TOkYO
A heaving city of dizzying
dimensions and flashing
neon lights where gleaming
skyscrapers tower over a
swirling sea of people but
tranquil gardens and serene
temples lie just around the
corner, Tokyo launches an
exhilarating assault on the
senses. Technology stores spill
over with the latest gadgets and
Harajuku girls parade the latest
eye-catching fashions, yet the
citys roots are firmly placed in
history with ancient shrines and
the worlds oldest continuous
hereditary monarchy.

Climb the Tokyo Skytree
the worlds tallest tower, for
enchanting views over the
city towards Mount Fuji; see
the beautiful Sensoji Temple
illuminated at night and spend a
few yen to get your fortune told;
or sing your heart out at one of
the surprisingly addictive all-night
karaoke bars. The citys distinctive
districts are easy to explore
by public transport, which is
renowned for being punctual and
efficient and the famous bullet
train whisks travellers across the
country in record time.

Tokyo is a shopping mecca
offering everything from
electronic goods and comic
books to high-end fashion
and traditional kimonos. Stroll
along the tree-lined avenue of
Omotesando to browse designer
boutiques or head to the elegant
Mount Fuji
shopping district of Ginza which

boutiques and traditional shops
as well as a number of galleries
and cafs. The capital is also a
gastronomic paradise with an

whilst adventurous gourmands
will delight at the selection of
bizarre foods on offer such as
locusts, octopus ice-cream and
poisonous blowfish (fugu).

The modern buildings and
faades of the imperial city
of Kyoto belie the hidden
treasures that lie beyond. The
former capital until 1867 and
long regarded as the cultural
heart of Japan, Kyoto boasts
17 UNESCO World Heritage
Sites and a plethora of temples
and shrines. The city is a proud
guardian of its ancient traditions
and its winding alleys lead to
17th Century teahouses, tranquil
gardens and the famous geisha
and maiko district of Gion.

step on the nightingale floor
omits a squeak designed to
warn against intruder. If you

the culture, visit Kanikakuni a
former geisha house. Here,
you can dress up in a kimono
and learn about the history
of this traditional form of
entertainment.

Despite its tragic past, Hiroshima
has emerged from the dark
cloud of the devastating 1945
nuclear bombing as a vibrant
and thriving city that boasts
tree-lined boulevards, fantastic
museums, historic monuments,
enchanting gardens and
excellent cuisine. Dubbed the
City of Water due to the six
rivers that flow through it,

of Miyajima, which is known as
the Island of Shrines.

booking conditions 272 www.kuoni.co.uk

ii) Why are single rooms sometimes smaller than doubles or family
rooms?
Hotel design may mean that single rooms are smaller and sometimes
less well appointed. While there is normally a supplement for these
rooms, the overall cost will usually be less than when a single person
occupies a double room. We do not make additional or excessive profits
from these supplements. The prices we charge reflect the costs of
under occupancy of the rooms contracted to us by the hotel.
1.5 twin or double rooms
Accommodation in all hotels, regardless of the rating, is in standard
rooms (sometimes named superior/deluxe) based on twins or doubles
unless otherwise stated.
1.6 triple/quad rooms
A third or fourth person sharing a room either shares existing beds or
has an extra bed (which may be of camp-bed style) placed in a double/
twin room. As conditions may be cramped you may wish to consider
booking two rooms.
1.7 travelling with children
If you are travelling with young children, it is important to note that
child seats are not provided for transfers and the legislation varies from
country to country. If you specifically require a car seat, we advise you
to either take your own with you, or call our Sales team, and we will
do our utmost to try and arrange this for you - there may well be an
additional charge for this.
1.8 free child accommodation stays
Where we offer free child accommodation stays at many of our hotels,
these are generally based on sharing existing beds in the room. If you
require a separate bed, you must advise us at the time of booking, as
there may well be a charge added to your booking, or this charge may
be payable locally. Any meal plan charges will still apply.
1.9 minimum stays
Minimum stays are required at certain hotels for certain periods. Where
applicable these will be advised at time of booking.
The following terms and conditions (booking conditions) form the
basis of your contract with Kuoni Travel Limited. Please read them
carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. By asking
us to confirm your booking, we are entitled to assume that you have
had the opportunity to read and have read these terms and conditions
and agree to them.
Except where otherwise stated, these booking conditions only apply
to holiday arrangements which you book with us in the UK and which
we agree to make, provide or perform (as applicable) as part of our
contract with you. All references in these booking conditions to
holiday, booking, contract, package, tour or arrangements mean
such holiday arrangements unless otherwise stated.
In these booking conditions, you and your means all persons named
on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later
date) or any of them, as the context requires and lead name means
the person who makes the booking. We, us and our means Kuoni
Travel Limited.
before you book
1.1 choosing your holiday
The holidays contained within this brochure are for departures between
01 September 2013 and 31 December 2014. We hope that your Kuoni
holiday will live up to your expectations so it is very important that
you choose the right holiday for you. Space in our brochures to give
detailed information is limited but there is more information online at
www.kuoni.co.uk and our staff are always happy to advise and give
you their professional opinion.
1.2 confirming your holiday
When you decide to confirm your holiday with us, please ensure that
you cancel any other flights which may have been held for the same
dates/airlines, by other Tour Operators/Travel Agents. Failure to do so,
may result in the airline subsequently cancelling the flights we have
booked, and additional costs being incurred to re-book.
1.3 hotel gradings
Choosing the right hotel can be a dilemma, especially when travelling
to long haul destinations and whilst most hotels have official star
ratings locally, in some cases official ratings cannot always be relied
on. Subsequently we have categorised all hotels throughout the
brochure as three, four or five star to give a general guide. However,
standards can vary between hotels of the same class in different
countries, and even in the same country. For example city hotels
which often cater for business as well as leisure travellers may well
have generally higher standards than a beach resort hotel where the
whole atmosphere will tend to be more relaxed. It is important to
read carefully the individual hotel descriptions. A comparison of the
extra night cost shown in the price box against each hotel will also
give some idea of how hotels in the same resort/country are likely to
compare in terms of general standards.
1.4 single rooms
It is an unfair fact of life that single travellers often have to pay over the
odds for a room, often up to twice the price each person in a twin room
might have to pay. So we have negotiated some super deals and are
delighted to offer you the widest choice of single saver offers available
on the UK longhaul market today. Please check in the Kuoni Plus box on
each page for these very special offers. However note that the standard
and location of single rooms is not always as good as that of twin/
double rooms even when you pay the single supplement.

On safari, excursions and touring holidays single rooms cannot always
be guaranteed. Supplements paid will be refunded if a single room
previously confirmed is not available.
i) Why are single travellers asked to pay more for their room?
If a single person occupies a double room they will usually be asked to
pay extra (a single supplement). Hotels price their rooms, as doubles
or family rooms and they do not reduce the rates if it is occupied by a
single person. The costs to the hotel of providing the room heating,
lighting, cleaning etc are the same regardless of how many people
occupy that room. This also applies to self-catering units where, for
example, three people may choose to occupy accommodation priced
for four.
Important Holiday Information
booking conditions 273

