Welcome...
to the Indian
Ocean
We know the world...
At Gold Medal we’ve been supplying
scheduled flights, hotels, car hire, tours and
excursions for over 40 years. We like to
think we have learned something in that
time, and we use this knowledge to
carefully select the best range to offer
you in each of our destinations.
And love to travel…
Our Indian Ocean Destination Experts love
this area of the world for its its diversity. Just
imagine a world of crystal clear water and
bright white, sugary sands. Here you can
hike through a tropical rainforest, enjoy a
lazy drift down a hidden river… or choose
to do absolutely nothing. The over water
accommodation available is incredible,
and the nature on view at every turn is
fascinating; the ocean is teeming with
wildlife, perfect for those that like diving or
snorkelling and the beaches are beautiful.
All you’ve ever dreamed of,
and more…
The islands of the Indian Ocean – the
Maldives, Mauritius, the Seychelles and
Sri Lanka – present stunning beaches, clear,
warm waters and tropical forests; a sheer
paradise escape. Popular destinations for
weddings or honeymoons, the Indian
Ocean offers a truly relaxing holiday.
The Maldives are perfect if you're looking
for that 'idyllic island escape' holiday
where lazy days are spent strollling across
the soft white-sand beaches, dipping your
toes in the warm waters as you go.
Mauritius on the other hand, offers a great
beach break combined with a huge variety
of excursions and activities within the lush
green mountains. Sri Lanka is brimming with
culture, and the best way to get a feel for
the island is to explore with the help of a
private driver - see pages 51-53 for more
details. The islands of the Seychelles are
known for their beaches, coral reefs, diving,
nature reserves and rare wildlife - a winning
combination.
To help you identify the right hotel or
resort, we’ve included a few handy
pointers, look out for;
l Complimentary WiFi
Hotels or resorts offering complimentary WiFi
anywhere on its grounds*, will carry this icon.
*this could be in public areas only, and is subject to availability
l Family friendly
If children are more than just welcome,
in fact there are facilities specifically for
children e.g. kids’ club, children’s pool,
children’s play area and children’s dining
options, you’ll see this icon on the page.
l Adult only
For grown up hotels and resorts, look out
for this icon – it means all guests will be
aged 16 or over.
When to travel
Home to a variety of stunning
destinations, each of which enjoys
some of the world's finest weather.
In Mauritius temperatures can exceed
30ºC from November to April.
Weather is varied, with cloudy skies
giving way to bright sunshine in a
matter of minutes, making it a great
year round holiday destination.
For a full climate information, please

Maldives
A drop in the ocean
The Indian Ocean stretches from
the southernmost tip of India, across
the equator and south for
thousands of miles. This paradise of
island nations and picture-postcard
tropical beauty is hailed as heaven
on earth – and it’s waiting for you
to dive straight in!
Mauritius
Cast away to a beautiful, palm-fringed island where
tranquil beaches give way to dramatic, volcanic
landscapes. Imagine yourself relaxing on the island of
Mauritius where you’ll be treated to captivating natural
surroundings and colourful villages, world class hotels and
some of the best watersport facilities in the Indian Ocean.
From the hustle and bustle of the island’s capital Port Louis
to the tranquil Black River Gorges national park, Mauritius
is a destination with something for everyone. History,
culture, white sandy beaches, amazing sports facilities and
year-round tropical climate make it an A-list destination.
A taste of
Mauritius
From traditional FrenchCreole melting pots to
freshly caught seafood,
exotic fruit to tasty
grilled-on-the-beach
barbeques, food on
Mauritius reflects all
elements of the island’s
character – diversity,
richness and colour.
Good to know…
Mauritius was the only place on earth
known to have been home to the Dodo.
The flightless bird – which we now know
was part of the dove and pigeon family –
was first discovered by Dutch sailors
around 1600. Having previously had no
predators, the Dodo had lived a relatively
unscathed existence, but with the arrival of
man came its demise. The Dodo became a
much-hunted species and less than 100
years later, it was extinct. You can learn
more about the Dodo at the Mauritius
Institute in Port Louis where old sketches
and skeletons of the bird are housed.

Black River Gorges
Casela Nature and Leisure Park
For a walk on the wild side when touring
Mauritius, there’s no place better than the
Casela Nature and Leisure Park. Based in
Cascavelle, the park is home to more than 150
species of birds and animals including giant
turtles, lions and monkeys. You can get up close
and personal with the king of the jungle, hike
your way across the lush land or take part in a
quad bike or even a Segway tour.
For a taste of the true Mauritius, a trip
to the Black River Gorges comes
highly recommended. Between the
months of September and January, this
area of lush vegetation and breathtaking vistas is in full bloom, making it
a remarkable place to see. As for
nature lovers, don’t forget to pack your
binoculars to spot the rare and
colourful birds which inhabit Mauritius’
only national park.

l Tasty cocktails
The beautiful Maldives scattered across
the Indian Ocean open up a world of
opportunity for travellers who want to
embark upon a personal adventure full
of stunning beaches, mouth-watering
food and first-class service.
The Maldives are a range of coral
reefs which developed around the
sides of ancient volcanoes and
remained on the ocean surface once
the rock formations had sunk. What’s
left is a remarkable selection of islands
offering white sands, clear bright blue
seas and endless sunshine.
Indian Ocean
Food for thought
Dive into the Maldives
Snorkelling & diving
The Maldives are recognised as one of the
best destinations in the world for
snorkelling and diving. With thousands of
different types of colourful fish darting in
and out of the protected coral reefs, you’ll
never be short of something new to spot.
Ship wrecks and reef walls give the more
experienced diver something truly special
to explore.
Sri Lanka
Just off the east coast of India lies the island of Sri Lanka, tear
shaped, with beautiful beaches, lush rainforests, exotic wildlife and
stunning mountain views.
Holding the record for the most UNESCO World Heritage Sites in
a small area, Sri Lanka boasts eight of the accolades. The island
has been inhabited for more than 2,000 years, yet only now is it
becoming a ‘go to’ destination. Temples, ancient artefacts, fine
colonial buildings, plantation communities, rural idylls and rainforest
residences can all be found on Sri Lanka, where natives live side by
side with elephants, water buffalo, monkeys, leopards and birds.
Colonial Colombo
The island’s largest city is a wonderful place to
begin a trip to Sri Lanka and offers a hint of the
past whilst looking keenly to the future.
Capture the essence of Sri Lanka in Colombo, as
you drink in the clashing colours and cultures of
this stunning island. Here you can shop, eat fine
food and take in the history and culture for a day
or so. It’s an ideal place from which to plan the
rest of your stay and to absorb your surroundings.
Pinnawela Elephant
Orphanage
Sri Lankan people revere the elephant and
the beautiful creatures are regarded as
having almost sacred status. Pinnawela
Elephant Orphanage was launched in
1975 and today is one of the world’s most
well-respected facilities of its kind, known
for its responsible breeding programme
and success in caring for the island’s
orphaned or injured elephants. Visitors can
watch the magnificent creatures bathing,
as the herd takes time to play and
socialise.
Who knew?
Sigiriya
Rising from nowhere and standing
majestically above the tree canopy of
central Sri Lanka. Sigiriya is a 200m high
flat-topped rock formation which is
impressive, daunting and respected by local
people and visitors alike. People flock to
pay homage to the rock which is renowned
for its ancient paintings and for being a
monastery from around the 5th century BC.
l Sri Lanka is often known as the Pearl of
the Indian Ocean
l Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon before
1972
l Sri Lanka is the world’s largest tea
exporter
l Sri Lanka was the first country in the
world to have a female democratically
elected head of state
l The spice cinnamon originated in Sri
Lanka and was discovered by the Egyptians
l The country’s currency is the Sri Lankan
Rupee
Vallée de Mai
Nature lovers will adore the World Heritage
listed Vallée de Mai, which is just one of a pair
of places where the unusual coco de mer palm
can be seen growing in its natural state.
Seychelles
The Seychelles simply exude spirit and serenity and the small archipelago in the western
Indian Ocean is deliciously remote, brimming with picture-perfect beaches and is quite
simply a taste of paradise. Whether it’s for a honeymoon or a trip to celebrate children
flying the nest, the Seychelles is the perfect choice.
We recommend the best way to see the Seychelles in all their glory is to take a little time
on each by island hopping. From Mahé with its amazing beaches and perfectly petite
capital, Victoria, to Praslin with the breath-taking Vallée de Mai National Park, the
Seychelles has so much to offer.
l Visit Vallée de Mai National Park for a glimpse of the area in its most natural, lush
and undiscovered state
l Take a trip to Bird Island to meet Esmerelda, the world’s oldest tortoise – he weighs in
at 300kg and is a sprightly 240 years old!
l Catch a schooner to La Digue for a day walking in the hills
Green & clean
Seychelles is serious about protecting its
stunning natural environment and ecotourism is big business these days. What
began as a conscious effort back in the
1970s by native islanders and those who
made it their home to protect the area’s
natural assets, is now a major draw for
visitors seeking a vacation with a
conscience.

