Finca Holidays 2020 Holiday Brochure - Finca Supported Holidays
Our standard support provided is: 1 holiday assistant to a maximum of 3 clients; If additional support is required,
e.g.one to one, (one customer to one holiday assistant) then a further charge is applied at the time of booking.

Other trips and tours not included can be added and payment is paid in the resort. This cost is payable by you the
customer.

Your holiday does not include:

expenses, travel/cancellation insurance, transport to and from the designated airport, tips, postage, phone calls. It
is advisable for customers to have money to spend at airports in case of delays or other unforeseen
circumstances.

Travel Insurance: We highly recommend that you purchase your travel insurance at the same time as you
book your holiday.
You must take out travel insurance for all holidays (both in the U.K. and abroad) suitable for your needs at the
time of making your first payment. This should not be left until just before travelling as cancellation by the client
for any reason is required to be covered. We cannot be held responsible for any costs you incur as a result of
failing to do so. Personal travel insurance should be taken out for your own peace of mind and the insurance
should cover you for a minimum of cancellation due to illness, any emergencies which arise while you are away
and for loss or damage of personal possessions. Please read your policy details carefully when you receive them
and bring them with you when you travel.

Documentation for Travel:

any health requirements. Many Countries now require your passport to be valid for a period of 6 months from the
date you return.. If you need to apply for a new passport or renew an existing passport you should apply at least 8
weeks before your holiday. For up-to-date requirements visit: www.ips.gov.uk.
In most cases we will apply for any visa documentation that may be required.
Currently there are no visa requirements for British Citizens travelling to EU countries. Specific requirements can
be confirmed with the relevant Embassies / Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel
because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements.
At this time UK residents do not require any vaccinations for travel within the EU. We strongly advise you to
contact your GP / Nurse for the latest information on any destination.
Foreign and Commonwealth Office or relevant authorities will be able to offer up-to-date travel information to help
British Citizens make informed decisions about travelling abroad.

indication of what may be included on the corresponding holiday, it is not a comprehensive list or an Itinerary. A
confirmation letter together with a checklist, to enable you to make informed decisions (regards clothing, spends,
personal effects, documents…) will be sent out 21 days prior to the holiday, along with all information regarding flights.

anything that happens during the course of its provision by the operator.

For all holidays abroad you will be met at the designated departure airport in the UK, times and dates will be
mailed out to you 21 days before your holiday departure date. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that
they are at departure points in plenty of time, as although we would endeavour to wait as long as reasonably
possible, we cannot be held responsible if we have to start the holiday without the guests due to their late arrival.
(It is not our responsibility to get guests to and from the designated meeting points.) Assistance begins after a
handover period between Carer/family and Finca Holiday Assistants at the designated meeting points.

meeting points this can be requested at the time of booking and additional charges will be added.

Luggage:
Luggage is deemed to be the responsibility of the guest, and we cannot accept any liability for damage how so
ever caused. For this reason, we recommend that customers take out insurance cover.

Communication whilst on holiday
Finca staff enhances communications by uploading photographs and comments each day to our “Daily Update”
page via our website. This is a useful tool which enables carers/ families/interested parties to be reassured that
you are enjoying your break and they can follow your holiday experiences as they happen. In the event that any
individual does not wish to be included on our daily updates page or on our website please ident ify this clearly on
the booking form. Updates will still happen for other customers but without your image being shown.

Smoking:
Smoking is not allowed in any vehicle or accommodation, although there is usually a designated smoking area at
most venues.

Finca Holidays.
Safe keeping of personal belongings
We recommend that guests deposit the majority of their spending money, passports, EHIC and Insurance
documents (or other valuables). in a designated safe or identified place once at the venue. This is a matter of
choice for the customer but it is your responsibility to ensure safekeeping of personal belongings.
Adaptations/medical aids
Customers who require specific aids and adaptations (including incontinence aids/mattress protectors, stand aids,
shower chairs and any other specialist equipment) are requested to bring these items with them. If Finca is
provided with a formal request for the hire or location of such equipment then Finca Holidays can facilitate this on

to access medical treatment.

Paperwork systems
All paperwork used throughout the holiday i.e. risk assessments, health and safety records, financial recording
sheets, accident /incident reports are completed to British standards. (Please note we only use our own
paperwork systems not that of the individuals). In line with the principles of reducing environmental waste Finca
is moving towards a paperless system of recording, starting with the “Holiday Summaries” which have been
replaced by the “Daily Updates”.
Finca Holidays has full public liability Insurances.
Holiday Price
We reserve the right to alter the prices of any holiday’s shown in our brochure. You will be advised of the current
price of the holiday you wish to book before your contract is confirmed.
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 and exchange rates mean that the price
of your travel arrangements may change after you have booked. However there will be no change within 30 day s
of your departure. We will absorb and you will not be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of
your travel arrangements, which excludes any amendment charges. You will be charged for the amount over and
above that, plus an administration charge of £1.00 per person. If this means that you have to pay an increase of
more than 10% of the price of your travel arrangements, you will have the option of accepting a change to another
holiday 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. We will consider an appropriate refu nd of insurance premiums paid if
you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse 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 final invoice. Should the
price of your holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more than 2% of your holiday cost, then
any refund due will be paid to you. Please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local
currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other
protection in place.

If we cancel your holidays:
Holidays are based on an economic minimum number of passengers which is usually four (4) If you do not pay the
balance of the holiday cost on time we reserve the right to cancel your booking. We reserve the right to cancel your
holiday in any circumstance, but if we do so you can either have a refund or accept a replacement holiday of
corresponding value from us, subject to availability.
We will not be liable to pay any compensation if we are forced to cancel or in any way change your holiday as a result
of unusual or unforeseen situations outside our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even
with all due care. These include unavoidable technical problems with transport, changes imposed by rescheduling or
cancellation of flights by an airline or main charterer, the alteration of the airline or aircraft type, war or threat of war,
civil strife, industrial disputes, natural disaster, bad weather, epidemic or terrorist activity. (Force Majeure)