1.10 booking a room for early arrival
or late departure
Generally hotel rooms will be available between approximately noon
and 3pm, and are to be vacated between 10am and noon, irrespective
of your arrival or departure times, unless we have stated otherwise.
Should you wish your room to be ready prior to noon on your day of
arrival or available after 10am for an afternoon or evening departure,
it is possible to reserve the room at the time of booking at a cost no
greater than the extra night price quoted on the brochure page.
1.11 kuoni plus/room upgrade/honeymoon/
anniversary offers
When the offer of a room upgrade is mentioned in Kuoni Plus, it
is not necessarily an upgrade to the next category featured in our
brochure, but usually an upgrade to the next category of room (not
suite) available within the hotel. We will of course do everything
possible to arrange the provision of a double bed for honeymoon
couples but it is not always possible to guarantee this and the
provision of a double bed does not constitute a term of your
contract with us. Anniversary offers only apply if youre celebrating
your Silver (25th) or Golden (50th) wedding anniversary while on
holiday. Remember to advise us if it your honeymoon or Silver/
Golden anniversary and to take a copy of your marriage certificate
with you on holiday. In order to qualify for a Kuoni Plus offer, your
stay and/or holiday must be started and completed within the date
band specified, under the individual offers as stated. For hotel sale
discounts and free night offers, where there is a minimum stay
requirement, the nights spent at the hotel must be consecutive.
The Kuoni Plus offers shown are correct at the time of printing this
brochure, but they may change at short notice, and not all offers can
be combined. These offers are frequently updated so for the most
up to date and available offers, please contact your travel agent and/
or our sales team, or check on-line to check which offers apply to
your holiday.
1.12 tours - general health requirements
Most of our tours are not suitable if you have any disability or have
reduced mobility (including being confined to a wheelchair). Therefore,
in the interest of safety and comfort for all groups as a whole, you must
be fit enough to participate or alternatively you must have an able
bodied carer to assist you on the tour.
1.13 free extras
At certain hotels we offer a free lunch, dinner, or hotel bar credit and
at other hotels we may offer up to a 20% discount on food and/or
beverage extras usually payable at the end of your stay. This offer is not
available if you pay by credit card, nor is a cash alternative available.
1.14 free night offers
Where we specify free night offers this will not necessarily mean free
nights are multiplied if you book a longer duration, therefore, please
ensure you ask at the time of booking to clarify the number of free
nights you will receive.
1.15 all inclusive and hotels for couples
Some hotels specified for couples cater for mixed sex couples only
and in some countries, such as Sri Lanka and Dubai same sex couples
are illegal. We recommend that if you are a same sex couple, you
thoroughly research your chosen hotel/destination before you book,
to ensure it is suitable. Hotels often place restrictions on restaurants
and meal arrangements. All Inclusive does not necessarily mean that
unlimited food and beverages are available 24-hours a day. Individual
hotels operate different policies and full details will be provided locally.
1.16 passports/visas/health
You will need a full 10 year passport to travel to the destinations we
feature in this brochure. Some destinations also require visas. You
should contact your GP or a specialist vaccination centre for details of
the measures you will need to take prior to departure. Please read
page 277 for more details prior to booking your holiday. Many
countries including USA now require children to hold their own
passports and additional countries are adopting this policy on an
ongoing basis. We therefore recommend that all children travel on
full passports.
1.17 experiences
Experiences which form part of your package: We are pleased to
be able to offer various experiences and activities, such as diving,
which you can pre-book in the UK and pay us as part of your holiday
arrangements. Some of these experiences and activities may require
you to be in good physical and mental health and, by booking with
us, you confirm that you and your party are in good health with no
medical history that would make it dangerous for you to participate.
You must observe safety instructions at all times. We will only accept
responsibility for these experiences and activities in accordance with
these booking conditions. The experiences and activities are subject
to minimum numbers, and may be cancelled at short notice. In such
circumstance, you will receive a full refund of monies paid for the
excursion or activity in question.
Experiences which do not form part of your package: We are also able
to offer assistance and reserve certain experiences and activities for
you, for which you pay locally. In these circumstances, we only act as a
booking agent for the operator or the excursion or activity concerned.
Your contract will therefore be with the local operator which provides
it and it does not from part of your contracted holiday arrangements
with us. The contract will be subject to the local operators terms and
conditions, some of which may exclude or limit its liability to you,
and will be governed by local law and jurisdiction. Kuoni accepts no
liability for any breach of contract or negligent act or omission of any
excursion/activity provider.
1.18 children on holiday
Offers are subject to availability of triple or quad rooms. Infants
under the age of 2 years on the date of return flight pay from
45 for European flights, 199 for longhaul flights and 249 for
Australia/New Zealand flights when travelling in economy. Please
note meals are not provided for infants. Infant charges are based on
an infant sitting on an adults lap and additional charges will apply
for infants requiring their own seat. Any charge for a baby cot in the
room and food are paid by the guest direct to the hotel and there is
no entitlement to a separate seat on the aircraft if the flight is full.
International airline regulations allow only one infant per adult. We
do not allow holidays for children under 10 on escorted tours, coach
tours or on safari (unless in private minibus). Some destinations,
owing to their lack of special child or medical facilities are also not
suitable for very young children but we would be happy to advise
which hotels or resorts we think suit your requirements best. See
the relevant price box where any specific minimum age restrictions
are given.
1.19 under 18s travelling without parents
Please note, under 18 year olds travelling without their parents
or other adults, (including friends parents) will need to have
written authority from their parents and translated where necessary,
with both notarised. This is necessary for certain countries only
and you should ensure that you check the specific requirements
of the relevant country to which you are travelling, as you may be
refused entry.
1.20 public holidays
Virtually all countries have public holidays, religious or otherwise. The
festivities may temporarily disrupt your holiday and some religious
holidays such as Ramadan, which affects many Muslim countries
may result in a reduction of facilities and entertainment. Others are
somewhat chaotic but great fun to be a part of. We suggest that you
take this into consideration when selecting your departure date. The
dates known to us at the time of going to press, are:
Ramadan: 28 June 2014 (approx. for one month)
Chinese New Year: 31 January 2014
Hindu Holi Dye throwing feast (India & Nepal): 17 March 2014
Sinhala & Tamil New Year (Sri Lanka): 14 April 2014
Diwali (India): 23 October 2014
Kings birthday (Thailand): 05 December
The appropriate Tourist Offices are happy to supply more detailed
information or you may wish to refer to the internet.
1.21 local festivals
Various events are organised in most towns throughout the season, and
we therefore suggest that you thoroughly research your chosen area
before booking.
1.22 other hotel guests
Many hotels, especially in cities and major resorts, accommodate
conventions and conferences. Also, at certain times of the year, some
destinations have an influx of groups such as students, associations
or clubs. The hotels we feature are shared with guests from many
countries with different cultures and customs. We have no control
over the acceptance of bookings at the hotels we feature other than
our own. We are therefore unable to accept any responsibility for any
inconvenience caused by such groups or their activities.
1.23 holiday seasons
Most of the destinations we feature in this brochure are available all
year round. Some do have quieter off peak periods when you can
take advantage of uncrowded beaches and more personal attention
from hotel staff at excellent prices. At this time it may be necessary
for hotels to scale down the size of some of their facilities, such as
restaurants, to match demand. Similarly, during peak periods hotels
experience full occupancy which may result in a livelier atmosphere
and slower service in busier facilities.
1.24 meals
Meals if included are based on table dhte menus, or a meal voucher
system unless specified otherwise in the text. Holidays which include
main meals generally commence with dinner on the day of arrival at
your hotel and terminate with breakfast (on half board) or lunch (on full
board) on the day of departure. All Inclusive packages generally finish at
check-out time on your day of departure between 10am and noon. After
this time, payment for any additional meals must be made direct to the
hotel. No refunds on meals not taken can be given. Special diets of any
kind (including vegetarian) can seldom be catered for adequately within
the constraints of a table dhte menu and cannot be guaranteed.
We would therefore strongly recommend that anyone with special
requirements takes a holiday where no meals (or only breakfast) are
included and simply buys the most acceptable dishes from the la
carte menu available locally.
Where breakfast is included this will more commonly be continental
breakfast, although full breakfasts are provided at certain hotels. Please
ask at the time of booking if this is important to you.
Supplements shown in our brochures for optional meal plans offer
you the opportunity of being able to budget for extra costs before you
go. In some cases you may find the cost of the meal cheaper locally,
however we regret that it will not be possible to refund the difference
either during or after your holiday. Pre booked meals may be subject to
dining in the main restaurant only and on occasion it may be necessary
to be seated with other hotel guests.
If you have paid a half board supplement it may be possible in some
hotels to ask for a credit from the table dhte dinner to be used
against a meal in an la carte restaurant. However the value of
the voucher will generally be considerably less than the half board
supplement included in your holiday price.
1.25 upgrading your flight
A longhaul flight is generally not a joyride when flying in economy
class on scheduled or charter flights. Flights are often full, your choice
of seats may not be available, and it may not be possible to obtain
seats together. In many cases a choice of upgrade options may be
available, to give you a more comfortable journey at a reasonable
supplement.
1.26 flight seat requests, airlines and aircraft
We strongly recommend (particularly if you are flying economy
class), that you check in early if you have particular seat requests.
Kuoni has no control over the allocation of seats by the airline and
even if a request has been made with the airline to prebook seats, no
guarantee can be made that they will still be available on departure.
The provision of particular seats does not constitute a term of your
contract with us. Please note airlines operate both older and more
modern aircraft within their fleet.
We regret we cannot guarantee the type of aircraft you will travel on
as this may be subject to change and general availability. Although
some airlines offer the facility to book seats online, this is not always
possible when booking a holiday through us, as the holidays we offer
are based on special Tour Operator fares.
In accordance with EU directive (EC) no. 2111/2005, we are
required to bring to your attention the existence of a Community
List which contains details of air carriers that are subject to an
operating ban within the EU Community. The Community list is
available for inspection at http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air-ban/
list_en.htm
We are required to advise you of the actual carrier(s) (or, if the
actual carrier(s) is not known, the likely carrier(s)) that will operate
your flight(s) at the time of booking. We do this by listing carriers
to be used or likely to be used on the relevant brochure pages and/
or your holiday confirmation invoice. Any changes to the actual
airline after you have received your tickets will be notified to you
as soon as possible and in all cases at check-in or at the boarding
gate. Where we are only able to inform you of the likely carrier(s)
at the time of booking, we shall inform you of the identity of the
actual carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of this. Any change to
the operating carrier(s) after your booking has been confirmed will
be notified to you as soon as possible. If the carrier with whom you
have a confirmed reservation becomes subject to an operating ban
as above as a result of which we/ the carrier are unable to offer you
a suitable alternative the provisions of If we change or cancel your
holiday will apply.
1.27 direct flights
The flight routings used in connection with our holidays may be
used on special fares which do not necessarily take the most direct
route. Some itineraries require a change of aircraft en route. A flight
that is described as direct is one where there is no need to change
aircraft during the journey. However stops may be made en route for
refuelling or to let passengers on and/ or off. Details of any stops will
be given on your itinerary wherever possible. However, should you
require this information at an earlier stage, please check with your
Travel Agent and/or our Sales staff at the time of booking, or our
HelpDesk once the booking has been invoiced.
kuonis price guarantee
All prices quoted in this brochure are calculated on rates of
exchange as known on 17 May 2013 and as published in the
Financial Times of 19 May 2013 (1=US$1.5192). Brochure prices

