Welcome to Travel Wright in our 90th Anniversary Year The CompanyEstablished (as Wright & Sons) on Lincoln Road in 1926, Travel Wright are celebrating 90 years in business in 2016. Formed as Wright & Sons in 1926 by Charles Wright & his sons Frank & Les-ley, the company remain a family run business with David, Paula and Colin (Charles’ great grandchildren) all actively involved. The premises on Brunel Drive have given the company the ability to offer much improved boarding and toilet facilities to its holiday customers although unfortunately we cannot normally offer parking facilities for customers whilst they are away on holiday. Travel Wright continues to invest in upgrading its fleet of vehicles and in its valued staff on whom they rely so much. They are proud to be based in Newark and are very grateful to the loyal customers who travel on their tours. We look forward to another year of successful holidays.

Torquay’s origins as a holiday resort date back to Victorian times when its’ sub-tropical climate made the town a fashionable destination for English aristocracy. Today the legacy remains with its beautiful gardens, elegant buildings, famous palm-lined promenade and marina, all providing the backdrop to popular mod-ern facilities and a busy shopping centre.Our base for Christmas is once again the very comfortable TOORAK HOTEL which forms part of the TLH Leisure Resort featuring a host of facilities including bowling, fitness room, sauna, jacuzzi/spa and Aztec themed pool. The Toorak has an award winning restaurant, a sunny, south facing lounge with ample comfy armchairs in which to relax, along with a bar where you can enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail/drink. All the en-suite bedrooms feature tv, telephone, hair dryer and hospitality tray. A passenger lift serves most, but not all floors.The Toorak forms part of a resort complex consisting of four hotels, all of which have easy access to the centrally located leisure facilities including a spa, gym and pool. During our stay there will be activities and entertainment during the daytime and evening at all of the hotels and guests at the Toorak are welcome to participate at any of the venues which are all within easy walking distance.

Brief ItineraryFriday 23rd DecemberDeparting Newark early morning, we travel south westwards skirting the scenic Cotswolds to join the motorway system, which takes us into Devon and so to the coast at Torquay where we will be welcomed with a cup of tea/coffee and mince pies. There will then be ample time to freshen up before our evening meal.Christmas Eve - Saturday 24th December After a leisurely breakfast, we travel to Pennywell Farm at Buckfastleigh for a lunchtime nativity performed by local children. Rekindling the true spirit of Christmas with donkeys, sheep and an authentic manger, the performance takes place in the Barn (so please wrap up warm) and is followed by mulled wine, tea/coffee and mince pies. Afternoon tea will be served on our arrival back at the hotel and there will be cocktails and canapes with the hotel staff before our candlelit evening meal. Entertainment is then available at a choice of venues within the complex.Christmas Day - Sunday 25th DecemberA day to relax in and around the hotel. Santa will accompany us at breakfast and will then be in his Grotto with presents for the children and mulled wine for the grown ups! Christmas lunch will be followed by the Queen’s Speech and tea/Christmas cake. A buffet supper rounds off the evening. Again entertainment is available at a choice of venues throughout the day and evening.Boxing Day - Monday 26th DecemberAfter a leisurely breakfast we board our coach for a short scenic tour to the resort of Brixham where some cafes and pubs will be open for refreshments. We then return to the hotel for an afternoon at leisure; bingo, quizzes and horse racing are just a few of the activities on offer! An afternoon tea will then be followed by a Gala Buffet and evening entertainment.Tuesday 27th DecemberDeparting Torquay after breakfast we retrace our steps, so home to Newark for approximately teatime.

BONDED COACH HOLIDAYS GROUP TRADING CHARTER 2016TRAVEL WRIGHT LTD, BRUNEL BUSINESS PARK, JESSOP CLOSE, NEWARK, NOTTS.

Bonded Coach Holidays Group Trading Charter Travel Wright Ltd, Brunel Business Park, Jessop Close, Newark, Notts

OUR TRADING CHARTER WITH YOU

1. Does this Trading Charter Apply to My Booking?Yes, if you are booking a “package” to which the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 apply and which does not comprise a flight, but not otherwise. In brief, those Regulations apply to a booking of at least two of the following components when sold or offered for sale at an inclusive price and when the service covers a period of more than twenty-four hours or includes overnight accommodation:-• transport,• accommodation,• other tourist services not ancillary to transport or accommodation and accounting for a significant proportion of the package.

