Egypt
S
et like a sun-flushed parchment through which the blue ink Nile flows eternally, tracing the ground
plan of human civilisation over 5,000 years. Egypt resounds with famous names throughout its history;
Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Kitchener and Montgomery – all came and campaigned here.
Cleopatra and Florence Nightingale were also here and Verdi composed and conducted Aida at the opening
celebrations of the Suez Canal in 1869.
The Nile, regarded as the world’s longest river, has shaped the character of the country and its people over
the ages. The river was a ready timepiece which guided their lives, from the governance of Joseph, to the
entry of Alexander.
Egypt was the place where they used the first tape to mark land claims and called the procedure Geometry
and where they invented the solar calendar of 12 months of thirty days; indeed the first recorded date
in world history, 4,241 BC, is Egyptian. In all respects, from religion to the arts, from navigation to the
engineering of massive edifices, it was an imperial civilisation.
Modern day Egypt combines a wealth of history with stunning natural landscapes. From the Pyramids at
Giza and the Temple of Karnak at Luxor, to the unique underworld environment of the Red Sea, a focal
point for scuba divers throughout the world, Egypt has something to satisfy every discerning holiday
traveller.

About Egypt
When To Go
Egypt is a year round destination. It’s popularity amongst travellers is not only due to the unique cultural
sights, but also its climate. Egypt is one of the world's sunniest destinations and most of the country averages
11 hours of sunshine a day in the Summer and 8 hours in the Winter.
Whilst being popular all year round, some destinations such as Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea resorts
can be quite hot during the Summer months, which fall at the same time as here in the UK.

QI EGYPT
XX The Great Pyramids: 2.5 million blocks of limestone were used to build the pyramids at Giza weighing 6 million tons. The King's chamber at the top covers a modest
area of 5m by 10m, but the roof above it weighs 400 tons!
XX Alexander the Great: Following his conquering of Egypt, he established himself in the fishing village of Rakotis on the Mediterranean Coast of Egypt, later to
become Alexandria.
XX Antony & Cleopatra: The great Queen and last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, Mark Anthony, met following the assassination of Julius Caesar. They fell in love and
bore 3 children, however their love ended in suicide; Anthony stabbed himself and Cleopatra gave her hand to the poison of an asp.
XX The Rosetta Stone: Carved in 196 bc in three scripts, it was found in 1799 by French soldiers of Napoleon while building a fort in the town of Rosetta (Rashid). After
many years of studying the stone, Jean Francois Champollion, who could read both Greek and Coptic, deciphered its hieroglyphs in 1822.
XX The Alexandria Library: The Alexandria Library was also a brain centre where east met west. When Julius Caesar, endangered by the revolt, had to swim for
his life to the island of pharaohs, he retaliated by firing at the warehouse and palace which damaged the books in the library as it caught fire. This lead
to the end of the library which vanished over time.
XX The Modern Calendar: The ancient Egyptians also have the distinct honour of having invented not only the modern 365 day calendar, but the leap year system
as well.
XX Ancient Scripts: The Egyptians invented an early system of writing known as hieroglyphics. They also invented paper on which to place it, made from the fibres
of the papyrus plant.

Cities & Sights
Cairo & Giza
The largest city in Africa, where designer boutiques and five star
hotels sit side by side with cloistered souks, bazaars and Mosques.
Cairo is a teeming city, both modern and old, a new centre with
suburbs 5,000 years old, cream painted houses and yellowed
stone pyramids. Its sands hold more history within its gritty folds,
and perhaps a lot more wisdom, than has yet been discovered.
The pyramids of Egypt, the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the
Ancient World, are the only one of those wonders to survive to
the present day. The Great Pyramid at Giza plateau is made up
of about 2.5 million stones, each weighing between two and
seventy tons. The Sphinx lost its nose in 1798 when Napoleon’s
soldiers used it for target practice!