Mauritius
Seven Colours of the Earth
This staggering natural
phenomenon that has been
captivating visitors for decades.
An early morning start is the best
way to gain a glimpse of this
impressive vista as at sunrise, the
earth appears to glow from within
the shades of rich reds, purples,
yellows and greens.
Casela Nature and Leisure Park
For a walk on the wild side when
touring Mauritius, there’s no place
better than the Casela Nature and
Leisure Park. Based in Cascavelle,
the park is home to more than
150 species of birds and animals
including giant tortoises, lions and
monkeys. You can get up close
and personal with the king of the
jungle, hike your way across the
lush land, or take part in a quad
bike or even a Segway tour.
Black River Gorges
For a taste of the true Mauritius, a
trip to the Black River Gorges comes
highly recommended. Between the
months of September and January,
this area of lush vegetation and
breath-taking vistas is in full bloom,
making it a remarkable place to see.
The best way to experience it is on
foot; water, snacks, a good pair of
walking shoes and insect repellent
are essential for anyone embarking
on this memorable adventure.
Wild South West Tour
The scenic drive along the west coast via Tamarin Bay and
the saltpans leads into the southwest corner of Mauritius.
The 90m high Chamarel waterfall and the Seven Coloured
Earth are two authentic sites you should not miss. A
memorable lunch will be served at either La Rhumerie or
Le Chamarel.
Black River Peak (828m) is the highest summit of the island
and the gorges of Black River are the last home to most of
the island’s endemic species of flora and fauna. The road
passes through the forests of Plaine Champagne towards
Curepipe.
After Black River Gorges, the tour leads to the sacred lake,
Grand Basin - the most important place of worship for
Mauritian Hindus.
The tour ends at the rim of the volcanic crater Trou aux
Cerfs, the panoramic view extends over nearly the whole
island.
Chamarel waterfall
Dolphin Encounter
The Dolphin Encounter gives you the chance to observe wild
dolphins in their own environment. After a spot of snorkelling, enjoy a
barbeque lunch on Île aux Benitiers before returning to your hotel.

You are likely to be able to spot eagle

fishes such as the barracuda, reef sharks,
magnificent manta rays and if you are lucky
the very rare whale shark! Snorkelling is
also excellent if diving isn’t for you.

Dining is a pleasure in the Maldives and it will be no surprise that
fresh fish caught locally is a highlight of most menus. One of the
best ways to dine is al fresco on a private stretch of white sand
beach or overlooking the water from a private terrace.
Useful information
Seaplane transfers operate during daylight hours. If your flight to
Malé arrives at night or departs very early in the morning, it may
be necessary to stay overnight at the airport island hotel. If your
departure flight is at night, you will be transferred to Malé during
the day. You may wish to book a day room at the airport hotel.
Destination relaxation
The minute you step off your flight your Maldivian adventure
begins, with an exciting journey by boat, seaplane or domestic
flight to your island destination. As you fly high above the ocean
or speed along its surface, you can absorb the sights and smells
of the wonderful Maldives. This thrilling introduction to your trip
to the Maldives means your memories begin where the stresses of
everyday life end.
A number of hotels offer scheduled flight and speedboat transfers,
which is not only good value but also enables you to transfer to
resorts further afield throughout the day and night. Flights land at
a nearby domestic airport island and speedboat transfers will be
provided to resort.
Speedboat transfers operate throughout the whole day.
Luggage restrictions may apply depending on the transfer option
available. Please enquire for details.

Island hopping
A great way to see the Seychelles in all their glory is to take
a little time on each by island hopping. From Mahé with its
amazing beaches and perfectly petite capital, Victoria, to
Praslin with the breath-taking Vallée de Mai National Park.
Local flavours
The local delicacy is octopus and the area is also known for its
tantalisingly fresh fish. Although it may take a little getting used
to, curried fruit bat is another special dish from the Seychelles.
Out and about
l Visit Vallée de Mai
National Park for a
glimpse of the area in its
most natural, lush and
undiscovered state
l Take a trip to Bird Island to
meet Esmerelda, the world’s
oldest tortoise – he weighs in
at around 300kg and is
1240 years old!
l Catch a schooner to
La Digue for a day walking
in the hills
Vallée de Mai
Bird Island
Everybody’s welcome
The Seychelles simply exude
spirit and serenity and the
small archipelago in the
western Indian Ocean is
deliciously remote, brimming
with picture-perfect beaches
and is quite simply a taste
of paradise. Whether it’s
for a honeymoon, a trip to
celebrate children flying the
nest or a family holiday to
remember, the Seychelles is
the perfect choice.
Praslin
Accessible by sea and air from Mahé,
Praslin is the second largest island in
the Seychelles. A visit to the Vallée
de Mai Nature Reserve is a must.
This UNESCO World Heritage site is
home to the legendary Coco De Mer
endemic to the region.
La Digue
Useful information
The Seychelles is blessed with year
round warm tropical temperatures,
however certain months may better
suit your interests. The north-westerly
trade winds blow from October to
March, and the slightly stronger southeasterly winds blow from May to
September.
The conditions for windsurfing and
sailing are usually best between
May and September. Diving is best
in March - May and September November.
Mahé
The largest of the islands of the Seychelles.
The Botanical Gardens are well worth a
visit and are home to a variety of flora and
fauna, as well as giant Aldabra tortoise.
Mahé is also home to the only town in the
Seychelles – Victoria.
Silhouette
The third largest island is accessible
by boat from Bel Ombre jetty, a short
distance from Mahé airport. The island
forms part of a marine national park
and boasts some excellent snorkelling
and diving sites.

Paradise Sun Hotel
Close to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Vallée de Mai National Park and surrounded
by lush tropical gardens, this relaxed resort is a charming getaway set right on a highly
desirable soft white powder beach. French-Creole influences are infused in both the feel of
the low-rise wooden chalets in the gardens and the delicious cuisine on offer in the
sand-floored beachfront restaurant, adding a little romance and individuality to the resort.
There’s plenty for you to do during your stay, though the atmosphere lends itself just as well to
idling on a sun-lounger by the pool or taking a gentle stroll on the beach as it does to trying
anything particularly active. With its delightful setting, Paradise Sun also makes a wonderful
honeymoon retreat.