the up to date price of your chosen holiday, including the cost
of any peak season supplements, fuel surcharges, upgrades or
additional facilities which you have requested*. Once you have

fully guaranteed and will not be subject to any surcharges.

not included
Visa fees, overseas airport taxes, overseas porterage, any

government taxes or compulsory charges introduced after
publication of this brochure.
Optional excursions or activities booked during your holiday.


1.28 code share flights
It is a common practice for scheduled airlines to use a code share
system, which may include you flying with a partner airline. Where this
situation arises, it is not classed as a major change.
1.29 no frills carriers
We provide a choice of scheduled and no frills carriers to take
advantage of the flexibility and pricing available. You should note
that no frills flights do not include in flight meals. The deposit at
the time of booking is 150 per person or 10% of the total holiday
cost, whichever is the greater plus the cost of the airfare. However,
it may occasionally be necessary to charge a higher deposit due
to a fluctuation in airfares, details of which would be advised to
you at the time of booking. Any changes to destination / routing
will be subject to availability and will incur the loss of the original
deposit collected. Date and name changes are permitted, subject to
availability and the relevant charges imposed as per the individual
airlines own policies (details available on request). Any changes
made may also result in additional charges due to an increase in
airfare or charges imposed.
1.30 charter flights
We provide these to destinations where there are usually no direct
scheduled flights, and/or insufficient capacity on these services to
meet demand. A charter flight is usually the cheapest and quickest
way of reaching the particular destination. However, it should
be noted that leg room is slightly less than in economy on some
scheduled flights.
1.31 smoking
The majority of airlines have introduced a total smoking ban on most
or all of their flights and many hotels also now have a non-smoking
policy in hotel rooms and public areas. Please ask at the time of
booking if this information is important to you.
1.32 special requests
Where a special request eg. diet, room location, twin or double
bedded room, a particular facility at a hotel, flight seat requests
and/or particular meals etc. is an important factor in your choice
of holiday, you must advise us when the booking is made. We are
happy to pass your request on to the hotel, airline or other supplier
but cannot guarantee that it will be accommodated. We will also
pass on any dietary requests to airlines but we recommend that you
check directly with the airline once your tickets have been issued.
The provision of any special request does not constitute a term of
your contract with us. Confirmation that a special request has been
noted or passed on to the supplier or the inclusion of the special
request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation
is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until
specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to availability.
For your own protection, you should obtain confirmation in writing
that a special request will be complied (where it is possible to give
this) where it is important to you.
1.33 if you have a disability or medical
condition which may affect your holiday
If you have any medical condition or disability which may affect your
holiday or any special requirements as a result of any medical condition
or disability (including any which affect the booking process), please
tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can assist you in
considering the suitability of the arrangements and/or making the
booking. In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the
time of booking and whenever any significant change in the condition
or disability occurs. You must also promptly advise us if any medical
condition or disability which may affect your holiday develops after
your booking has been confirmed.
Kuoni complies fully with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2006 concerning
the rights of disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility when
travelling by air and is delighted to offer assistance to disabled persons
or persons with reduced mobility provided that we are given full
information about your specific requirements at the time of booking.
1.34 excursion/meal packages
Excursion or meal packages which are offered in this brochure are not
always cheaper than buying the same arrangements locally. It is often
the case that these packages are offered for the convenience of being
both booked and paid for in the UK. The cost of any unused tours
within excursion packages may not be refunded.
1.35 local purchases
We cannot accept responsibility for any items you may purchase locally
ie: jewellery/furniture etc and the quality and value of such cannot be
guaranteed. We recommend that you check whether or not any extra
charges will be payable for import duty or freight and we are unable to
assist with any costs you may incur in this respect.
1.36 group transfers
Our holidays include group transfers from airports/hotels and vice
versa unless otherwise stated on the appropriate pages or your
documentation. A group transfer is generally a shared transfer and the
type of vehicle used will normally be dependent upon the size of the
group, with stops being made en route to drop off/pick up other clients
and therefore, the actual duration of your transfer will be dependent
upon this. Alternatively, in many destinations, you have the choice of
upgrading to your own private transfer at the appropriate cost, details
on request.
1.37 weather
World weather is becoming more erratic and unpredictable and we
cannot be held responsible for disruption to your holiday due to bad or
unusual weather conditions.
1.38 our staff
We pride ourselves on the quality and friendly professionalism of our
staff. In our search to continually try and improve our level of service,
we are committed to on-going training, part of which involves the
recording of phone calls.
1.39 late bookings & special offers
Please note that many of the hotels and tours included in our late
bookings and/or special offers are also featured in our other main
brochures/website. Any offers/facilities detailed therein are not
applicable to late bookings or special offers unless otherwise stated.
booking and paying for your holiday
2.1 your commitment to us
When you or your Travel Agent wish to confirm a holiday booking
you must pay a deposit of either 175 per person or 10% of the
holiday cost, whichever is the greater, or any higher deposit which
applies to your holiday. The deposit will only be refundable as set
out in these booking conditions. Please note some airlines have
certain ticketing deadlines and some hotels have certain booking
and cancellation conditions and these may affect any cancellation
charges please refer to 3.3 - Cancelling your holiday. When you
make a booking, the lead name confirms that you understand and
have accepted these booking conditions and our Important Holiday
Information which forms our booking conditions. We reserve the
right in our absolute discretion to refuse to accept any booking
without necessarily specifying a reason. Many airlines now require
the full name of all passengers travelling. We will therefore ask
you at the time of booking to provide us with your first forename
(as shown in your passport) as well as your title and surname.
When booking your holiday, if you wish to make a modification to
a holiday shown in the brochure we will try to assist. Should you
wish to change to an alternative featured hotel, this will be charged
at the difference in published price, as long as Kuoni holds the
space required. Additional services will be quoted for upon request.
Should you wish to extend your holiday by making your own private
arrangements, this can usually be done subject to an administrative
charge of 3 per person per night. Prices for accommodation only
bookings can be quoted on request. We accept various methods of
payment, however please note that if you choose to pay by credit
card, there will be a charge levied. You can of course opt for an
alternative method of payment ie: cheque or by debit card.
2.2 our commitment to you
We will arrange to provide you with the various services which
form part of the holiday you book with us. Before your booking
is confirmed and a contract comes into existence, we reserve the
right to increase or decrease, and correct errors in advertised prices