2. Why should I read this?Because it is very important. Our Trading Charter forms a key part of our agreement with you because it not only comprises the booking terms and conditions for the booking of your package, but also the Consumer Guaran-tee (described below) from The Bonded Coach Holidays Group (“BCH Group”), part of the Confederation of Passenger Transport UK, providing protection for the money you pay to us for the booking should we go out of business. Both the booking terms and conditions and the Consumer Guarantee, together with the confirmation of booking we give you at the time we commit to your booking for you, together make up the legally binding contract between you as the lead name making the booking, anyone else in your party and us. When you make this booking as the lead name you undertake that you are 18 and have the authority to accept, and do accept, on behalf of your party the terms of this Trading Charter. This contract is made subject to the terms of this Trading Charter, which are governed by English Law, and the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts. However, if you are resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you are able to choose the law and courts in your country, but if you wish to do so we would ask you to request this before placing your booking.

3. How and when do I make this contract with you?We welcome you making contact with us in a number of ways. You can write to us, phone us, use a travel or booking agent, e-mail, or visit our website. Whichever way you contact us, the contract is made when your booking is entered on to our reservation system and we issue a confirmation of booking. We will send you, or your booking agent, the confirmation of your booking within 7 working days. Please check this confirmation very carefully to ensure all the information is correct and tell us, or your agent, immediately of any errors.

4. How is my money for the package I book protected?Your money is protected by the Consumer Guarantee described below and provided to you by the BCH Group.This is possible because we subscribe to the Code of Conduct of the BCH Group, which requires us to take out a bond from a financial entity in favour of the BCH Group for it to use to provide protection for your package money in the unlikely event that, for financial reasons, we can’t carry out our booking obligations to you.

5. BCH Group Consumer GuaranteeThe Bonded Coach Holiday Group guarantees to you that in the event of our failure through insolvency to pro-vide your package as booked, BCH Group will:5.1 wherever possible, arrange for your package to be completed;5.2 where failure occurs after your package has begun, arrange for you and those in your party covered by the booking to be returned by an appropriate means of transport to your UK area of departure;5.3 if the package cannot be completed as booked, to reimburse your booking-payments received by us, provided that BCH Group will first take in to account and withhold an appropriate amount if any part of the service has already been provided (including any substituted service) or you are entitled to a refund from your credit card provider. In the event that you are to be reimbursed under the BCH Group consumer guarantee, you will be asked to assign absolutely to BCH Group any right, claim or cause of action which you may have arising out of or con-nected with the subject matter and will be asked to assist BCH Group in any claim brought by them connected with the subject matter.

6. Payments by Credit CardIf you made payment for the booking of any services using a credit card it is likely in many circumstances that you have recourse against the credit card company in the event of services not being supplied in whole or in part due to the supplier’s financial failure. In those circumstances, you will be advised to check that you have exhausted your remedies against the credit card company.

7. When do I need to pay for my package and how much?We reserve the right to alter the prices of any of the packages that we advertise. At the time of booking you will be told the current price of the package. You can book by paying a deposit for each person named on the booking. You will be told at what point in time you will become committed to a booking, but we are not committed to the booking until such time as we provide you with our confirmation of booking. Our commitment is always conditional upon any balance being paid before the dates listed below. If you book within our balance due period you will need to pay the total package cost at the time of your booking.If you do not pay the outstanding balance for your package on or before the date when it is due we may cancel your booking and you will be required to pay the cancellation charges detailed below. The date of cancellation will normally be the date on which we receive your written confirmation that you intend to cancel or 15 days after the balance due date, whichever comes first. Deposit £50.00 per person Your balance is due 8 weeks (56 days) prior to departure Where optional items are purchased as part of the package these are payable on the balance due date except where items, such as theatre tickets, have been specifically purchased for you. In this case the cost will be payable at a separate date notified to you and will not normally be refundable unless we obtain a refund from the supplier we use.

8. If I use an agent who does my money belong to?Your agent will hold your deposit on your behalf until we issue a confirmation of your booking, which confirms there is a contract between us. The agent then holds this money on our behalf. The agent holds the balance you pay on our behalf until the date the balance is due. The agent will then forward the monies to us.

