Will we need a travel insurance?
We highly recommend all our passengers to get travel insurance (https://globalholidays.us/travel-insurance/).
Travel insurance helps protect against the unexpected.
A primary incentive to get travel insurance can be for the emergency medical assistance.
THEFTS, LOST PROPERTY
It is the passenger’s’ responsibility to keep their property and valuables safe at all times including on coaches, excursions, and hotels. If an item has been left at the hotel/train, then the passenger can call the relevant Hotel/Train and follow up for the same. In the case of theft, passengers should advise their tour manager/concern team immediately and report the theft to the appropriate authorities, so they can be provided with a police report or crime reference number. Passengers are always advised not to carry unnecessary valuables and to be vigilant as tourist spots are well-known target locations for pickpockets. It is strongly recommended by Global Holidays USA that all passengers have valid travel insurance. We will by no means retrieve the item on behalf of any passenger or be responsible for acquiring the item on behalf of any passenger to keep in line with company policy and law. We maintain a strict policy of not carrying anyone’s property across international borders whether it is authorized in writing or by any other means.
COMPLAINTS
If the client or the traveler should wish to invoke a default by the carrier or the travel agent in its compliance with the agreement, the client or the traveler must inform the carrier or the travel agent of this complaint immediately and in writing or in another appropriate manner, so that the carrier or the travel agent can find a suitable solution. 10.2 If the complaint is not rectified to the satisfaction of the client or the traveler during the course of the agreement, the latter may submit a written and fully-argued complaint to the carrier or the travel agent at the latest within one month of the execution of the agreement or, if the carriage or the travel arrangement was cancelled, within a month of the planned date of departure.