(see Kuonis Price Guarantee opposite) and to change any of the
information contained in this brochure. Changes will be made known
to you at the time of booking. The prices we advertise are based
on specially negotiated airfares to be booked in a specific airline
booking class. At the time of booking, if there is a lack of availability
in the specified class on any particular flight, we will endeavour to
secure seats for you in an alternative economy class and you will be
told the amount of the applicable flight supplement / higher deposit
before you book.
A booking is not accepted until we issue an invoice. The date shown
on the invoice, which will be sent to you or your Travel Agent is the
date of booking. It is important to check the details on the invoice
when you get it. If any details appear to be incorrect or incomplete,
please contact us or your Travel Agent immediately as it may not
be possible to make changes later. We regret we cannot accept any
liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracy (for which we are
responsible) in any document within 10 days of our sending it out (5
days for tickets). We will do our best to rectify any mistake notified
to us outside these time limits but you must meet any costs involved
in doing so. Once your booking is confirmed, you will be given
a reference number. Your booking reference is also used as your
unique password. It is important that you do not give your reference
number to anyone or it will allow access to view, amend or cancel
your booking via our website.
The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations
1992 require us to provide security for the monies that you pay
for the package holidays booked from this brochure and for your
repatriation in the event of our insolvency. We hold an Air Travel
Organisers Licence issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (ATOL
number 0132). When you buy an ATOL protected air inclusive
holiday or flight* from us you will receive a confirmation invoice
from us (or via our authorised agent) confirming your arrangements
and your protection under our ATOL. In the unlikely event of our
insolvency the CAA will ensure that you are not left stranded abroad
and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an
advance booking. Please note: Not all holiday or travel services
offered and sold by us will be protected by the ATOL scheme * The
air inclusive holidays and flights we arrange are ATOL protected
providing either the person who pays for the booking is present
in the UK when the booking is made or the first leg of any flight
or flights we arrange for you commences in the UK. For further
information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk.
We are a member of ABTA (ABTA No V258X). When you buy a package
holiday that doesnt include a flight, protection is provided by way of a
bond held by ABTA The Travel Association. Please go to www.abta.com
for a copy of the guide to ABTAs scheme of Financial Protection.
If you book arrangements other than a package holiday from
this brochure (e.g. accommodation only), the financial protection
referred to above does not apply.
If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable
to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an
alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the
Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a
benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for
such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any
claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the
non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel
agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that
any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body
has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme.
2.3 out of date range flights
Our brochures are prepared well in advance and scheduled airlines
will generally not have loaded their seats to sell until approximately
10 months before the departure. Should this apply we will inform
you at the time of booking and calculate the price in anticipation
that seats will be available in the specific airline booking class
to which our specially negotiated airfares apply. We will issue an
invoice recording the arrangements reserved for you and will take
a deposit. A contract between us will then come into existence on
the basis that the price payable will be that applicable when the
airline releases the seats and the timings and other flight details will
be those confirmed at that time which may be different to those
advised at the time of booking.. When the airline seats become
available to book we will tell you the price and other flight details
and give you 7 days to tell us whether you wish to continue with
the booking on the basis of the confirmed price and other details
or cancel and receive a full refund. If you wish to continue with
the booking, we will issue a revised invoice. In the event that flight
seats do not become available, you will receive a full refund of your
deposit. We will have no other liability and will not be responsible
for refunding the cost of any services booked in conjunction with
the flights.
2.4 peak season supplements
During peak periods such as Christmas and Easter when demand
outstrips the supply of airline seats and accommodation, you
may find that supplements are added to the cost of your holiday.
The supplements may be for certain holiday departures and/or
accommodation on specific dates.They do not necessarily indicate
that additional services such as Gala dinners will be provided. The
cost of these supplements will be quoted to you at the time of
booking.
2.5 from prices
Kuoni offers you the flexibility to create your own holiday from the
range of accommodation and services available. Because of the
wide choice, it is not possible to list every price on every date. A
from price is indicative of the lowest price available for the hotel
or itinerary featured but this may vary depending on a number of
factors such as your date of travel and choice of accommodation.
To help you in choosing a holiday which is tailor made by us to your
requirements, please call our Sales team, or visit your travel agent
or our website for further information about services and prices. We
will be happy to provide you with an up to date quote.
2.6 paying for your holiday
After your booking is taken and a deposit received, a confirmation
invoice will be sent to you detailing the total cost due. Full payment
must be received not less than 61 days before departure. If we or
your travel agent have not received full payment at least 61 days
before departure, we reserve the right to treat your booking as
cancelled by you and forfeit your deposit by way of cancellation
charges. If we do not cancel straight away because you have
promised to make payment, you must pay the cancellation charges
shown in 3.3 depending on the date we reasonably treat your
booking as cancelled. If you make a holiday booking within 61 days
of your departure date then you must pay the full cost of the holiday
at the booking stage. All money paid by you to one of our authorised
travel agents for your holiday will be held by the agent on our behalf
until paid to us.
2.7 pricing errors
Whilst we endeavour to ensure that the most up to date and correct
prices are shown on our website and in our brochures, there may
on occasion be an incorrect price shown, due to an unfortunate
error. When we become aware of any such error, we will endeavour
to notify you at the time of booking (if we are then aware of the
mistake) or within 7 days of the time of booking, or as soon as
reasonably possible. We must reserve the right to cancel the booking
if you do not wish to accept the price which is actually applicable
to the holiday in which case, you will be given the choice to amend
your booking to an alternative holiday, at the correct price.
2.8 overlapping price panels
Holidays which do not fall completely within the date bands specified
in the price box may be subject to a reduction or increase. The exact
cost of your holiday will be confirmed to you at the time of booking.
2.9 insurance
It is important that you have insurance cover and that it is adequate
and suitable for your particular needs. If you fail to take out
insurance and have to cancel your booking, you will be charged
in accordance with our normal terms and conditions see 3.3
Cancelling your holiday. Furthermore, if you require medical/any
other form of assistance whilst on holiday you will not be covered
and you in turn may incur significant costs. Please read your policy
details carefully and take them with you on holiday.