And So The Story Goes

HOWARD CARTER & TUTANKHAMUN
Howard Carter was born in London England in 1874, the
son of an artist. Carter's talents in drawing and his interest
in Egypt saw him travel to Alexandria at the age of 17.
Initially he spent time as a tracer copying ancient drawings
and inscriptions on to paper. He quickly moved into
archaeology under the guidance of William Flinders Petrie.
Soon after he was appointed to the position of Inspector
General of Monuments for Upper Egypt for the Egyptian
Antiquities Service. Carter spent 5 years supervising
the archaeological work around the Upper Nile Valley,
including the Thebes area now known as Luxor.
ASWAN HIGH DAM & ABU SIMBEL
In 1905 an incident involving some drunken French tourists and Carter’s Egyptian site guards
occurred. In supporting his guards, Carter was forced to resign from his post. He spent the next
4 years seeking private funding to continue his work and found a position with Lord Carnarvon.
Howard Carter became obsessed with locating the tomb of a relatively unknown pharaoh called
Tutankhamun. In 1922 Carter was given his final year of funding by Carnarvon, however 3 days
into digging, Carter finally discovered Tutankhamun’s lost tomb. Soon after the discovery, Lord
Carnarvon died from Pneumonia. Legend surrounding Tutankhamun’s tomb suggests that by
1929 eleven people connected to the discovery had died, prompting stories of a curse.
The impact on the area caused great challenges. Ancient temples and 90,000 Nubians called
this area home. The international community began proposing solutions to save the greatest
temple, Abu Simbel, built as a tribute to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah. It is believed
that the axis of the temple was positioned by ancient architects so that on October and February
21st, the sun’s rays would illuminate the sculptures on the back wall. It was decided that the
temple would be cut into large segments, lifted and relocated to its current position. The temple
was positioned in its new home so that the sun’s rays would still light the back walls on October
and February 21st. Today Abu Simbel temple is one of the most visited of Egypt’s temples.
Since the ancient Egyptians, it was recorded that in
summer the Nile would flood its banks. It was so
consistent that they created a calendar around the
event, which became the precursor of the modern
calendar. As the population grew, the government
sought to control the annual floods in order to
provide consistent farming land and to create
hydro-electricity by constructing the Aswan High
Dam. Constructed in the 1960's, the dam was to
create a reservoir of water that would become Lake
Nasser, the world’s largest man-made lake.
Activities
In Egypt
DIVING
The Red Sea is a focal point for the diving community, with its beautiful reef life and
corals, in addition to the numerous species of fish. It boasts some of the world’s most
famous dive sites, such as Ras Mohammed, the Thistlegorm wreck and the Straits of
Tiran and Abu Nuhas Reef. As a result, the resorts of the Red Sea are excellent places to
learn to dive. Sharm El Sheikh it’s the most established resort. However Hurghada, Dahab
and El Gouna offer tremendous diving opportunities in quieter locations.
Spa
The practice of travelling to hot or cold springs, in the hope of effecting a cure of some
ailment, dates back to Ancient times and was ritually practised by both the Egyptians
and Romans. If you are looking for a spa holiday or a luxury spa resort, then Egypt is the
ideal destination. With year-round resorts and mild winters, you can pamper yourself
whenever you choose. Enjoy massage, aromatherapy, mud baths, sauna, steam baths,
body wraps and facials. There is no lack of pampering options for spa breaks in Egypt.
Golf
Golf on the Red Sea is rapidly growing in popularity as golfers look for new and
challenging courses in year-round warm weather. Egypt offers great golf for both high
and low handicappers, along with beautiful scenery and sensational views of the Red
Sea and desert mountains. Located in fabulous holiday resorts (such as the Steigenberger
Golf Resort El Gouna, Maritim Jolie Ville Golf and La Residence Des Cascades Soma Bay),
these golf courses cater for the occasional round as well as competitions and groups.
balloons over luxor
A spectacular way to enjoy the immense beauty of The Nile and sights of Luxor is to take
a Hot Air Balloon flight across the ancient landscape. This is a unique and unforgettable
experience, drifting peacefully over the West Bank of Luxor, seeing the ancient monuments
of Thebes and enjoy the panorama of Luxor with the Nile River punctuating the horizon. All
flights operate on a 'weather permitting basis' and are scheduled for the early morning to
take advantage of the gentle winds and dawn light. An unforgettable experience.

CRU I SING INFORMATION
Most seven night cruises travel from either Aswan or Luxor and return to their starting
point and on occasions the itinerary stops at the same sites, so please check the
full itinerary carefully. Nile cruising is not like conventional ocean cruising, with the
distance covered between Aswan and Luxor being only 240km. The boats provide
Luxor
Sitting in the heart of the Nile Valley, this modern city is
the perfect base to explore the sacred Valley of the Kings
and Valley of the Queens.
a comfortable and scenic base from which to explore the historic sites. Sightseeing
tends to be early in the morning to avoid the heat and crowds of the day and can
also mean strenuous walking. A lack of proper docking facilities in places may require
disembarkation on planks, over rocks and up steep inclines.
Edfu
Important Note: Low water levels on the Nile due to the closure of the Esna Lock and delays at the
locks can, on occasion, change the itinerary. Often at short notice - The lock at Esna is scheduled
to close for approximately two weeks in early December and for the month of June every year.
Please contact our consultants for further information.
Enjoy Cleopatra VII’s completely preserved Temple of
Horus and take a stroll around the ancient settlement of
Tell Edfu and its small provincial pyramid.
Kom Ombo
The Temple of Kom Ombo is a unique double temple, with
two symmetrical sides. One half dedicated to the crocodile
god Sobek and the other dedicated to the falcon god,
Horus.

