ARRANGEMENTS: The tour price is based on a minimum participation of 30 persons and includes planning, handling
and operational charges and is quoted on the current rate of exchange, tariff rates and estimated airfares in effect as of
July 1, 2019. In the event of a marked increase or decrease in foreign currency or in tariff rates, the cost is subject to

TOUR PRICING: This is a package tour in which land tour costs and special group airfares have been combined in the
most advantageous way. Should you wish to take the land tour only or deviate from the package tour by changing your
departure and/or return dates of travel, this will eliminate the advantages of the package tour price and special group
airfares. There will be a service charge of $100 per person for altering the airline itinerary, plus any additional charges
assessed by the airlines.
CANCELLATION: If after making your initial deposit you find it necessary to cancel from the tour for any reason,
there will be a charge of $100 per person up to 90 days prior to departure. For cancellation between 89 and 60 days prior
to departure, there will be a cancellation charge of $300 per person. For cancellation within 59 days of departure, in
addition to the $300 per person charge, there may be additional cancellation charges from the airline, hotel(s), or ground

immediately. No visas are required for your tour. However, if you are a citizen of a country other than the United States,
you must advise us in writing with your Reservation Application, as other travel documents may be required.
AIRLINE TICKETING/SEATING: If a ticket requires a name change because of incorrect information supplied to
our office, the traveler is responsible for any applicable charges. Group air reservations are handled differently than
individual reservations, and each airline has their own guidelines and restrictions on seat assignments and upgrades. If
you wish to have a specific seat pre-assigned, or would like to upgrade, you must e-mail your request to
mary@intertravcorp.com. The cost for specific pre-assigned and/or upgraded seats varies, as does the time frame we are
able to make the request with the airline. Every effort is made to ensure requests are honored, however the
responsibility is with the airline and beyond the control of InterTrav Corporation.

costs, they will be added to the tour cost and passengers will be notified accordingly. Should an increase in price occur,
notifications will be sent to tour members in writing no later than 15 days prior to departure.
