TOUR DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT: Payment is accepted by personal or bank checks. For credit card payments,
please add a 3.5% service fee to all transactions. YOU WILL BE INVOICED FOR THE BALANCE OF
PAYMENT DUE ON OR BEFORE FRIDAY, July 19, 2018.
ARRANGEMENTS: The tour price is based on a minimum participation of 30 persons and includes planning, and
operational charges and is quoted on the current rate of exchange, tariff rates and airfares in effect as of December 1,
2018. In the event of a marked increase in foreign currency or in tariff rates, the cost is subject to revision.
TOUR PRICING: This is a package tour in which group airfares and land tour costs have been combined in the most
advantageous way. Should you wish to 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. There will be a service charge of $100 per person for
altering the airline itinerary, plus any additional charges assessed by the airlines.
TRAVEL PROTECTION: You have been given the option of purchasing Travel Protection at the time you sign-up for
the tour. Plans help protect you and your travel investment and help provide coverage for unexpected circumstances. The
premium for the plan is non-refundable after the 14 day free look period and rates are based on trip cost. Group plans
require a minimum participation of 10 travelers. For a complete description of coverage and to see all the covered
reasons for cancellation, please call 1-800-624-8338 or e-mail Mary at mary@intertravcorp.com
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 service companies up to the full value of your tour cost. IMPORTANT: Cancellations will not be accepted by
telephone and must be sent in writing to: InterTrav Corporation, 203 State Avenue, St. Charles, Illinois 60174, faxed to:
630/584-1573, or emailed to: mary@intertravcorp.com
PASSPORTS AND VISAS: Your tour requires a valid passport. If you do not already have your passport, or it will
expire before the tour return date, we suggest you apply for it immediately. No visas are required for your tour.
However, if you are a citizen of a country other than the United States, additional travel documentation may be required.
AIRLINE TICKETING/SEATING: For ticketing InterTrav requires a copy of the photo page of your passport. 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 your seat pre-assigned, or would
like to upgrade, you must e-mail your request to mary@intertravcorp.com. The cost for 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.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING PRICING: The tour price as quoted is based on tariffs in effect for estimated 2018
prices as of December 1, 2018. Tour prices do increase every year, and it is therefore possible that increases could occur
after the printing of this brochure in advance of your tour’s departure. InterTrav Corporation will do everything possible
to avoid an increase in the tour cost. However, should increases occur in airfares, hotel prices, and/or coach
transportation 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 30 days prior to departure.