2.10 travel information and documents
After booking you will receive an invoice with all important
information relevant to your destination. We strongly recommend
you check the details carefully and read the information. Please
ensure that you check your flight timings carefully on your tickets.
The correct timings, using the 24 hour clock, may have been
adjusted since we published the brochure and since you received
your invoice.
Approximately 14 days before departure you will receive your
eticket together with your final itinerary. However in the case of late
bookings, changes or late payments, tickets may be emailed to you.
if you want to change or cancel
your holiday
3.1 changes or additions to your holiday
If you want to change any part of your holiday arrangements after
the invoice has been issued, we will do our best to make the change,
but it may not be possible. Any request for changes must be made in
writing by the person who made the original booking, or his or her
travel agent. If it is possible to make the change, it will be subject to
an administration charge of 50 per booking, and payment of any
further costs incurred as a result of the change. If we agree that you
may change your booking to a holiday of lower value, and then you
cancel that holiday, we reserve the right to levy cancellation charges
on the value of the original booking. Scheduled airlines normally
regard name changes as a cancellation and rebooking, and any
alteration may incur a 100% cancellation charge in respect of the air
fare. Please note that save for the transfer of a booking (see below),
or the addition of any offers made by Kuoni in the brochure which
were not requested at the time of booking, it will not be possible to
make changes within 28 days of your scheduled departure date.
3.2 transferring bookings
If any person named on a booking is prevented from travelling as a
result of illness, the death of a close relative, jury service or other
significant reason, we will agree to that persons booking being
transferred to another person (introduced by you) who satisfies all
the conditions applicable to the package, subject to both persons
accepting liability for full payment of the holiday cost and all costs
and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our
suppliers in order to make the transfer. We must be given at least
14 days notice of the transfer request. An administration charge
will be made of 50 per person for requests made more than 61
days before departure, and 100 per person within 61 days before
departure. For flight inclusive bookings, you must pay the charges
levied by the airline concerned. As most airlines do not permit name
changes after tickets have been issued for any reason, these charges
are likely to be the full cost of the flight. If you request to change all
names on a booking, this will be considered as a cancellation and
new booking and full cancellation charges will apply.
3.3 cancelling your holiday
If you or anyone on your holiday booking decides to cancel the
holiday, the lead name must notify us of the decision as soon as
possible. Any notification by telephone must also be confirmed in
writing or by e-mail within 24-hours by the lead name. Cancellation
will take effect from the day we are notified provided that written
confirmation is received by us within 24-hours of the original
notification.
A cancellation invoice will be sent to you or your travel agent within
7 days, if you do not receive this please contact us immediately
in order to prevent an increase in charges. You may also check
your booking has been cancelled on our web-site, www.kuoni.
co.uk. Should you already be in receipt of your airline tickets please
also return these to us along with your cancellation request. The
following scale of charges will be payable depending on when
the notification of cancellation is received. Insurance premiums
and amendment charges are are not refundable in the event of
cancellation. References to the deposit include all sums paid or
payable at the time of booking.
Period prior to departure notice Cancellation charge per
of cancellation is received by person cancelling
us or your travel agent
Prior to 61 days: loss of deposit
60 42 days: 50% of total holiday cost
14 days or less: 100% of total holiday cost
NB In certain cases the airline may have applied certain ticketing
deadlines to your booking and this may result in higher cancellation
charges. This also applies to certain hotels, who may often charge
a higher cancellation fee regardless of the above-mentioned
timeframes, and you may therefore be charged a higher amount
than detailed above. It is therefore important to enquire for details
at the time of booking and cancellation.
We would strongly recommend that you take out appropriate
travel insurance which provides cover against loss of deposit or
cancellation fees. If you have taken advantage of an airline offer
as detailed on the relevant page and paid a higher deposit, the
cancellation charge payable by you will be the higher of this deposit
or the appropriate cancellation charge detailed above.

your holiday
4.1 brochure accuracy
We rigorously check the information given in our brochure about
accommodation, resorts, itineraries etc., to ensure it is correct to the
best of our knowledge at the time of going to press ( June 2013).
However, as brochures are prepared well in advance, advertised
descriptions and facilities may change before and after you book.
Please check the up to date position at the time of booking. Please
bear in mind that hoteliers, restaurateurs, night club owners etc.,
may wish to maintain or improve their facilities, or even take a break
themselves. Flight times, carriers and routes in the brochure are
given for guidance only as there may be changes. Final details will
be shown on your tickets. Tour, excursion, cruise or safari itineraries
may change as a result of local conditions. Circumstances such as
these, or weather conditions, time of year or other situations beyond
our control etc., may cause some of the amenities we have described
to be unavailable or different from those advertised in our brochure.
When we are told of any significant or long term changes we will
always endeavour to advise you prior to your departure.
4.2 building and development work
Many hotels and resorts are continuing to develop, sometimes
rapidly and intensively and often with little or no advance warning.
Whilst we have no control over such work, as a responsible tour
operator, it is important to us that you are aware of any significant
building/refurbishment work that may be going on during your stay.
General refurbishment at hotels is necessary to maintain standards
but if we are informed of such work we will endeavour to notify you
of as soon as possible, however near to your departure this may be.
4.3 flight changes
The flight timings shown in our brochure, on our website and/or
detailed on your confirmation invoice are for guidance only and are
subject to alteration and confirmation. Flight timings are outside our
control. They are set by airlines and are subject to various factors
including air traffic control restrictions, weather conditions, potential
technical problems and the ability of passengers to check in on time.
Airlines occasionally may change the type of aircraft used on a
particular flight without advance warning. Scheduled and charter
flight timings, and days of operation are subject to change. We will
advise you of any significant changes. Minor timing changes will be
shown on the flight tickets, which you should check carefully when
received. Should the changes involve a reduction in the duration of
your holiday, we will offer you a refund of any applicable costs. Any
change in the identity of the airline, flight timings and/or aircraft
type (if advised) will not entitle you to cancel or change to other
arrangements without paying our normal charges except where
specified in these conditions.
4.4 if we change or cancel your holiday
before your departure
We hope and expect to be able to provide you with all the services
we have confirmed to you at the time of booking.
We plan arrangements a long time in advance of your holiday using
independent suppliers such as airlines, hotels etc., over whom we
have no direct control. On occasions changes do have to be made,
and we reserve the right to make these. Most of these changes are
minor. However, occasionally, changes are significant.
A significant change includes a change of accommodation to that of
a lower category and/or price for the whole or a major part of your
time away, a change of flight time of more than 12 hours, a change
of UK departure airport (except between London airports), or a
significant change of resort area. Similarly, we do our best to avoid
cancelling holidays but we must reserve the right to do so. However,
we promise we will only cancel your confirmed booking after you
have made full payment where we are forced to do so as a result
of force majeure as defined below or lack of minimum numbers.
Please note, some of our holidays require a minimum number of
participants to enable us to operate them. If the minimum number
of bookings required for a particular holiday has not been received,
we are entitled to cancel it. We will notify you or your travel agent of
cancellation for this reason no later than 61 days prior to departure.
If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as
soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we will
offer you the choice of the following options:-
(a) (for significant changes) accepting the changed arrangements; or
(b) purchasing an alternative holiday from us, of a similar standard
to that originally booked if available. If this holiday is in fact cheaper
than the original one, we will refund the price difference. If you do
not wish to accept the holiday we specifically offer you, you may
choose any of our other then available holidays. You must pay the
applicable price of any such holiday. This will mean your paying more
if it is more expensive or receiving a refund if it is cheaper; or
(c) cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will
receive a full and quick refund of all monies you have paid to us.
If we have to make a significant change or cancel we will, where
compensation is appropriate, pay you the compensation payments
set out in the table below depending on the circumstances and when
the significant change or cancellation is notified to you subject to
the following exceptions. Compensation will not be payable and
no liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices can be
accepted where (1) we are forced to make a change or cancel as
a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our
control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even
with all due care or (2) we have to cancel because the minimum
number of bookings necessary for us to operate your holiday has not
been reached (see above). No compensation will be payable and the
above options will not be available if we cancel as a result of your
failure to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions
entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time) or where a change is
a minor one. A change of flight time of less than 12 hours, airline
(except where otherwise stated), type of aircraft (if advised) or
destination airport will all be treated as minor changes.
Period before departure within which a Compensation
significant compensation change or cancellation Per Person
is notified to you or your travel agent
More than 60 days: NIL
60 42 days: 20
41 28 days: 30
27 15 days: 40
14 0 days: 50
4.5 changes due to circumstances beyond
our control
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking
conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any
compensation where the performance or prompt performance of
our obligations under our contract with you is prevented or affected
by or you otherwise suffer any damage, loss or expense of any
nature as a result of force majeure. In these booking conditions,
force majeure means any event or circumstances which we or the
supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due
care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include, whether actual or
threatened, war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute,
natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, epidemics,
fire and other situations which are outside our control.
4.6 if we change your holiday accommodation
We do not control the day to day management of your
accommodation, and in exceptional cases it is possible that we may
be advised that the reserved accommodation has been overbooked
or your accommodation may have to be changed for other reasons.
If this happens before your departure or on arrival in resort we will
endeavour to provide accommodation of at least the same standard
in the same resort area. If only accommodation of a lower standard
is available we will refund the difference of the brochure price
between the accommodation booked and that available, and will pay
up to 50 per person for any inconvenience.
4.7 if we curtail your holiday after departure
Very rarely, we may be forced by force majeure (see 4.6) to change
or terminate your holiday after departure but before the scheduled
end of your time away. This is extremely unlikely but if this situation
does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds
(unless we obtain any refunds from our suppliers), pay you any
compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.
4.8 minimum numbers
Price boxes on relevant pages will indicate whether a particular
holiday is subject to a minimum number of participants for its
operation. Please contact us at the time of booking should you
require details regarding the number of people on your tour.
We will advise you at least 61 days before departure if minimum
numbers have not been reached and as a direct result your tour has
to be cancelled.
You will then have the choice of booking an alternative holiday
with us, changing your departure date at the appropriate additional
cost, or having a refund of monies paid. No compensation will be
payable and we are unable to offer refunds of any associated costs
ie visas etc.
4.9 tours
Whilst every effort is made to operate a tour as advertised, on
occasion it may be necessary to make changes to the
accommodation, the routing or order of an itinerary. Unless the
change significantly alters the holiday, compensation will not be
payable for minor alterations to the itinerary or nightly
accommodation.
on holiday
5.1 flight delays
In the event of a flight being delayed, we will arrange for the
following to be provided, whenever practical, and subject to the
airport being able to cater for this:- over 4 hours, an appropriate
meal, and for delays of at least 8 hours extending beyond midnight,
overnight accommodation will be provided wherever possible.
However, this will depend on such factors as the expected length of
delay, local availability of accommodation, immigration rulings etc.
Where long flight delays result in lost holiday time, no refunds are
given by hotels for unused accommodation, as rooms are held for
delayed arrivals, not re-let.
5.2 water/electricity supplies
In many of the less sophisticated destinations we feature, the
water and electricity services struggle to keep up with the increased
demands from tourism. Limited rainfall can put further pressure
on their provision. Hotels do everything possible to maintain full
services. However, occasional power cuts and/or water restrictions
may be experienced.
5.3 accommodation in the tropics
In many hotels, especially beach resorts insects in the rooms
(eg. cockroaches etc) are almost inevitable. It should by no means be
taken as a sign of dirtiness, simply a fact of life in these destinations.