9. Can you change the price of my package after you have issued the booking confirmation?Yes we can, but only in very limited circumstances and not within 30 days of your departure. The price of your package can be varied due to changes in:-● transportation costs such as fuel and/or fuel tax, ferry operator fares and tolls, embarkation or disembarkation fees at terminals; exchange rates applied to the particular package booked; or● dues and taxes including changes in VAT or any other Government imposed charges.In the case of any variation described above, an amount equivalent to 2% of the price of your package, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges, will be absorbed. If this means that you would have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your package before increase, you may cancel it and receive a full refund of all monies paid, 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 re-use your policy. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your revised invoice. Alternatively, you can accept an offer of an alternative comparable package of equivalent or superior quality, if available, or an alternative package of lower quality, if available. You may then transfer payment made in respect of the original package to the alternative package. If the cost of the alternative package is less than the original package, the difference in price will be refunded. We will also pay compensation as set out below. Please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your package due to contractual and other protection in place.We calculate the price of your package using the exchange rates quoted on the BBC News Market Data Website on 4th September 2015 Country Exchange Rate £1.00 Sterling = €1.3675

10. Can I change my package arrangements?After we have issued our booking confirmation we will do our best to accommodate any changes you may want to make but we cannot guarantee to do so. Any changes must be notified to us in writing and signed by the person who signed the booking form. If we are able to make the changes an amendment fee of £20.00 will be payable plus the cost that we incur in making the amendment. The costs of making a change increases the closer to the departure date you want to make it. Some arrangements, like particular types of tickets, cannot be changed without paying a cancellation charge of up to 100% of the cost of the ticket.

11. Can I transfer my booking to someone else?You can transfer your booking to someone else provided you give us reasonable notice. This person must be able to satisfy all the conditions for the package and a change cannot normally be made later than seven days prior to departure. We will make an administration charge of £10.00 per booking for every transfer we make plus any reasonable additional costs caused by the transfer. You will remain responsible for ensuring that the package is paid for by the balance due date. This is in addition to (and does not affect) the separate liability of the transferee to us.

12. How can I cancel my package?You, or any member of your party, may cancel at any time provided that the cancellation is made by the person in whose name we issued the confirmation of booking and is communicated to us in writing via the office at which you made your original booking. You will have to pay cancellation charges set out in the scale below to cover our estimated loss resulting from the cancellation. If you are insured against cancellation you may be able to recover the charges from your insurers. Your cancellation will take effect from the date when either the travel agent or we receive your written confirmation of your cancellation. You must also return any tickets or vouchers that you have received. A reduction in room occupancy may increase the charges for the remaining passengers by the application of supplements for low occupancy of rooms.

13. Scale of Cancellation Charges Period before departure within which written cancellation of package price is received. Amount of cancellation Charge as a % of total package costMore than 42 days Deposit only28 - 42 days 30% 14 - 27 days 50%7 – 13 days 70%0 - 6 days 100%Departure day or later, including voluntary termination whilst on holiday, Total Holiday Cost

14. What happens if you change my package?The arrangements for your package will usually have been made many months in advance. Sometimes changes are unavoidable and we reserve the right to make them at any time. Most of these changes are likely to be minor and we will do our best to keep you or your booking agent informed.If, after booking and before departure, we make a significant change to your package you will have the option of withdrawing from the package without penalty or alternatively you may transfer to another package without paying an administration fee. In either case we will pay you compensation according to the scale set out below. A significant change includes a change in departure time or return time of more than 12 hours, a change of departure point, location of resort or type of hotel (excluding single overnight hotels on touring packages where the quality of the hotel is comparable), a change of mode when crossing the Channel or the specification of the coach.If you withdraw from the package because we have made a significant change, or if we have to cancel your package for any reason other than non-payment by you, we will offer you the choice of:• a comparable replacement package if available;• a replacement package of lower quality together with a refund of the price difference; or:• a full refund of the money you have paid.When we have notified you of the changes and options available, you must tell us your decision as soon as possible and within any timescale we may set, bearing in mind the need to safeguard the booking arrangements of other customers.

