Secondly, we believe that tourism should contribute to local economies and by employing local people we help to generate employment in regions where there are often few opportunities. We always ensure that our activity providers are fully qualified and that they comply with all safety regulations. Would you be confident about your safety if you simply turned up at a local activity provider's door?
Accommodation and food
Rural areas which remain largely untouched by tourism rarely have four or five-star hotels. Consequently, we always try to find the best locally owned accommodation in the holiday destination. You will not stay in standardised or globalised hotels but in characterful accommodation that is in keeping with the region you are visiting. We always ensure that the accommodation featured is clean, comfortable and friendly but please do not expect the facilities you would find at a four or five-star hotel run by a global chain. We take a similar philosophy regarding meals. Our accommodation providers serve cuisine that is in keeping with what the local community would expect. All our providers can usually cater for special diets such as vegetarian, but in some places the provision of such diets may not be as advanced as it is at home.
Do we have to make a local payment?
No, we have never asked for local payments. Unlike many companies who use this as a means to hide the full cost of their holidays, the price in our brochure is the price you will pay.
Flights
The majority of holidays in this brochure do not include flights as we find that many of you prefer to extend your stay. For example, many of our clients who travel to Spain take the opportunity to incorporate a few nights in Barcelona into their holiday. For more information about flights that coincide with our transfers please see page 24.
Transfers
Generally, we provide one transfer per departure. Please always consult our Reservations Department if you are booking your own flights in order to establish that your flights do coincide with our designated arrival or departure times. A supplement may be payable for providing private transfers.
Booking your activity holiday
Booking your activity holiday is easy. Simply give us a call on 01670 785 075 (because we like to talk to you) and we will take you through the short booking procedure. At the time of booking we only require a deposit of £100 per person. Full balances are due on bookings made less than nine weeks before departure. We will post out a booking form and all you have to do is sign and return it in the pre-paid envelope provided, sit back, relax and look forward to your holiday. Easy!!