Views from some hotel rooms may be partly obscured by palm trees
and other vegetation that can grow very quickly in tropical climates.
5.4 watersports and other activities
Many hotels offer watersports and other sporting activities, in
some cases these may be free of charge. Please note that in the
interest of your personal safety, the operators of these activities
may require that you demonstrate your competence (for example
a swimming test) prior to commencement and reserve the right to
refuse participation for any reason if they feel this may compromise
your or another guests safety. Please note there may be certain
age restrictions for children/adults to do certain activities so please
ensure you enquire locally.
5.5 behaviour
Most people go on holiday for rest and relaxation, so if in our
reasonable opinion or in the opinion of any airline pilot, hotel manager,
tour leader or other person in authority, your behaviour is causing or
is likely to cause danger, upset or damage to property or is persistently
affecting the enjoyment of others, we reserve the right to terminate
your holiday. Should this happen no refund or compensation would
be paid and we will have no further responsibility for your holiday
arrangements including return travel.
5.6 personal belongings and lost items
For security reasons valuables should be kept to a minimum and
packed in your hand luggage along with your medicines, camera,
film, electrical or battery-operated appliances, as well as basic
essentials such as a change of clothing and toiletries. It can be easy
to lose items but it is your responsibility to look after your property
at all times and you must ensure you are adequately covered by
comprehensive insurance. If you lose any personal items whilst on
holiday, please obtain a written report from a local representative, or
police, to help with any insurance claim upon your return.
5.7 if you have a complaint while you are on
holiday
If you have cause for complaint whilst on holiday, you must bring
it to the attention of our local representative or agent and the
hotel immediately. They will do their best to rectify the situation.
It is unreasonable to take no action whilst on holiday, but then to
write a letter of complaint upon return. If you do not raise concerns
immediately, this may affect our ability to investigate and take
remedial action and it may impact on the way your complaint is
dealt with.
5.8 kuoni duty officer
Kuoni offers 24 hour assistance for emergency situations and to help
resolve any issues while you are on holiday. The number provided on
your itinerary is a pager service and our Duty Officer will return your
call. Many destinations have local representation and they should be
contacted in the first instance should you have a problem.
5.9 conservation
It is becoming ever more important to conserve the worlds natural
resources, its landscapes, flora and fauna. Someone coined the
phrase Take only photographs; leave only footprints and a number
of countries now use this to promote conservation. It would be hard
to improve on this statement.
5.10 our commitment to you for your holiday
arrangements
(a) We promise to make sure that the holiday arrangements we have
agreed to make, perform or provide as applicable as part of our
contract with you are made, performed or provided with reasonable
skill and care. Please note that EU law only applies to flights from
EU airports or flights to EU airports from outside the EU or an EU
airline. This means that, subject to these booking conditions, we will
accept responsibility if, for example, you suffer death or personal
injury or your contracted holiday arrangements are not provided as
promised or prove deficient as a result of the failure of ourselves,
our employees, agents or suppliers to use reasonable skill and care
in making, performing or providing, as applicable, your contracted
holiday arrangements. Please note, it is your responsibility to show
that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to
make a claim against us. In addition, we will only be responsible
for what our employees, agents and suppliers do or do not do if
they were at the time acting within the course of their employment
(for employees) or carrying out work we had asked them to do (for
agents and suppliers).
(b) We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for
example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or
claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the
following: -
- the act(s) and/or omission(s) of the person(s) affected or any
member(s) of their party or
- the act(s) and/or omission(s) of a third party not connected with
the provision of your holiday and which were unforeseeable or
unavoidable or
- force majeure as defined in 4.5
(c) For claims which do not involve personal injury, illness or death,
the most we will have to pay if we are liable to you is twice the price,
the person affected, paid for their holiday (not including insurance
premiums and amendment charges). We will only have to pay this
maximum amount if everything has gone wrong and you have received
no benefit from your holiday. Where enjoyment of only some days has
been affected, we will refund reasonable related expenses and pay a
daily sum of compensation up to 50 per day per person affected.
(d) Subject to (b) above, if you are killed, injured or become ill during
or as a result of, carriage (including the process of getting on and/or
off the transport concerned) by aircraft, ship or train forming part
of the holiday arrangements booked before departure from the UK
and to which any international convention or regulation applies, our
liability to pay compensation and/or the amount of compensation
we will pay is limited.
The most we will have to pay you for that claim or that part of a
claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is the most the carrier
concerned would have to pay under the international convention or
regulation which applies to the travel arrangements in question (for
example, the Warsaw Convention as amended or unamended and the
Montreal Convention for international travel by air and/or for airlines
with an operating licence granted by an EU country, the EC Regulation
on Air Carrier Liability No 889/2002 for national and international
travel by air, the Athens Convention for international travel by sea
and COTIF, the Convention on International Travel by Rail). Where a
carrier would not be obliged to make any payment to you under the
applicable international convention or regulation in respect of a claim
or part of a claim, we similarly are not obliged to make a payment to
you for that claim or part of the claim. When making any payment,
we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are
entitled to receive from the carrier for the claim in question. Copies of
the applicable international conventions and regulations are available
from us on request.
e) Under EU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds
and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding,
cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be
publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines.
However reimbursement in such cases will not automatically entitle
you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. If any payments to
you are due from us, any payment made to you by the airline will
be deducted from this amount. If your airline does not comply with
these rules you should complain to the CAA on 020 7240 6061
www.caa.co.uk
(f) Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services
which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example,
any additional services or facilities which your hotel or any other
supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities
are not advertised by us and we have not agreed to arrange them
as part of our contract and any excursion you purchase in resort.
In addition, regardless of any wording used by us on our website,
in any advertising material or elsewhere, we only promise to use
reasonable skill and care as set out above and we do not have any
greater or different liability to you.
(g) The promises we make to you about the services we have
agreed to provide or arrange as part of our contract and the laws
and regulations of the country in which your claim or complaint
occurred will be used as the basis for deciding whether the