lightened by soft white linens and splashes

TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION
When you receive your travel documentation, please check it carefully
and notify us or your travel agent immediately if you think any of the
details are inaccurate. We are not liable to you for any problems or
complaints you may have as a result of holiday details having been
noted incorrectly if you do not advise us of these prior to travel.
SECTION 1 – HOLIDAY PRICES
Travel & Stay Options & Prices
Holiday prices are influenced by a variety of factors particularly
depending on the type of travel option you book. It is not possible to
show the supplements and fares for all our different travel arrangements
due the range of options available. We can usually offer you a choice of
travel options and dates/times of travel. You will also find our transport
providers may offer a choice of seat classes or upgrade options – your
travel agent will be able to confirm the current prices.
Scheduled Flights: the prices we show for scheduled flights are based
upon the lowest fare available. The airlines will limit the number of seats
available at these prices by flight and date of travel. If the price shown in
the brochure is not available when you book, we will offer you the next
best seat price. The price includes current taxes (such as air passenger
duty), aircraft insurance, security, fuel and other associated costs known
at the time of booking. Our prices are affected by changes in these costs
(see section 'Extra Charges - before booking').
Airline Services: A number of airlines that we offer no longer include
meals or luggage allowance within the basic price offered. Please ask us
for specific details at the time of booking.
Airline Failure Protection: a charge made by us on all our holidays that
include a flight so that in the event the Airline on which you are due to
travel ceases to trade, we are able to arrange alternative flights (if
available) or issue you with a refund, as appropriate.
Extra Charges - Before Booking
The prices shown are based on current airfares including fuel surcharges.
Airlines reserve the right to change prices prior to ticketing and we must
reserve the right to increase prices due to changes in fuel costs or taxes.
We will advise you of the current price at the time of booking and we will
absorb any increase of less than 2% of your holiday price. If costs rise of
more than 10% you may choose to cancel and receive a full refund. For
further information please refer to the booking conditions.
Departure Airport Taxes: Where applicable, all UK and overseas taxes
have been included in your holiday price. The only overseas taxes we
have not included are those that must be paid in the respective countries
and cannot be collected prior to your UK departure. This will include
tourism enhancement fees or some passenger service taxes.
Accommodation Supplements & Restrictions
Hotel prices are shown per person (based on two people sharing) in a
standard twin or double room for the number of nights as stated in the
accommodation description. The lowest available rates are displayed but
please allow for supplements depending on the dates you stay. Prices
will vary depending on, for example, peak periods, weekend/midweek
stays, local holidays, special events and the room type you select.
Hoteliers may also require a minimum length of stay at certain times of the
year. Please ask your travel agent for prices and any minimum stay
restrictions applying on the day you book. We reserve the right to
change prices. Prices can go up or down.
Local Charges
At some accommodation certain amenities may carry a local charge.
Unless we have stated that a service or facility is ‘free’ in our
accommodation descriptions, you may be asked to pay a charge. Here
are a few examples of what you might expect to pay for locally, but
always check first as there may be others.

with the airline(s) concerned regarding the use of frequent flyer
membership(s) with your booking.

Scheduled Flights
Flights may be booked in conjunction with hotel and ground
arrangements and flight times at the time of booking will be provisional.
Final times will be advised with your travel documents shortly before the
departure date.

Unless otherwise stated, special offers will only apply for certain periods
of stay and at certain hotels. These will be stated in our brochure.
Conditions may apply to these offers and you will be advised at the time
of booking. All offers are subject to availability and can be withdrawn at
any time without notice. The offer validity period generally applies to
completed stays within the date banding, but this may vary according to

invoice this should be guaranteed by the hotel. For other special offers
such as anniversaries and birthdays we will pass this information on to the
relevant hotel, however no guarantees can be given.
Complimentary Room Upgrades

shown in the brochure will be determined by availability when you travel
and your room will be allocated on arrival at the accommodation. If your
room is upgraded, please note that this will not necessarily be to the next
highest category featured in our brochure, as we do not sell all room types
at all hotels. Room upgrades are subject to availability on arrival.
Passports & Visa Checklist

destinations this will be obtained at the airport but for others we will ask
you to provide the information to us or your airline at time of booking or
at least 72 hours before you travel. Please also carefully note any
instructions about Advanced Passenger Information on your confirmation
invoice or tickets.

