TOUR DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT: Payment is accepted by personal or bank checks. For credit card payments,
please add a 3.5% service fee. YOU WILL BE INVOICED FOR THE BALANCE OF PAYMENT DUE ON OR
BEFORE FRIDAY, January 3, 2020
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
revision.
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
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.
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
PASSPORTS AND VISAS: Your tour requires a passport valid for 6 months beyond the return date of travel. If you do
not already have your passport, or it will expire within 6 months of the 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,
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.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING PRICING: The tour price as quoted is based on tariffs in effect for estimated 2019
prices as of July 1, 2019. 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 15 days prior to departure.
