. Please note that typically changes to scheduled flight tickets, ferry and Eurostar tickets are very restrictive. Where we can make a change, we will charge for any additional services, facilities, or other items changed, at the price which applies on the day the change is made. In addition, we will also apply charges for each person on the booking and for each item you want to change as shown in the table below. Any booking discount you may have received at the time the original booking was made, may be altered or reduced whenever changes are made. If you have paid supplements for accommodation and the number of people in your accommodation changes, you may have to pay extra and may lose any free or reduced infant and child places or any free group places. And remember any change to your departure date, airport, transport, destination, accommodation, or length of holiday has to apply to all members of your booking. Note: Name changes (including initial changes), destination and date changes can be treated by such suppliers as a cancellation and rebooking, regardless of the period of notice given to us. If the supplier treats the change as a cancellation and rebooking we will pass on to you the cost imposed by the supplier, which could be up to 100% of the transport element of your booking and you must also pay the charge listed in the table below.