SECTION 3 - GROUND ARRANGEMENTS
Accommodation
Every effort has been made to describe each hotel and standard room
accommodation we feature as fairly and accurately as possible.
Nevertheless, hoteliers may change facilities/services after publication of
this brochure. We expect hoteliers to inform us of any major changes
without delay and, where possible, we will inform you prior to departure.
Meals as specified are included only where stated; all other
arrangements are on a room only basis. Accommodation is priced per
person based on twin share occupancy unless otherwise stated. Please
ask our reservations staff at the time of booking for exact details. When
we mention room types in our brochure, in most cases you can expect to
receive a room similar to that described below. Please note however that
whilst room categories in different hotels may have the same or similar
names, the criteria for their classification is likely to differ, as these are the
names the hotels use and they do not have standard definitions.
Shared Accommodation
On most escorted and independent tours featured, a single room costs
more. However, on selected tours we can sometimes offer shared
accommodation in a twin room with another single person, giving you the
benefit of not having to pay a single supplement. This is subject to
someone suitable being willing to share. Otherwise, a normal supplement
will be charged on your confirmation invoice. If you are willing to share,
please indicate this when booking.
Single Supplements
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 and
they do not reduce the rates if they are 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. The
prices we charge reflect the costs of under occupancy of the rooms
contracted to us by the hotel, we do not mark up these supplements.
Room Types Information
In all types of accommodation described below, If there are less than the
maximum number of persons in your own party, the room type may
contain less than the maximum number of beds indicated.
Hotel Rooms
A ‘double’ is a room with a double bed. A ‘twin’ is a room with two
single beds. A ‘single’ or ‘twin for sole use’ is a room with one or two
single beds. A double bed may be two single beds with double
bedding. Single rooms are often smaller, may not have a balcony and
may not be of the same general standard as normal twin rooms. Some
hotels have rooms, which sleep up to 4 persons. Room layout may consist
of up to 4 separate beds or a combination of double, twin, camp beds,
sofa beds or rollaway beds. In some hotels 3rd and 4th beds may be
only suitable for a child, but in other hotels there may be a reduction
available if 4 adults share the room. Rooms for up to 4 persons may not
be any larger than standard twin or double rooms so space is likely to
limited and the room may be cramped. Where rooms do accept extra
beds, some hotels may require an additional local charge to be paid
which can vary by destination, e.g. rollaway bed in USA – please ask for
details when you book. Though we will do our best to help, please note
that we cannot guarantee the room configuration or type of beds that
you will be provided with. Please note, for accommodation in some parts
of the USA, especially Las Vegas, there must be at least one person
aged 21 years old or above travelling on the booking and present when
checking in. Please check requirements before booking.
Suites/Junior Suites/Villas
A Suite and Junior Suite usually contain a lounge/living area. A Suite is
likely to contain a separate sleeping area whereas a Junior Suite the
sleeping area may not be completely separate. Room layouts can vary
by destination. Our descriptions of Suites/Junior Suites and Villas usually
state the number of persons who can occupy the room type (e.g. 2-4
persons). Children paying less than the full cost do not count towards
occupancy of the Suites/Junior Suites or Villas.
Child Reductions: Child reductions are generally available for children
who are under the age of 12 on the date of travel. To obtain this
reduction in cost, children must share a room with two full paying adults
and use existing bed within the room type booked. Where an additional
bed is required, our reservations staff will be pleased to advise you of the
additional cost. Rooms shared by adults and children are requested
through our system and are therefore subject to availability.
Tour Itinerary
All our tours are, by their very nature, complex and include services from
many different airlines, hotels and ground transportation companies. Due to
the demand for these services, it is not always possible to guarantee
particular airlines, flights, aircraft, ferries, trains and/or the hotels featured on
a particular itinerary or departure date. It is with this in mind that we reserve
the right to change any of the listed services and, if necessary, even modify
the itinerary itself without prior notice. Where any alteration significantly
changes your tour itinerary or tour dates, we will always make every effort
to give as much advance notification as possible. Changes to tours may
also be necessary once the tour has commenced, changes may include
the sequence of visits being altered according to local conditions.
Meal Service
Meals as specified are included only where stated; all other
arrangements are on a room only basis. Many properties are not
necessarily used to catering for special diets and therefore if you have
particular or specific requirements, you may find that the choice is limited.
As a matter of courtesy to fellow guests, property owners may require
diners adhere to a dress code whilst dining in their restaurants.
Hotel Check-In
Your room will normally be available for check-in from 2pm onwards. If
you intend to arrive late due to a pre-arranged flight schedule or transfers,
your hotel will need to be advised of your late check-in. On the day of
departure you will be asked to check out before 12 noon. Should you
wish to request a late check out as you have a late afternoon or evening
departure, the hotel may decide to apply additional charges. If you wish
to pre-book and guarantee an additional half-day’s occupancy, please
ask our reservations staff for details and prices. Customers may be
required to leave a credit card deposit at hotel check in. If a credit card is
not available then sometimes a cash deposit may be needed instead.
Air Conditioning
Some properties have individual air-conditioners located in either the
bedroom or the living area, allowing you to adjust the atmosphere to
your own liking. In some descriptions we have indicated that there is
centrally controlled air conditioning. This means it is operated at the
discretion of the management, both in bedrooms and public areas. In
such cases air conditioning may be restricted to particular times of the
day and to the hottest months of the summer. It may be that only cool air
is provided, not necessarily warm air as well. There may be a local
charge for air conditioning in some rooms.
Accommodation Maintenance
Certain accommodation featured in this brochure is operational all year
round. From time to time it will be necessary for certain facilities to be
withdrawn for general maintenance purposes. Water and electricity
supplies may be interrupted whilst this essential maintenance is undertaken.
Other Guests
We do not have exclusive use of all properties featured in this brochure. It
is possible therefore, that there may be guests from other countries and of
mixed age groups at your accommodation. Many hotels we feature do
operate corporate conference facilities and there may be occasions
where business meetings are taking place during your stay.
Hotel-Run Children’s Clubs
Standards and facilities at kids’ clubs featured in this brochure may vary.
We are unable to accept responsibility for or give any guarantee for the
standard of the facilities and qualifications of personnel at hotel run clubs.
Kids’ club(s) may not meet standards of similar facilities in the UK and
guests are strongly advised to remember that local standards and
requirements in respect of such clubs may differ overseas and so you must
ensure that you are completely satisfied with the facilities and staff
providing this service before you enrol your child or children into the club
and into the clubs' care.
Gala Dinners
Many hotels require the compulsory purchase of gala dinners over the
Christmas and New Year period. Please enquire when booking as to
whether this requirement is applicable to your hotel.
Building Works
Building works and noise are sometimes unavoidable in certain
developing areas, resorts and cities. Unfortunately, such development is
not directly under our control, nor do we necessarily receive advance
notice of when they begin. Should we be aware of any building works
that may be considered to be a seriously detriment to your enjoyment, we
will notify you as soon as possible. If necessary, we will offer you the
opportunity to transfer to an alternative hotel. Some public facilities at
hotels, such as restaurants, bars and swimming pools, may only be
available during mid-week or high season. We will, wherever possible,
inform you if this is the case at the time of booking. In some destinations
work is carried out by local/national authorities of which we have no
control and cannot be held responsible.
All Inclusive
To help you choose your all inclusive holiday we have highlighted what
activities and facilities are usually included with each accommodation.
This is based on information we have received from the hotel
management, often dictated by the properties current seasons all
inclusive package. Please allow for some facilities or activities to be
altered or substituted when you travel though, as hotels do regularly
review and update what they offer as all inclusive.
Identification - When you arrive at your hotel you are likely to be
provided with some form of identification (a card, necklace, bracelet etc),
which will have to be shown when ordering drinks, meals and other
included facilities. Ensure you take care of this as a penalty charge is
likely to be imposed if lost.
Behaviour - Both ourselves and each of the all inclusive hotels reserve the
right to withdraw the identification facility of any guest(s) whose behaviour,
or whose child/children’s behaviour is such that it is, in the opinion of the
management, detrimental to the enjoyment of the other guests.
Alcohol - Having drinks freely available throughout the day can be a
temptation to over-indulge. Please therefore consider your fellow guests
(and your own health) while bearing in mind that hotel management
have every right to refuse service to guests they believe to be intoxicated
or under age (in accordance with local law).
Bottled Mineral Water - In some all Iiclusive hotels bottled mineral water
does not form part of the ‘unlimited soft drinks service’.
Locally Sourced Drinks/Snacks - Drinks included are generally only
locally produced brands; cocktails, international and premium brands
and fruit juices are not available unless stated. The type and variety of
snacks served (between meal times) will vary between hotels and resorts,
and may be of a more traditional / local variety.
What’s Not Included - Any additional facilities or services available may
incur a charge. Consequently, not all bars/restaurants are available free
of charge.
Coming Home - Most hotels remove access to all inclusive facilities,
including food and drink at the time of checkout, which is generally
12 noon on the day of departure.
Safety & Hygiene
Your health and safety is of paramount concern to us, especially if
children are involved. In addition to monitoring the hygiene and safety
standards in all the hotel and apartments that we use, it is appropriate
that we bring to your attention the need for you to be careful and to take
Swimming Pools & Water Features
Please make use of the pool shower facilities before swimming – this
helps to prevent any potential infections and helps to keep the pool
clean. Every pool is different and most hotels / apartments do not
employ lifeguards, so you are strongly recommended to familiarise
yourself with the pool layout, identifying the deep and shallow ends
before using. Do not use the pool after dark or when the pool is closed,
even if the pool has underwater lights. You should never swim when you
have been drinking alcohol. Whilst some of our hotels and apartments
have water features, such as slides or flumes, which may appear in our
photography, generally we do not recommend these are used. It is
possible such features may have been replaced or removed since the
photography was taken.
Overseas Safety Standards
Regrettably the safety standards and regulations overseas may not be of
the same level that we enjoy in the UK. For instance, the design and
height of balconies may differ. The setting and enforcement of local
regulations is a matter for the Authorities of the country and the foreign
supplier of the services concerned. We are working with hoteliers to
improve standards wherever possible. You should familiarise yourself with
fire procedures, including emergency exits in your accommodation, the
swimming pool(s) area and any unfamiliar cooking appliances. If in
doubt, ask your representative or an appropriate member of staff.
Children
Children must be supervised by you at all times, especially near water, on
balconies or in unfamiliar buildings and surroundings.
Stomach Upsets
It is still a relatively common occurrence to suffer gastric illness when
travelling abroad and being exposed to a different environment. There
are many ways you can reduce the possibility of being affected, such as,
not eating undercooked food, avoiding ice in drinks, ensuring you drink
plenty of bottled water and avoid over exposure to the sun.
Out & About
Due to rough terrain and uneven surfaces, we recommend that you are
extra careful and vigilant when visiting temples and other sites of interest
and when crossing roads. Crimes against people and property are a fact
of life throughout the world and you have the same responsibility for your
own safety as you do at home. In some places the local police may not be
very cooperative or interested when you report a theft or need insurance
confirmation so always take care of your property. It is recommended not to
approach cats and dogs and other animals as these may carry the rabies
disease which can be passed on through bites and scratches. Please
exercise caution before entering the sea, as the seabed is not even and
changes in depth. The sea is capable of springing surprises and we have
not inspected the beach or seabed for its safety.
SECTION 4 – YOUR JOURNEY
Luggage Allowance
Please ensure that luggage taken with you is in good condition. We will
advise you of the luggage allowance applicable to your flight at the time
of booking, this will be confirmed on your e-ticket. Hand Luggage can
normally be carried, however please check with your carrier prior to
travel. For further information regarding your allowances you can contact
the airline with which you are travelling. Due to increase security at
airports please ensure you are familiar with what is allowed in your
luggage please check www.caa.co.uk.