15. Scale of Compensation We will pay you compensation for significant changes on the following scale: Period before departure in which significant change is notified to you or your agent Amount per personMore than 42 days Nil 28 to 41 days £10 15 to 27 days £158 to 14 days £200 to 7 days £25Payment of compensation according to the scale set out above will not affect your statutory right to claim further compensation if, in all the circumstances, you remain dissatisfied.If, prior to departure, we make a significant change to your package arrangements or cancel your package we will pay you compensation on the above scale unless:• the package is cancelled because the number of persons who agreed to take it is less than the minimum number required, and you were informed of the cancellation in writing or where • the performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected (for eg. but not limited to delay, cancellations, change of itinerary, change of accommodation, change of transport) by Force Majeure i.e. the package is changed or cancelled by reason of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised. These include, but are not limited to, strikes, riots, political/civil unrest, government acts, hostilities, war, threat of war, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, fire, flood, tornadoes, hurricanes, transportation problems, airport closures, and severe weather conditions. We suggest you take out adequate travel insurance to cover such eventualities. In the unlikely event that the performance of our contractual obligations are prevented or affected due to Force Majeure after departure, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds (unless we obtain any from our suppli-ers). Advice from the Foreign Office to avoid or leave a particular country may constitute Force Majeure. We will follow the advice given by the Foreign Office.Payment of compensation according to the scale set out above will not affect your statutory right to claim further compensation if, in all the circumstances, you remain dissatisfied.If, after departure, we need to make a change to a significant proportion of your package we will do our best to make suitable alternative arrangements at no extra cost to you. If it proves impossible to make suitable alternative arrangements, or if you have reasonable grounds for refusing the alternative offered, we will arrange transport back to your point of departure or to an alternative location that we agree to, Unless the change is as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control (Force Majeure as described above), you will also be entitled to compensation.

16. What is the extent of our liability?Your package contract with us will be performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. We accept respon-sibility if you or customers named in the booking suffer death or personal injury, or the contractual arrangements are not provided as promised as a result of the failure of us, our agents or suppliers or the employees of each whilst acting in the course of their employment, unless the failure or improper performance is due to you any of the following:• a third party unconnected with the provision of the travel arrangements, or• unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised; or,• an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall

In these 3 events we would still endeavour to give prompt assistance if you are in difficulty and, if you inform us that you don’t believe you have received the contracted service, we will make prompt efforts to find appropriate solutions. For claims which involve death or personal injury we do not impose any restriction upon our liability to the extent that it arises from our negligence.

For all other claims which do not involve personal injury or death:• the most we will have to pay if we are liable to you is twice the price you’ve paid for your package (not includ-ing insurance premiums and amendment charges). • our liability will also be limited in accordance with/or in line with all relevant international convention. These include the Athens Convention (applies to transport by ship), the Berne Convention (applies to transport by rail), the Geneva Convention (applies to transport by road) and the Paris Convention (applies to accommodation). You can get copies of the relevant conventions from the Internet or from us. You should also note that these con-ventions limit or remove the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage. We will apply the limits of these conventions to any payments to you as if we were the carrier.

The above suppliers (such as accommodation or transport providers) have their own booking conditions or con-ditions of carriage, and these conditions may limit or remove the relevant transport provider’s or other supplier’s liability. You can get copies of such conditions from our offices, or the offices of the relevant supplier. We will pay you in accordance with these conditions which are incorporated into the Trading Charter.

If we make any payment to you or any member of your party for death or personal injury or illness, you will be asked to assign to us or our insurers the rights you may have to take action against the person or organisation responsible for causing the death, personal injury or illness.NB: this clause does not apply to any separate contracts that you may enter into for excursions or activities during or outside of your package.

17. What do I need to do if I have to complain?If you have a complaint during your package you should tell the driver/representative or supplier at the earliest opportunity so that they can do their utmost to resolve the problem immediately. If they are unable to resolve the problem to your satisfaction you should complete a Holiday Report Form which is available from the driver/representative. You will be given a copy of this report which you should keep. If, on your return from your pack-age, you remain dissatisfied you should write within 28 days to the Tour Manager.In your letter you will need to quote your name, tour, departure date and booking reference number.If you do not tell us at the earliest opportunity about a problem giving rise to your complaint we cannot take steps to investigate and rectify it at the time. We will take into account the date you first drew the problem to the attention of our driver/representative or supplier when responding to your complaint and it may affect your rights under this Trading Charter if we have not been able to investigate and remedy the situation at the time.

The Confederation of Passenger Transport UK has an independent arbitration scheme and full details are available from them. This scheme does not apply to claims that arise mainly in respect of physical injury or illness or the consequences of any illness or injury.

18. Our CoachesWe will always use our reasonable endeavours to provide a coach to the specification as described in our bro-chure or advertisement but reserve the right to substitute an alternative vehicle should unforeseen circumstanc-es arise. There is a seating plan of the coach for each package, but it is possible that on occasions operational reasons will require a coach with a different configuration to be used. We therefore reserve the right to alter a coach-seating plan and allocate seats other than those you have booked. Requests for particular seats can be made on most packages when booking but because allocations are made on a first come, first served basis you are recommended to book early. When your booking is confirmed you will be offered the best seats that are available at that time. If you know someone who may want to book later but sit near you please discuss this with the booking clerk at the time you make your booking.Specific seats will not be allocated on coaches which operate on feeder services between joining points and main package departure points or on coaches/cars which carry out transfers to and from seaports.