services in question had been properly provided. If the particular
services which gave rise to the claim or complaint complied with
local laws and regulations applicable to those services at the time,
the services will be treated as having been properly provided. This
will be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws
and regulations of the UK which would have applied had those
services been provided in the UK. The exception to this is where
the claim or complaint concerns the absence of a safety feature
which might lead a reasonable holiday maker to refuse to take the
arrangements in question. Please note, however, our obligation is to
exercise reasonable skill and care as referred to (a). We do not make
any representation or commitment that all services will comply with
applicable local laws and regulations and failure to comply does not
automatically mean we have not exercised reasonable skill and care.
(h) Our suppliers (such as airlines, accommodation or transport
providers) have their own booking conditions or conditions of
carriage, and these conditions are binding between you and the
supplier. Some of these conditions may limit or remove the relevant
transport providers or other suppliers liability to you. You can get
copies of such conditions from our offices, or the offices of the
relevant supplier.
(i) If we make any payment to you or any member of your party for
death, personal injury or illness, you must give us or our insurers
the rights you may have to take action against the person or
organisation responsible for causing the death, personal injury or
illness and you must co-operate fully with us in seeking recovery of
any payment
we make.
(j) Operational decisions may be taken by air carriers and airports
resulting in delays, diversions or rescheduling. Kuoni has no control
over such decisions, and is therefore unable to accept responsibility
for them. Where, as a result of force majeure we are obliged to
change or end your holiday after departure, but before the end of
your holiday, we will not pay compensation or reimburse you for
expenses incurred. You should have adequate travel insurance for
your holiday and claim via your insurance company for any loss or
damage to luggage and/or personal possessions.
In the event that any claim is made directly with us, our liability to
pay compensation and/or the amount of compensation will
be limited in accordance with the conventions referred to in (d)
where applicable.
(k) Locally Booked Excursions/Activities Whilst you are away on
holiday you may be offered the opportunity to buy optional excursions
and activities. These are provided by independent local companies,
which are neither owned nor controlled by Kuoni, and for whom Kuoni
acts only as an agent (if we make a booking for you). If you decide to
buy an excursion or activity, your contract will be made with the local
company which provides it and it will not from part of your contracted
holiday arrangements with us. The contract will be subject to the
excursion/activity providers terms and conditions, some of which may
exclude or limit its liability to you, and will be governed by local law
and jurisdiction. Kuoni accepts no liability for any breach of contract or
act or omission of any excursion/activity provider. Some excursions/
activities may contain an element of risk or require a good level of
physical fitness, and, if in doubt, you should make direct enquiries
with the local provider, before deciding to buy and check that you are
covered by your travel insurance policy.
5.11 representative services
Please note we do not have representative services available in all
the destinations we feature and therefore you will not necessarily be
met on arrival. Please ensure you refer to your itinerary which will
provide the appropriate contact details should you need assistance
whilst on holiday.
5.12 curtailment
If you cut short your holiday and return home early in circumstances
where you have no reasonable cause for complaint about the
standard of accommodation and services provided, we will not offer
you any refund for the remainder of your holiday not completed, or
assist with any associated costs you may incur. Depending on the
circumstances, your travel insurance may offer cover for curtailment
and we suggest that any claim is made directly with them.
on return from your holiday
6.1 questionnaire
Your feedback is really important to us. At the end of your holiday,
you will be given a questionnaire to fill in. We would like to know if
you have had a great time or if you think the hotel or service has not
been up to scratch. If you forget to fill in the paper version, you can
always complete the questionnaire online when you get home. As
a gesture of thanks you will be entered into our prize draw to win a
luxurious 7 night holiday for two please visit: www.kuoni.co.uk/
survey.
6.2 if you had a problem
If a problem remains unresolved during your holiday, you should
make a complaint in writing to Kuoni within 28 days of the
completion of the holiday. Please remember to quote your holiday
booking number and daytime telephone number. We will reply to
you within 28 days of receipt of your letter, as laid down by the
ABTA Tour Operators Code of Conduct.
6.3 dealing with complaints
We are a member of ABTA, membership number V258X. We are
obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTAs
Code of Conduct. We certainly hope that we can settle any holiday
complaints amicably, however, should this prove not to be the case
you may refer any dispute relating to this contract to arbitration
under a special scheme arranged by ABTA. The scheme provides
for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents
alone with restricted liability for you in respect of costs. The
scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than
5,000 per person or 25,000 per booking form. Neither does
it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury
or illness or their consequences, although claims which include
an element of minor injury or illness can be considered subject
to a limit of 1,000 on the amount the arbitrator can award per
person, in respect of this element. The application for arbitration
and Statement of Claim must be received by ABTA within 1 year
of the date of return from the holiday. Outside this time limit
arbitration under the scheme may still be available if we agree, but
the ABTA Code does not require such agreement. For injury and
illness claims, you may like to use the ABTA mediation procedure.
This is a voluntary scheme and requires us to agree for mediation
to go ahead. The aim is to help you resolve your dispute in a quick
and cost effective way. Details of the arbitration and mediation
schemes are available from us on request or from www.abta.
com. We both agree that English Law (and no other) will apply
to your contract and to any dispute, claim or other matter of any
description which arises between us (claim) (except as set out
below). We both also agree that any claim (and whether or not
involving any personal injury) must be dealt with under the ABTA
arbitration scheme (if the scheme is available for the claim in
question and you wish to use it see above) or by the Courts of
England and Wales only unless, in the case of Court proceedings,
you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland. In this case, proceedings
must either be brought in the Courts of your home country or
those of England and Wales. If proceedings are brought in Scotland
or Northern Ireland, you may choose to have your contract
and claim governed by the law of Scotland/Northern Ireland as
applicable (but if you do not so choose, English law will apply).
6.4 law and jurisdiction
We both agree that English Law (and no other) will apply to your
contract and to any dispute, claim or other matter of any description
which arises between us (claim) (except as set out below).
We both also agree that any claim (and whether or not involving any
personal injury) must be dealt with under the ABTA arbitration scheme
(if the scheme is available for the claim in question and you wish to
use it see above) or by the Courts of England and Wales only unless,
in the case of Court proceedings, you live in Scotland or Northern
Ireland. In this case, proceedings must either be brought in the Courts