A direct flight may touch down en-route for re-fuelling, or to pick up
and/or drop off passengers. In these instances you are not normally
required to disembark and the flight is still considered to be a direct flight with the exception of the USA where you will disembark and clear
customs at your first point of entry. A non-direct flight may require a
change of aircraft en-route while a non-stop flight will take you directly to
your final destination airport without stopping.
Non-Smoking Policies
Airlines: All of the airlines featured in this brochure do not permit smoking
on their aircraft.
Airports: Some airports also have non-smoking policies; however some
do provide designated smoking areas.
Hotels: Many of the hotels featured have non-smoking rooms. If you
require a non-smoking room, please make your request at the time of
booking. These requests cannot be guaranteed.
SECTION 5 – DRIVING
Car Hire Info
Driving standards in some countries may not be as high as you
experience in the UK and rental policies can differ. If you do hire a car
during your holiday we recommend that you select reputable companies,
preferably those who provide assistance cover in case of breakdown or
emergency. Gold Medal offers car hire services in many countries,
please ask for information.
Unused Services: We do not provide refunds for any unused pre-booked
services. Any changes you may need to make to your arrangements
during your holiday may incur additional charges. If car hire is booked
subsequently to booking your package holiday this will not form part of
your package and therefore will not be covered under the package rules
and regulations.
SECTION 6 – MEDICAL AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
Health Precautions
Health facilities, hygiene and disease risks vary worldwide. You should
take health advice about your specific needs as early as possible.
Sources of information include the following websites: www.fco.gov.uk,
www.hpa.org.uk and www.nathnac.org or your General Practitioner or a
specialist clinic. If you are visiting a European Union (EU) country you
should obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and take it with
you when you travel. The EHIC can be obtained free of charge by
completing an application form available from main Post Offices and
from www.dh.gov.uk/travellers. Please note, the EHIC is in addition to
Travel Insurance, not instead of it.
Travellers with Reduced Mobility
Overseas Accommodation and Overseas Transport Arrangements - The
majority of overseas accommodation, overseas transport (including
transfers) and other holiday services provided overseas are not equipped
to cater for the needs of persons with reduced mobility. Furthermore the
natural terrain and the layout of some resorts can sometimes make life
difficult for wheelchair users. It is therefore important, if you have any
disability, that the appropriate enquiries are made about the suitability of
particular accommodation, resorts, transport and services, and that you
are fully satisfied you have made the correct choice before you book and
confirm your holiday. Please contact our Reduced Mobility team on
0800 916 0658 who will be happy to assist. We cannot be held
responsible if you fail to tell us about special needs/requirements that will
affect your holiday experience and this means we will not compensate
you.
At the Airport & Onboard Your Flight - If you have a disability, reduced
mobility or special need that you require assistance with, either at the
airport or onboard the aircraft please let us know as soon as possible.
We would like to know if you have a pre-existing medical condition or
recent injury, so that we can answer any questions and ensure there are
no concerns about your fitness to fly.
Travelling when Pregnant - Most airlines enforce strict regulations for
expectant mothers. Airlines generally allow expectant mothers to travel
anytime up to 24 to 36 weeks into their pregnancy with a covering note
from their GP. We strongly advise you to consult your local GP and
airline concerned if you plan to travel whilst pregnant.
To contact the Reduced Mobility Team please call 0800 916 0658.
(This is a dedicated number for special assistance enquiries and cannot
transfer calls to other departments.)
SECTION 7 – TRAVEL TIPS
Maps/Climate Charts
Maps are to be used as a guide only and are not to scale. Climate
information is based on averages.
Money
We recommend the purchase of a Cash Passport for the bulk of your
holiday money, with a small amount of local currency for initial sundry
items. Major credit cards are also widely accepted in all the destinations
in this brochure. In some cases local currencies may have to be
purchased after arrival or there may be restrictions on the amount you are
permitted to buy in advance. We suggest you contact your Travel Agent
for details.
Essential information Indian Ocean
necessary precautions whilst overseas and we need your help and
cooperation with this. We would ask you to pay close attention to the
following information, together with any other information we, our agents
or suppliers, provide to you before you go, during your flight and when
you arrive in your destination and at your hotel. It is most important that
you familiarise yourself with this information and any other information you
are given or on display.
Power & Water Supplies
In most destinations you will find the supplies of water and power to be
extremely reliable; however, in some countries this is not the case and
these places may frequently suffer from power cuts and restrictions on the
water used.
Public Holidays
In Muslim countries, dates of religious festivals are fixed by local sightings
of the moon. Ramadan, is a period of fasting and there may be
restrictions on drinking alcohol and eating in public. Ramadan is
estimated to fall between 06 June and 05 July 2016 and during this
period some shops and restaurants may close. Chinese New Year is a
major celebration throughout Asia so flights and hotels may be extremely
busy during this time. Most ethnic Chinese businesses, including shops
and restaurants (but not hotels), may be closed. In 2016, Chinese New
Year will be on 08 February. If you would like to know more about
international public holidays and impact of events, please contact the
appropriate tourist board or speak to your travel agent.