19. Hotel FacilitiesSome hotel facilities, such as indoor or outdoor swimming pools or leisure facilities may, from time to time, be withdrawn for routine maintenance or be subject to seasonal availability. The provision of these facilities is therefore not guaranteed.

20. Health & Safety during your packageIn some foreign countries, standards of infrastructure, safety and hygiene may be lower than those to which we are accustomed in the UK. You should therefore exercise greater care for your own protection. Further information can be obtained from your GP or from your travel agent who can provide you with the leaflet “Health Advice for Travellers” published by the Department of Health. Some people may be at risk from discomfort or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) if they remain immobile on a journey for a long period of time. If you are planning to undertake a bus or coach journey of more than 3 hours you should consult your doctor if you have ever had DVT or pulmonary embolism, a family history of clotting conditions, cancer or treatment for cancer, a stroke, heart or lung disease or if you have had major surgery in the past 3 months. We reserve the right to refuse any booking in the absence of a doctor’s certificate confirming that you are fit to travel. During the journey we will provide comfort stops as frequently as possible. During these stops you are encouraged to get off the coach and walk around. Exercise reduces any discomfort which may be caused by periods of immobility. During any journey you should drink alcohol only in moderation as it leads to dehydration.

21. Passenger behaviourWe want all our customers to have a happy and carefree holiday. But you must remember that you are responsible for your behaviour and the effect it may have on others. If you or any member of your party is abusive, or disruptive or behaves in a way which, in our reasonable opinion, could cause damage or injury to others or affect their enjoyment of their holiday or which could damage property, we have the right, after easonable consideration, to terminate your contract with us. If this happens we will have no further obligations or liability to you. The coach driver/representative, ship’s captain, or authorised official of other means of transport is entitled to refuse you boarding if in their reasonable opinion you are unacceptably under the influence of drink or drugs or you are being violent or disruptive. If you are refused boarding on the outward journey we will regard it as a cancellation by you and we will apply cancellation charges according to the scale set out above. If the refusal is on the return journey we have the right to terminate the contract and will have no further obligations or liability to you.

22. No smoking policySmoking is not permitted on our coaches.

23. PetsWe do not allow pets to be taken on our packages. Registered Assistance Dogs will normally be accommodated on UK packages but not on overseas packages.

24. Pick-up points, itineraries, travel documents and passportsYou are responsible for ensuring that you are at the correct departure point, at the correct time, with the correct documents and we cannot be held liable for any loss or expense suffered by you or your party because of an incorrect passport or late arrival at the departure point.

If you are a British citizen travelling outside the United Kingdom you must have a full UK passport valid for a minimum of three months after your scheduled date of return. Non-UK citizens must seek passport and visa advice from the relevant consulates or embassies of the countries you plan to visit prior to making a booking for one of our packages (and you are advised to check with the relevant consulate or embassy to ensure you allow sufficient time before your departure to apply for a visa). The name on the passport must match the name on the ticket. If someone in your party changes name after the booking is made you must tell us immediately so that we can issue the ticket in the new name.

When you have paid the balance we will send you or your booking agent all the necessary labels so that you receive them in good time for your holiday. Certain travel documents may have to be retained by us and your driver/courier will then issue them to you at the relevant time. If you lose a travel document after it has been is-sued to you we will require you to meet the direct cost charged by the carrier/supplier for the issue of a duplicate or replacement.

We reserve the right to modify itineraries to conform with requests from the competent authorities in the United Kingdom and any other sovereign state through which the tour will operate. We recommend that you read the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice about your holiday at www.fco.gov.uk.

Excursions which are included in the cost of your booking and are part of your package are detailed on the relevant brochure page. Refunds will not be made for any excursion not taken. Optional excursions may be booked and paid for in resort but these will not form part of your booking.

Admission fees to buildings, grounds etc. are not included in the price of the package unless otherwise stated on the relevant brochure page.

25. What happens if I am delayed?Your travel insurance may cover you for some delays. In addition where you are delayed for more than six hours in any one day we will seek to minimise any discomfort and where possible, arrange for refreshments and meals.