data protection policy
For the purposes of the Data Protection Act 1998, we are a data
controller. In order to process your booking, send you a brochure
or respond to an enquiry, we need to collect personal data from
you. Depending on whats required, the personal data we collect
may include names and contact details, credit/ debit card or other
payment information and special requirements such as those relating
to any disability or medical condition which may affect holiday
arrangements and any dietary restrictions which may disclose your
religious beliefs (sensitive personal data). All references in this
privacy policy to personal data include sensitive personal data unless
otherwise stated. The person who makes the booking is responsible
for ensuring that other members of your party are aware of our
booking conditions and this privacy policy and that they consent to
your acting on their behalf in your dealings with us.
Appropriate personal data will be passed on to the relevant suppliers
of your arrangements and any other third party (including banks and/
or credit card issuers) who need to know it so that your holiday can be
provided. The information may also be provided to government / public
authorities such as customs, immigration and the security services
if required by them, or as required by law. Certain information may
also be passed on to security or credit checking companies. We may
disclose personal data to companies in the Kuoni Group for business
purposes and to companies who act as data processors on our behalf.
On occasions, we may use other companies to provide services on our
behalf, such as mailing brochures and marketing material. We only
provide third parties with the personal data they require in order to
deliver their services. Other than in relation to government / public
authorities (over whom we have no control), we will take appropriate
steps which are intended to ensure that anyone to whom we pass your
personal data for any reason agrees to keep it secure and only uses it
for the purposes of providing their services. If we cannot pass personal
data to the relevant suppliers or any other third party as applicable,
whether in the EEA or not, we will be unable to fulfil your booking. In
making your booking, you consent to personal data being passed on
to the relevant suppliers and other third parties. We take appropriate
technical and organisational measures which are intended to prevent
unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and accidental
loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data.
Your personal data may be stored, used and otherwise processed
within the UK and/or any other country(ies) of the European
Economic Area (EEA). EEA countries are all member states of the
European Union together with Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
We may also store, use or otherwise process personal data outside
the EEA. Data protection laws may not be as strong outside the
EEA as they are in the EEA. Personal data will not be transferred
to a country outside the EEA unless (1) the country to which it is
transferred is one which the European Commission considers to
provide an adequate level of data protection or (2) the personal data
is transferred to a United States company which has signed up to
the Safe Harbour scheme or (3) the personal data is transferred to
a company which is required by our contract with them only to deal
with the data in accordance with our instructions and to maintain
appropriate security to protect the personal data which we are
satisfied they have or (4) we are obliged to provide the personal data
to a government / public authority in order to provide your holiday.
By making a booking with us, you agree to allow your insurers, their
agents and medical staff to disclose relevant information to us in
circumstances where we may need to act in your interests or in the
interests of everyone in any group with whom you are travelling. For
example, if you contract an infectious illness whilst on holiday, we
may need to make special arrangements for you and ensure that you
do not return with the group immediately.
We would also like to store and use your personal data for future
marketing purposes (for example, sending you a brochure, special
offers or other marketing material) unless you have told us that you
do not wish us to do so. All personal data you give us (including
sensitive personal data) will be kept but we will use only names and
contact details for marketing purposes. If you do not wish to receive
future marketing material, please notify us by writing to the address
below or by e-mail to [insert appropriate e-mail address].
You are generally entitled to ask us what details of yours are being
held or processed, for what purpose and to whom they may be or have
been disclosed. We will charge a fee to respond to such a request. We
promise to respond to your request within 40 days of receiving your
written request and fee. In certain limited circumstances we are entitled
to refuse your request. If you believe that any of your personal data
which we are processing is incorrect, please contact us immediately.
visas & general information
weather/tidal conditions
Information is supplied by the Meteorological Office, local tourist
offices and other sources and is given as a guide only. Our Sales team
is happy to advise on weather trends as many of the destinations
featured in this brochure have a tropical climate where heavy rainfall
and strong winds (sometimes hurricane force) do occur at certain times
of the year, however world weather patterns are now becoming more
and more erratic resulting in unusual rainfall, storms and even floods.
During monsoon season, you are likely to get more rain than sunshine.
Most people go on holiday to spend time in the sunshine and although
adverse weather conditions can be very frustrating Kuoni cannot
assume any responsibility for the statistical information provided
opposite, nor accept liability to make refunds or pay compensation for
alternative arrangements, damage to property or curtailed holidays as a
result of such conditions.
Some destinations featured in this brochure are subject to tides at
specific times of the year which can affect swimming. Depending on
the island you have chosen, there may be restrictions on areas where
it is safe to swim due to strong currents or sea defences which protect
the island beaches. We strongly recommend you listen to local advice
to ensure your own safety. Please refer to meteorological websites for
the latest and most up-to-date information on tides for the destination
you intend to travel to.
health, safety & security abroad
We take the safety and security of our clients extremely seriously.
If the Foreign Office advises that people should not visit a particular
country, then we would act on this and reserve the right to cancel
your holiday. However we are sure you appreciate from press
and television coverage that the political, economic and social
conditions in many of the countries we feature in this brochure
are not as stable as we are used to in Europe. Sadly crimes against
both people and their property are a fact of life the world over, and
when in a foreign country it is very important to be extra vigilant
and avoid drawing attention to yourself by wearing expensive
jewellery, carrying expensive camera equipment etc. Travellers have
the same responsibility for their personal safety and that of their
possessions, as they do at home. Kuoni holidays operate to many
parts of the world, some of which do not conform to British health
and safety standards. We request that all hotels comply with the
local regulations applicable in their country for health and safety but
we cannot guarantee that these meet British standards and therefore
urge that you undertake reasonable precautions to protect your
family and yourself whilst on holiday.
To make the most of your trip abroad, check out the Foreign &
Commonwealth Office website at www.fco.gov.uk/travel.
health & vaccinations
Health facilities, hygiene and disease risk vary worldwide. You
should take health advice about your specific needs as early as
possible and ensure that vaccinations or preventative measures such
as malaria tablets are taken early enough (which may be a month or
more prior to departure) to be fully effective by the date of travel. It
is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of all recommended
and required vaccination and health precautions in good time before
departure. Details are available from your GP surgery and from
the National Travel Health Network and Centre www.nathnac.org
Sources of information include the Department of Health free leaflet
Health advice for travellers (available on request Tel. 0207 210
4850), your specialist travel clinic. The advice given in respect of
vaccinations was correct at the time of going to press ( June 2013).
passports & visas
We can only advise of the requirements for British and Irish citizens
holding a full passport British and Irish passport endorsed in any way
and all other passport holders, requirements should be checked with
the relevant embassy. You should ensure that you have a valid ten year
passport and, as many countries require expiry dates on passports
to be a considerable length of time after the return from holiday, we
would recommend that your passport is valid for 6 months after return
to the UK. All children are required to travel on their own passports.
Requirements may change and you must check the up to date position
in good time before departure. A full British passport presently takes
approximately 2 to 6 weeks to obtain. If you or any member of your
party is 16 or over and havent yet got a passport, you should apply
for one at least 6 weeks before your holiday. The UK Passport Service
has to confirm your identity before issuing your first passport and will
ask you to attend an interview in order to do this.
It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of all
necessary travel and health documents before departure. All costs
incurred in obtaining such documentation must be paid by you. We
regret we cannot accept any liability if you are refused entry onto
any transport or into any country due to failure on your part to carry
all required documentation. If failure to have any necessary travel
or other documents results in fines, surcharges or other financial
penalty or expenses being imposed on or incurred by us, you will be
responsible for reimbursing us accordingly.
usa entry requirements

adhered to. Please note if you or your dependants do not have the

dependant territories citizen, British overseas citizen, British National
Citizen or British Protected Person does not qualify for travel without
a visa or someone who has indefinite leave to remain in the UK. NB:

for all travellers to the US on arrival.

Travel Visa Service can obtain these for you. Full details on how
to obtain a visa, cost and application time will be sent with your
confirmation invoice, these are all subject to change.
Residents outside the UK, non British passport holders and late

the visa in time prior to arrival. This service is only available to

of aircraft, weather conditions etc., and are indications of the hours