Indian Ocean Booking conditions
Please read the following booking conditions carefully as they set out the
terms and conditions of the contract between you and Gold Medal
Travel Group PLC (“we”, “us” and “our”). Your contract will be governed
by English law and any disputes will be dealt with in the courts of
England and Wales. Our obligations to you will depend on whether or
not you buy a package holiday. A package holiday (“Package”) as
defined by the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours
Regulations 1992. Section A. Package Holiday consists of transport and
accommodation booked at the same time at an inclusive price. Section
B Other Travel arrangements such as flights, or accommodation booked
separately are sold by Gold Medal as an Agent for the supplier and you
will have a direct contract with them. Section C indicates applicable to all
bookings.
A. PACKAGE HOLIDAY
The information in our brochure and on our website, along with the terms
set out below and the terms set out in section C, apply when you book
a Package.
A1. Your Contract/Financial Protection
All Sales that incorporate flights include the amount of £2.50 per person as
part of the ATOL Protection Contribution we pay on your behalf. The air
holidays and flights in the brochure are ATOL Protected, since we hold an
Air Travel Organisers Licence granted by the CAA (ATOL 2916). In the
unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not
stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to
us. For further information visit the ATOL website www.atol.org.uk. We are
also members of ABTA (V6805) and comply with their Code of Conduct
and provide financial protection for package holidays where appropriate.
Where you book with us via an agent, payments you make to that agent
will be held by the agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of
the Air Travel Trust at all times, but subject to the agent's obligation to pass
on such payments to us for so long as we do not fail. In the unlikely event of
our failure, any of your payments held at that time by the agent or any
payment subsequently accepted from you by the agent, is and continues to
be held by the agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the
Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us. 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.
A2. Price Changes
Changes in transportation costs, including the cost of fuel, dues, taxes or
fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes or embarkation or
disembarkation fees at ports and airports mean that the price of your
Package may change after you have booked. However there will be no
change within 30 days of your departure. We will absorb and you will not
be charged for any increase equivalent to 2% of the price of your Package,
which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges. You will
be charged for the amount over and above that, plus an administration
charge of £1.00 per person together with an amount to cover agents’
commission. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than
10% of the price of your Package, you will have the option of accepting a
change to another Package if we are able to offer one (if this is of
equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower
quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancelling and
receiving a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment
charges. You must cancel within 14 days from the issue date printed on
your final invoice. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance
premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your
policy. Should the price of your Package go down due to the changes
mentioned above, by more than 2% of your Package cost, then any refund
due will be paid to you.
A3. Changes Made By Us Before Travel
From time to time we may have to change details of the package you have
booked. If any change will have a significant effect on your package, we
will tell you about it before you travel, if there is time. Changes we will tell
you about include:
• Change of your UK departure airport (although a change between
London airports including Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Luton will not
usually be considered significant).
• Significant change of your destination
• A change of more than 12 hours to the time you leave the UK or your
destination
• If we downgrade your accommodation by one full Tour Operator rating
If you do not want to accept a significant change, which we tell you about
before you depart, we will, if we are able to do so, offer you an alternative
package of equivalent or closely similar standard and price at no extra
cost, or a less expensive package, in which case we will refund the
difference in price. If you do not wish to take the alternative we offer you,
you can choose a different package offered for sale by us and pay, or
receive a refund of, any price difference. Or, if you prefer, you can cancel
your Package and receive a full refund of any money you have paid to us,
except for any amendment charges. We will consider an appropriate
refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to
transfer or reuse your policy. Unless the change is as a result of
circumstances listed in the paragraph below headed ’Circumstances
Beyond our Control’, we will pay you compensation. If you have not
accepted the change but have accepted an alternative holiday, the
compensation we will pay you will be nominal and will be to compensate
you for the inconvenience of having to make alternative arrangements but
otherwise we will have no liability to pay you compensation. If you have
accepted the change, again, the compensation will be nominal unless,
upon your return, you can justify to us that you suffered an actual loss as a
result of the change we made to your holiday. If you have not accepted the
change and have accepted a refund of your holiday cost, the
compensation will be a nominal sum designed to compensate you for your
inconvenience of arranging for the refund and making any alternative
arrangements you subsequently make but otherwise we will have no
liability to pay you compensation.
A4. Minor Changes By Us Before Travel
Any change which we do not consider significant, is a minor change. We
will endeavour to tell you about a minor change before you travel but we
are not obliged to do so and we will not pay compensation.The flights we
offer are operated by a range of scheduled or charter airlines, using wide
or narrow body jet aircraft. It may not be possible at the time of booking to
specify the airline or type of aircraft. Please note that two airlines may share
the same services, therefore a flight may not be operated by the airline
whose designated code is shown on your itinerary and ticket. We are
required to inform you of the identity of the airline operating your flight. Any
changes to the operating airline will be notified to you in all cases at check
in or at the boarding gate. We reserve the right to change airlines or
aircraft types at any time and changes of this type will not constitute a
significant change.
A5. Cancellation By Us
We reserve the right to cancel any package sold but we will not do so
within 10 weeks of departure except on rare occasions for example if there
is insufficient demand for your particular Package, or are forced to do so
because of unusual circumstances we could not have foreseen, where we
could not avoid the results of those circumstances even after taking all
reasonable care. (See 'Circumstances Beyond Our Control' below) No
compensation will be payable in these circumstances, whenever they
happen, and we will only have to offer you the below choices. We can
82
also cancel if you fail to make payment for your booking on time. If we
have to cancel a package for any particular reason, we will tell you as
soon as reasonably possible. In these circumstances, we will, if we are able
to do so, offer you an alternative Package of equivalent or closely similar
standard and price at no extra cost, or a less expensive Package, in which
case we will refund the difference in price. If you do not wish to take the
alternative we offer you, you can choose another offered for sale by us
and pay any price difference. Or, if you prefer, you can receive a full
refund of any money you have paid to us, except for any amendment or
credit card charges. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance
premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your
policy.
A6. Circumstances Beyond Our Control
Except where we say differently elsewhere in these conditions, we will not
pay any compensation, reimburse expenses, or cover losses for any
amount or otherwise accept responsibility if we have to change your
Package after departure, or we, or our suppliers, cannot supply your
Package, as we, or they, had agreed, or you suffer any loss or damage of
any description, as a result of circumstances beyond our control. When we
refer to circumstances beyond our control, we mean any event that we, or
the supplier in question, could not foresee or avoid, even after taking all
reasonable care. Such circumstances will usually include, but are not limited
to, war, terrorist activity, civil unrest, industrial dispute, bad weather (actual
or threatened) and significant building work ongoing outside of your
accommodation, which is not known to us in advance of your departure
date and building work from a third party (such as resort development).
A7. Changes Made After Travel
If, after your departure, a significant part of your pre-booked Package
arrangements cannot be provided, you will be offered a suitable alternative
if possible. If appropriate, we will also pay you compensation in
accordance with the table in the section entitled ‘Changes Made By Us
Before Travel’ unless the reason for the change is due to circumstances
beyond our control (see section entitled ‘Circumstances Beyond Our
Control’). If it is not possible to offer you a suitable alternative or, for good
reasons, you do not accept the alternative arrangements, you will have the
right to cancel your booking. In this event, you will have the right to be
returned by the same means of transport to your original departure point at
no extra cost provided that transport is available. This does not impose an
obligation on us to make specific transport arrangements for you if none
are available.
A8. Flight Delays
Where a flight is cancelled, delayed or overbooked, you may be entitled
to make a claim against the airline concerned under the Denied Boarding
Regulations 2004. Full details will be available at all EU airports and from
your airline. However, you should note that reimbursement of the cost of a
flight that forms part of your holiday is the responsibility of your airline and
will not automatically entitle you to reimbursement of the cost of your
holiday from us.
A9. Our responsibilities towards you
We accept responsibility for ensuring that the package you buy is of a
reasonable standard and as originally described to you, subject to any
amendments you accept prior to departure. If any part of the package is
not as described, we will pay you reasonable compensation as
appropriate for that part of the package unless this is due to circumstances
beyond our control. We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure that the
services provided by ourselves and our suppliers are of a reasonable
standard but we do advise that not all local standards will reach the
standards you might expect in the UK.
If whilst on holiday you suffer an injury, illness or death as a result of a fault
on our part, or on the part of our suppliers or their employees acting in the
course of their employment we may compensation similar to that which you
might receive under English law, in an English Court. However, we will not
do so if your injury, illness or death was your own fault, the fault of someone
unconnected with the package we sold or if it was due to an event which
could not have avoided even with all due care or which could not have
been anticipated.
You must notify us of any potential claim within 3 months of returning home
and agree to assign any rights you have against the supplier at fault to us to
enable us to recover any payments we make to you. Where the incident is
covered by an international convention, such as those relating to
international air and sea travel and hotel or rail transport, our liability will be
limited accordingly. Please ask to see the relevant Conventions that may
apply to your package.
If you suffer an injury illness or death whilst taking part in an activity which
does not form part of your package holiday, we will, at our reasonable
discretion offer advice and assistance to enable you to consider taking
legal action against those responsible. Our maximum liability is £5,000 per
booking form and if you have legal expenses insurance, we would expect
you to make a claim against that policy and in all cases, if you recover
compensation, to replay any costs which we incur on your behalf.
A10. Airline Collapse
In the unlikely event that the airline with which you are travelling ceases to
trade whilst you are abroad, you must contact us at the earliest opportunity
to allow us to seek to find you an alternative return flight. We shall not be
liable for any costs you incur in making your own return flight arrangements
if you have not given us the opportunity to arrange an alternative flight
home for you.
B. SINGLE COMPONENTS
The terms set out below, together with the terms set ‘Flight’ or only a
‘Hotel’. They apply whether you book one component or more than one
component. Booking more than one component does not create a
Package.
B1. Price Changes
Price increases may occur any time prior to departure, you will be liable to
pay any such increases in full. If, before you book, we know of
circumstances that may cause an increase in the price of your booking after
you have paid, we will endeavour to provide details to you.
B2. Transfer of Bookings
In the case of a scheduled flight only booking, transfer to another person
will involve cancelling the original booking, thereby incurring any relevant
cancellation charges and then making a new booking, which will be
subject to availability and any additional price increase.
Transfer of any other type of booking is subject to the supplier’s own terms
and conditions and the applicable amendment or cancellation charges as
stated in section C.
B3. Changes Made to Your Booking
Where a supplier makes a change to a non-Package booking you do not
have the same legal rights as with a Package booking. If we are aware of
any change which we believe will materially affect your booking we will
tell you as soon as reasonably practicable but you must appreciate that we
will only have an obligation to tell you if we have been told in the first place
by the supplier. In the case of flights, we recommend once you have
departed the UK that you check directly with your airline or view your
scheduled flight details on www.checkmytrip.com for any schedule
changes. When a change occurs it is the responsibility of the supplier to
make alternative arrangements; it is not our responsibility. Where, however,
we believe a change has a significant effect on your booking, we will
endeavour to arrange with the supplier(s) to provide you with suitable
alternative arrangements. If suppliers impose additional costs for any
alternative arrangements you will be obliged to pay those. If the supplier
authorises a refund to be made, we will pass this onto you, less insurance
premiums and Airline Failure Protection where applicable.
B4. Our Liability to You
Our responsibility is to make arrangements for the provision by the relevant
suppliers (including air carrier of air transport, accommodation
owner/supplier, car hire provider) of the components you book, but we do
not have any responsibility for the operation of the component itself. We
have no liability to you for any dissatisfaction, loss of enjoyment, loss, injury
or damage which results from your use of the single component unless we
have negligently failed to select a normally competent provider of the
relevant component. Further, we have no liability to you in any event for any
consequential loss which you may suffer in relation to any arrangements
which you book to coincide with the single component you have booked
with us. Please note, with the exception of flight only or flight-plus bookings
in the unlikely event of our collapse/insolvency, any money you have paid
is not protected by a scheme of financial protection. If this is important to
you, we recommend you book a Package with us or obtain suitable travel
insurance.
C. ALL BOOKINGS
Before you book please visit our website or discuss your choice of
destination, accommodation and transport with our reservations staff or
your travel agent, to make sure it will be suitable for you and the people
you will be travelling with. Some travel and accommodation
arrangements are only available on a request basis - where this is the
case you will be advised at the time you make your enquiry and details
of the arrangements on request will be shown on any documentation we
issue. Any arrangements that we advise you are on request are not
confirmed or guaranteed and are subject to change until we receive
confirmation from our supplier.
C1. Your Holiday Booking
The person who signs the booking form or completes the booking online or
by telephone is the 'lead name'. He or she must be over 18 years of age
and is responsible for payment of the total booking price, including any
insurance premiums and subsequent cancellation or amendment charges
that may be payable. He or she also agrees to provide accurate and full
information to the remainder of the travelling party in relation to the
booking, including any changes thereto and confirms that all the other
members of the party, including any that may be added at a later date,
agree to be bound by these conditions, and all other information in the
relevant brochure and on our websites (as applicable). If you are making
the booking on behalf of a minor, under the age of 18, who is not travelling
with a person 18 or over, we will only allow the minor to travel on the
following terms: The parent/legal guardian must be present when the
booking is made; the booking is subject to the minor satisfying our suppliers
conditions of travel (minimum age restrictions do apply and vary by airline);
The parent/guardian will be required, as deemed appropriate by us, to;
(a) sign a booking form, (b) complete a letter of authorisation/consent for
the minor to travel, (c) provide a photocopy of the photo page in the
parent/guardian and minors passport, (d) pay any applicable
charges/costs applied by the airline. For all bookings as described in
Section A and/or Section B above, a contract will exist between you and
us when we issue a confirmation invoice/receipt/e-mail.
C2. Payment terms
If your booking is made more than 10 weeks before the intended
departure date, you must pay either: - (i) the full fare (depending on the
carrier's conditions for the travel arrangements in question), or (ii) a nonrefundable deposit as required by us and/or the supplier of the services for
the arrangements in question, the amount of which will be advised at the
time of booking. You will be advised at the time of booking what payment is
required for your particular arrangements. The balance of the cost of your
travel arrangements must be paid within 10 weeks before the departure
date. If your booking is made within 10 weeks of your intended departure
date, the total cost of your travel arrangements must be paid at the time of
booking. PLEASE NOTE FAILURE TO PAY ON TIME WILL RESULT IN
CANCELLATION. If you are purchasing a travel insurance policy through us,
the premium for this will also be payable at time of booking.
C3. Special requests
If you have a special request for anything that is not automatically part of the
travel arrangements you book through us, please advise us when you book
and we will pass this information on to the companies we work with.
Making a special request does not guarantee that we, or the relevant
supplier, can meet your request. Where possible they will try to help you, but
we cannot guarantee any request unless it is noted on your invoice/receipt
and we also confirm the request separately in writing. We must emphasise
that verbal confirmations of special requests cannot be taken as a guarantee
that they will be met e.g. special meal types on flights.
C4. Insurance
You must take out adequate travel insurance suitable for your needs before
you travel. We cannot be responsible for any costs you incur as a result of
you failing to do so. For your own peace of mind the insurance should
cover you if you have to cancel your arrangements, or for any emergencies
that arise while you are away. Please check your policy when you receive
it and take it with you on your travels. The insurance is covered by a 14 day
cooling off period which applies if you have not travelled or made any
claim under the insurance policy. After this time the insurance policy is nonrefundable, it is your responsibility to check the specific terms of the
insurance policy at the time of purchase.
C5. Excursions
Excursions include, but are not restricted to, any sightseeing trips, gigs,
events or other tours attended in resort for which additional payment is
required. Excursions can either be booked and/or paid for in resort
("Resort Booked Excursions") or pre-booked and paid for when you book
your Holiday ("Pre-booked Excursions"). All excursions are supplied by third
party suppliers and are subject to the clause C8. We accept, subject to
clauses A9 (entitled "Our Liability to You") and C8 entitled "Suppliers'
Conditions"), responsibility for Pre-booked Excursions. However, Resort
Booked Excursions do not form part of your Package and are not governed
by the Package Travel, Package Holiday and Package Tours Regulations
1992. We do not have any responsibility or liability whatsoever for anything
which may go wrong on a Resort Booked Excursion. We, our servants,
employees or agents are acting, depending upon the actual Resort Booked
Excursion, either as agents for the relevant Resort Booked Excursion supplier
or as agent for you. In any event the contract for any Resort Booked
Excursion is between you and the Resort Booked Excursion provider. It is
your responsibility to note carefully any conditions of contract contained in
any Resort Booked Excursion, literature, ticket or receipt you are given. For
Resort Booked Excursions you may be subject to the laws of the country in
which you take your excursion and may be required to bring any disputes or
claims before the Courts of that country also.
C6. Changes you make before travel
If you want to change the arrangements you have booked in any way, we
will try to help you, although we cannot guarantee that we will always be
able to do this as changes are subject to availability at the time and to the
transport providers terms and conditions. Please note that typically changes
to scheduled flight tickets, ferry and Eurostar tickets are very restrictive.
Where we can make a change, we will charge for any additional services,
facilities, or other items changed, at the price which applies on the day the
change is made. In addition, we will also apply charges for each person
on the booking and for each item you want to change as shown in the
table below. Any booking discount you may have received at the time the
original booking was made, may be altered or reduced whenever
changes are made. If you have paid supplements for accommodation and
the number of people in your accommodation changes, you may have to
pay extra and may lose any free or reduced infant and child places or any
free group places. And remember any change to your departure date,
airport, transport, destination, accommodation, or length of holiday has to
apply to all members of your booking.

