Mountain Adventure Holidays
Dear Tracks and Trails Guests
We hope this finds you in good health and that you are coping with these unusual times. Without doubt dealing with and managing the impact of COVID-19 has been challenging for everyone, with the travel industry being no exception.
We would like to advise you that our Terms and Conditions have now been updated.
Since mid-2020 we have offered full refunds whether it is we 'the operator', or you the 'client' who cancels. Given the improving situation with regard to Covid-19 we have taken the decision to reinstate our normal cancellations charges should you decide to cancel. These are detailed in Clause 10 of our Terms and Conditions. In line with other travel operators we can no longer be liable for the entirety of risk involved in taking a holiday during the pandemic.
10. Client Cancellation: If you, the client, wish to cancel your booking you must notify Tracks and Trails Ltd in writing, whereupon the following charges will be applied from the date we receive your notice of cancellation:
If you are travelling with us we recommend that you have appropriate travel insurance in the event of falling ill and testing positive for COVID-19 prior to or during your trip. You should also consider booking a policy that covers you if you have to cancel or curtail your holiday because you have to self-isolate. This is in addition to our normal requirement for insurance covering mountain rescue, trip cancellation, repatriation and medical expenses.
Trip Departures in 2021
Reduced number of trips and departures to allow us to focus on our most popular destinations.
Greater flexibility with regard to payment of your trip balance which is now due six weeks before departure, rather than eight weeks. Six weeks before departure we will update you with regard to your trip status, and discuss any restrictions which may impact on your trip.
Scheduled Departure holidays will be cancelled when the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office of the UK advises against ‘all but essential travel’.
Your money is legally protected by International Passenger Protection whether as payment for a specific holiday or as a credit note.
If we have to change or cancel your booking you have the following four options:
* If the cost of your new trip/date is different, a refund or balance will be due.
If you need to change or cancel your booking our standard cancellations charges will apply. You should also contact your travel insurance provider to see if your circumstances qualify for a claim on your insurance policy. You can find information about insurance here.
