These Booking Conditions set out the terms on which you contract with us, Discover the World Limited. For air-inclusive holidays you are protected by ATOL 2896 issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and for holidays not incorporating a flight you are protected by the Association of Independent Tour Operators Trust, number 1078. Additional protection is provided by our membership of The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) V2823.

All information provided in the brochure is, to the best of our knowledge or belief, correct at the time of publication. We will advise you of any changes that are fundamental to the contract or which we believe will affect your enjoyment of the holiday. Please advise us if there is any facility which you believe is fundamental to your holiday so that we can give you the latest information at the time of booking.

1. BOOKING

You must complete and sign a booking form and send this to us with a deposit of £150 per person. In the case of bookings made less than two months before departure we require payment in full. The person who signs the booking form accepts responsibility for the party, and in particular for payment for all the persons on the booking. You must be at least 18 years old to make a booking. Where a booking is made through a travel agent any money paid by you to the travel agent is held on our behalf. A contract is made when we accept your booking and send you our written confirmation and invoice. If we cannot accept the booking, any money paid will be promptly refunded.

For some tickets arranged by us, including those for standard scheduled airline flights and for some other flights organised other than through our tour operators, then:

a) the booking conditions of the airline concerned will apply to the purchase of the tickets for such flights;

b) such airline terms and conditions will take effect over these terms of booking;

c) the price for such tickets must be paid at the same time that the flight is booked;

d) the price for such tickets is non-refundable; and

e) such tickets cannot be changed, returned or exchanged for other tickets.

2. PAYMENT

We hold your deposit towards the full cost of the holiday. The balance must be received by us no later than two months prior to departure. If you do not pay the full cost within the time specified we may cancel your holiday.

Payment by Credit Card

We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express or cheques. Credit card transactions will also incur an additional charge of 1.2% of the transaction, except for payment of deposits and insurance premiums, as long as the booking is made more than two months prior to departure. This levy is not charged on Debit Card transactions.