Note 1: In all cases a change to the outbound travel date, once confirmed, is regarded as a cancellation and rebooking, not an alteration to the booking.
Note 2: You are not permitted to change all the names on any booking and at least one of the passengers (over 18) on the original booking must remain,
unless you are prevented from travelling for reasons beyond your control and not simply from a change of mind. If the services booked are dependent on
a minimum number of people using the service, we will have to recalculate the total cost if the number of passengers travelling has altered. The cost may
therefore increase but as this is not a cancellation charge, it may not be covered by your insurance.
Note 3: When we refer to 'Optional Extras', we mean anything you choose to add to your booking that is additional to the inclusive transport and
accommodation arrangements you book. For example, car hire, weddings or park tickets. If you cancel any Optional Extras for which there is a cost, we
will apply the charges above. If you cancel any Travel insurance you booked through us your premium will not be refunded, as cover under the policy will
already have begun.
Note 4: No charge will be made for changes to accommodation made during the period stated, with the exception of accommodation booked to coincide
with peak periods or special events or when we negotiate special offer rates with our accommodation providers. Such rates may not allow changes to
accommodation once booked – any such changes will incur up to 100% charges. Where this applies, you will be advised at the time of booking.
C7. Cancellation By You
The lead name on the booking must give notice to cancel in writing either to their travel agent or to the correspondence address as stated on the invoice
and the charges shown below apply from the date we receive the notice at our offices or the travel agent activates the cancellation. In order to cover our
expected losses from the cancellation of the booking there is a set scale of charges which must be paid by you if you or anyone travelling with you
cancels. Note: These cancellation charges apply to all bookings, except in circumstances where a booking includes items or services where our suppliers
own cancellation charges exceed those shown below. In these circumstances any additional cancellation charges will be advised at the time of booking.
Please ensure you are certain of the fees applicable to your booking by asking us before proceeding to book your arrangements.

