Covid-19: Useful Travel Information
With the emergence of Coronavirus and the related press coverage, it is understandable that this will have raised questions and concerns for many of you regarding any travel plans.
As your local specialist travel agent, we would like to reassure you that we are closely monitoring the situation as it evolves. We receive the most up-to-date information and changes to travel advice from the UK Foreign Office and we are in direct contact with our travel partners at all times in order to keep abreast of the situation on behalf of our valued clients. As soon as there are any changes to current travel advice, we will immediately contact clients affected to discuss options with you.
For your peace of mind, we would like to take this opportunity to emphasise that, as a member of the Travel Trust Association, holidays booked with us are financially protected. We are already seeing our valued partners (tour operators and airlines) taking preemptive action by revising their booking conditions to include more flexible cancellation options during this uncertain time. This offers increased reassurance when making your travel plans. We work very closely with all our travel partners, affording us the breadth of up to the minute knowledge needed to be able to advise on the best options for you.
If you have questions about an existing booking or would appreciate some professional advice with regard to a future booking, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Our experienced team looks forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards
Parv
Manager – Worldwide Travel Agents