26. Do I need to take out travel insurance?We strongly advise all our customers to take out travel insurance to cover medical and repatriation costs, per-sonal injury, loss of baggage and cancellation charges. If you do not have adequate insurance and require our assistance during your package, we reserve the right to reclaim from you any medical repatriation or other expenses which we may incur on your behalf which would otherwise have been met by insurers.

27. What assistance will you give me if things go wrong when it is not your fault?In addition to what has already been stated (and without affecting that), if you, or any member of your party, suffer death, illness or injury whilst overseas arising out of an activity which does not form part of your package travel arrangements or an excursion arranged through us in the UK, we shall at our discretion offer advice, guid-ance and assistance. Where legal action is contemplated and you want our assistance, you must obtain our written consent prior to commencement of proceedings. Our consent will be given subject to you undertaking to assign any costs, benefits received under any relevant insurance policy to ourselves. We limit the cost of our assistance to you and any member of your party to £5000 per party.

28. Passengers with disabilities We want to ensure the arrangements for your package are suitable and appropriate. Not all the packages in this brochure may be suitable for you and, if we reasonably consider we cannot provide what is required, we will not accept the booking. Should you or a member of your party have any medical condition or disability that may affect your/their holi-day or that of other passengers, you must provide full written details to us at the time of booking so that we can advise you of the suitability of the holiday. This applies whether the booking is made on-line, in person, in writing, or by telephone. If a particular issue is identified, we reserve the right to request a doctor’s certificate confirming that the passenger is fit for travel and refuse any booking in the absence of such doctor’s certificate being produced upon request. If a passenger requires personal assistance (for example, but not limited to, assistance with feeding/dressing/toileting/mobilising) then this passenger must travel with an able bodied companion/carer and written confirma-tion that such assistance will be provided for the entirety of the holiday is required at the time of booking. Coach drivers/tour managers are unable to offer such assistance.Whilst we will make every reasonable adjustment to do so, if we are unable to accommodate the needs of a passenger or believe that the medical condition or disability of a passenger is likely to adversely affect other passengers, we reserve the right to decline the booking. We also reserve the right to cancel any holiday and impose cancellation charges if we are not fully advised of any relevant disability or medical condition at the time the booking is made and subsequently decide that we are unable to accommodate this passenger. This applies whether we advise that we are unable to accommodate a passenger either before departure or during the holi-day and if this occurs during the holiday then we will seek the additional costs of returning the passenger home.We want you to enjoy your package and will try to help you select an appropriate trip. If you need advice or further information either you or your booking agent should contact us directly.

29. Special requestsIf you require a special diet please tell us when booking, or as soon as you are medically advised, and send us a copy of the diet. We will notify the hotel or hotels identified in your booking but please note that some hotels may not have facilities to provide special diets and we cannot be held liable for their failure to do so unless the hotel has confirmed in writing that a special diet will be catered for. Where we think that a hotel is likely to be unable to cope with a special diet, we will tell you prior to your booking confirmation being issued so that you can exercise your right to cancel your package booking without charge. Any extra costs incurred by you during your package must be paid to the hotel by you prior to departure from the hotel.

You should also detail any other requests, for example, low floor rooms, particular rooms or locations on the special requests section of the booking form (or other method of confirming in writing that the request was made). We will pass your request to the relevant supplier but this does not necessarily mean that your request will be fulfilled. If a request can be fulfilled you may incur an extra charge payable either to us or direct to the hotel. Please note that requests cannot be guaranteed unless we confirm on your booking confirmation that this is a guaranteed requirement.

30. Single OccupancySingle occupancy of rooms when available may be subject to a supplementary charge and this will be shown on the brochure page.

31. Data Protection Act In order to process your booking and to ensure that your travel arrangements run smoothly and meet your requirements, we, and your travel agent, need to use the information you provide such as name, address, any special needs/dietary requirements etc.

We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the information on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as hotels, transport companies etc. The information may also be supplied to security or credit checking companies, public authorities such as customs/immigration if required by them, or as required by law.

Additionally, where your package is outside the European Economic Area (EEA), controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strong as the legal requirements in this country. We will not, however, pass information on to any person not responsible for part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities or dietary/religious requirements. If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, we cannot provide your booking. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant persons. Please note that where information is held by your travel agent, this is subject to your agent’s own data protection policy.You are entitled to a copy of your information held by us. If you would like to see this, please contact us.We retain your full contact details and other information in secure files and electronic storage facilities. We may use this information to contact you by mail, telephone or electronic means. We will provide you with details of other goods and services including those of selected third parties. If you do not wish to receive the further information about products and services (from either ourselves or third parties) please write to us.