C8. Suppliers’ conditions
Our third party suppliers have their own booking conditions and conditions of carriage, and you will be bound by these, so far as the relevant supplier is
concerned. Our suppliers’ conditions will also apply to your contract with us, and in the event of any conflict between the suppliers’ conditions and our
conditions, the suppliers’ conditions will prevail, save to the extent that any term in the suppliers’ conditions is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, in
which event our conditions will prevail. Some of our Suppliers’ conditions may limit or exclude liability on the part of the relevant supplier, and, by virtue of
their application to your contract with us, may also limit or exclude our liability to you, and they are often subject to international conventions. Where
relevant, copies of such conditions may be available for inspection at the office of the relevant supplier.
service; for the detection and prevention of fraud or other crime (which may

include passing your information to public authorities such as customs and
immigration) and for marketing contact by means of post or telephone to
provide you with offers, products and services from companies within the
Gold Medal Travel Group and carefully selected third parties. If you
purchase travel insurance from us, we will need to pass your personal data
(including sensitive personal data and personal/sensitive data relating to
other members of your travelling party) to the insurance company.

supply you with your travel documentation. We are entitled to assume that
the e-mail address you have provided is correct and that you understand
and accept the risks associated with using this form of communication.
Please note that you may still need to contact us by post or via our call

Booking conditions Indian Ocean
Note: Name changes (including initial changes), destination and date changes can be treated by such suppliers as a cancellation and rebooking,
regardless of the period of notice given to us. If the supplier treats the change as a cancellation and rebooking we will pass on to you the cost imposed
by the supplier, which could be up to 100% of the transport element of your booking and you must also pay the charge listed in the table below.
C15. Your Responsibility
We want all our customers to have an enjoyable, carefree Holiday. But
you must remember that you are responsible for your actions and the effect
they may have on others. If we, or another person in authority, believe:
- your actions could upset, annoy or disturb other customers, our suppliers or
our own staff, or put them in any risk or danger, or damage property; or
- you are unfit to travel; we may end your Holiday and terminate your
contract. You and your travelling party will be prevented from using your
booked accommodation, transport, and any other Travel Arrangements
forming part of your booking and we will not be liable for any refund,
compensation or any other costs you have to pay. Alternatively at our
discretion, you may be permitted to continue with your Holiday but may
have additional terms of carriage imposed upon you. See 'In-Flight Safety
in the All You Need To Know/Holiday Information sections of the relevant
brochure and on our websites for further details.
In addition to the above and the effect your actions may have on others,
you must particularly also bear in mind that you are responsible for your
safety, and that you are responsible for the condition of the property you
occupy. We are not responsible for any accidents which occur in or
around swimming pools due to your inappropriate, or irresponsible
behaviour, or for any accidents which occur anywhere on properties
because of glass, china or the like which you have broken and/or have left
in a way in which injury can result. We expect that you will enjoy your
holiday with us. We appreciate that you may well drink alcohol as part of
your enjoyment. You must, however, do so responsibly and we will have no
liability to you for any injury, loss or damage you suffer as a result of your
judgment being impaired wholly or partly by alcohol. We will hold you
and the members of your travelling party jointly and individually liable for
any damage to the accommodation, furniture, apparatus or other materials
located within the accommodation, together with any legal costs we incur
in pursuing a claim. It is your duty to report any breakages, defects or
damage to an appropriate person immediately. If your behaviour or the
behaviour of any members of your travelling party causes any transport
aircraft to be diverted we and/or the carrier will hold you and those
members jointly and individually liable for all costs incurred as a result of
that diversion. We cannot accept liability for the behaviour of others in your
accommodation or flight, or for any facilities/services withdrawn as a result
of their action.

C9. Baggage
The amount of compensation you may receive for any loss or damage to luggage is limited in accordance with the conventions listed in the above
section. For claims for missing or damaged baggage you must follow the rules on the back or your ticket or contained within the carrier’s conditions of
carriage. Please note time limits apply within which to notify us or the carrier and make a claim. We will not accept liability for highvalue items which you
should insure for the appropriate amount.
C10. Flight and Other Travel Timings
Flight timings are provided by airlines and are subject to Air Traffic Control restrictions. All means of transportation are subject to weather conditions and
the need for constant maintenance and the ability of passengers to check in on time. There is no guarantee that transport will depart at the times stated on
any itinerary or tickets which you receive. All timings are estimates only, and we do not have any liability to you for any delay, which may arise, or for any
schedule alterations.
C11. Complaints
We aim to provide the best holiday possible. However, if you are not satisfied please complain as soon as possible to the relevant person (for example,
the accommodation management or transport supplier). If they cannot help, you should contact your Travel Agent, who made your booking or contact
Gold Medal using the emergency contact number shown on your travel documentation and we will do everything reasonably possible to sort the
problem out. When you get back home send a letter to our offices in the UK, within 28 days of returning home. If you have special needs that prevent you
from writing to us then, where possible, we will accept details of your complaint over the telephone. For complaints arising from Scheduled airlines, we will
act as a liaison between you and the airline, to try to assist in resolving the problem. If we cannot help and you wish to take matters further, you must
contact the airline directly. The address to send your completed form and covering letter to is: Gold Medal Customer Relations Department, The Trident
Centre, Port Way, Ribble Docklands, Preston, PR2 2QG Email your complaint: [email protected]
We would point out that failure to follow the above procedures during your holiday, and/or failure to complain within 28 days of your return, may reduce
or extinguish any rights you have to claim compensation from us, or from any relevant supplier. Any such rights will be reduced or extinguished if, had you
followed the above procedures during your holiday, you or we could have taken steps to reduce any loss or damage suffered or entirely prevented it from
being suffered. It is difficult and sometimes impossible to properly investigate a complaint if we are not told about it reasonably quickly once the holiday is
over. Your right to claim compensation may also be reduced or extinguished, should any delay in your complaint being notified during or after your
holiday, prevent us from carrying out a proper investigation. We aim to resolve all complaints ourselves, but if this is not possible your complaint can be
considered under a scheme devised by ABTA and administered by CEDR Solve. We will give you details of this scheme if you ask. The scheme does not
apply to claims over £25,000 in total or more than £5,000 a person, or to claims mainly about illness or injury. To take advantage of the scheme you
must contact the CEDR Solve within 18 months of returning from your Holiday.
C12. Travel Documents And Health Advice
It is your responsibility to have valid travel documents. If we or your carrier are fined as a result of you holding incorrect documents, you will have to pay us
the full amount. For up to date UK Government health & travel advice please visit www.fco.gov.uk, www.hpa.org.uk and www.nathnac.org and contact
your GP. See our Holiday Information pages and website for further information.
C13. Information Accuracy
We publish brochure and website information many months in advance and, as far as we know, all information is correct at the time of publication.
However, things may still change after publication and we check regularly to see if we need to update or correct any information or prices. If there are
any significant information changes or we find any mistakes, we will put details on our computer reservation system or website so you will receive the latest
information when you make your booking. Descriptions of accommodation, facilities and services we provide are based on information obtained from our
suppliers. Sometimes the facilities described will be withdrawn for reasons such as maintenance, bad weather or lack of demand from guests. Where our
suppliers advise us about significant changes to descriptions or about the withdrawal of any significant facility, we will tell you as soon as possible. Some
activities or facilities, watersports for example, may not be available all year round. There may be a charge for some facilities, for example, TVs, safety
deposit boxes, sun-loungers, parasols, tennis courts, pool tables and air-conditioning. In some places during high season (and even at other times) there is
a possibility you will be disturbed by noise from less considerate groups, so please bear this in mind when choosing your destination and accommodation.
Any transfer times we quote for travel between airport and resort are approximate and, depending on circumstances, the journey time to your own chosen
property may be longer.
C14. Data Protection
By making a booking with us, you agree we may use and disclose the information you provide for the following purposes: to enable us to process your
booking (which will include passing your information to third party suppliers, such as hoteliers and airlines, and may involve sending your information to
countries that do not have an equal level of privacy legislation to that in the UK); for market research and analysis purposes; for improving customer