XX Try to see Kom Ombo Temple at night. All lit up, it certainly makes for a sumptuous sight.
XX If you overnight at Edfu, catch the new Sound & light show, which has had great reviews.
XX Cruising down the Nile is about watching the life on the river, it’s people, the lush
surroundings and the wildlife.
Philae Temple
Said to be one of the burial places of Osiris, this sacred
temple also served as a centre of commerce and trading
between the ancient Nubians and Egyptians.
XX Carry Egyptian pounds in change for all sorts of things including the toilets.

XX Remember when booking your diving that you need to leave at least 24hrs between last dive

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ACCOMMODATION/HOTEL
Unless otherwise stated, accommodation is in standard twin/double rooms though bed configuration cannot
be guaranteed. Specific room requirements cannot be guaranteed as the allocation is at the discretion of the
hotel proprietor. Rooms are generally available between noon and 3pm, and are to be vacated between 10am
and noon, irrespective of arrival or departure times. Day rooms are subject to availability and an extra cost may
be charged. A triple room is usually a twin/double room, with an additional bed or folding pull out design,
hence conditions may be cramped. The standard and location of single rooms is not always as good as twin/
double rooms (even if a twin/double is booked for sole occupancy). A supplement is payable whether the room
allocated is a single or a twin room. On excursions and tours single rooms cannot be guaranteed during peak
periods, and you may be asked to share a room with another guest of the same sex. In such an instance the
single supplement will be refunded for the appropriate duration. In some destinations, be prepared to encounter
insects (e.g. cockroaches, mosquitoes, ants, etc.) in your hotel room, especially at beach resorts where they are
a natural occurrence and do not reflect the standard of hygiene and cleanliness. ‘Sea view’ - means the sea can
be seen from your room but may be at an angle or partial. Full sea view or sea front view means a more extensive
sea view, but still may have courtyard gardens, trees, pool or such like in the view. The name of a room is not
a description and may bear no reference to the description. Please note, all accommodation listed in this brochure
and on our website have an introduction which are in bullet points, this is an opinion of the accommodation
by Mosaic Holidays and not a fact. Pictures of either the brochure or website may not represent the room
allocated. Please note that care must be taken at night as resort/hotel grounds paths may not be illuminated.
With reference to pools, jacuzzis, courtyards or such unless specifically stated as private they may be shared.
Dining in certain resorts/cruise ships may mean shared and/or preassigned tables. Children sharing a room with
adults are based on existing bedding (rollaway beds and/or additional bedding may incur a charge. Early arrival
and late departures in certain hotels may incur a mandatory extra night charge. Minibar may not be stocked.
Facilities can be temporarily unavailable due to ongoing maintenance and repairs. The beach can also be effected
by inclement weather, which may lead to erosion and, combined with the sea state, may represent a danger.
Unless specifically shown as ‘Free’, you may have to pay locally for facilities or services used.
ALCOHOL
Restrictions on the consumption of alcohol may be imposed with little or no notice by the relevant authorities.
AIRPORT TAXES
UK Air Passenger Duty (currently £40 per person to non-EU destinations) and all UK Airport departure Taxes are
included in your holiday price. Foreign departure taxes vary from destination to destination and may have to be
paid locally, by the client, on departure. You may have to pay hard currency e.g. pounds sterling or American
dollars. This charge may vary depending on the destination or carrier. Where we are aware of the costs prior to
your departure, we will advise you.
BAGGAGE
From the check-in point, your personal effects and baggage are the responsibility of the carrier until recovery at
your destination airport. In any circumstance whereby there is mislaid or lost luggage, to obtain any compensation
you must complete a ‘Property Irregularity Report’ before you leave the airport, with a representative of the
airline within the time limits specified on your air tickets. Please note, luggage allowances will be shown on your
air ticket and that infants do not get a baggage allowance. On international flights the allowance is usually 20kg
(15kg on some charter flights). Airlines normally only allow one small piece of cabin baggage (5kg - dimensions
45cm x 35cm x 20cm) and this may be included in your total weight allowance. The total allowance on some
local flights using light aircraft may be restricted to 5kg. No individual item of luggage should exceed 32kg (may
be reduced and can vary from carrier). Please note that luggage rules and regulations are changing and individual
carriers have different regulations. Please check with your individual carrier just prior to flying for the most up-todate regulations. Excess baggage is carried at the airlines discretion and you may incur charges payable directly
to the airline. During transfers please ensure your belongings are loaded on to the correct transfer vehicle, this is
not the responsibility of Mosaic Holidays. Please see Dive notes for luggage allowances on dive equipment. Please
ask the relevant airline for the latest allowances for all baggages.
BROCHURE ACCURACY
Every care has been taken to ensure that the facts on all Mosaic publications are accurate at the time of printing.
Please check with your agent or Mosaic prior to booking for any changes. The description of facilities at a hotel
or tour itineraries and excursions are those that are normally available, unless otherwise specified as being ‘FREE’,
a charge will be a made. Please bear in mind those hoteliers, restaurateurs and nightclub owners may wish to
maintain /improve their facilities, which may be temporarily or permanently closed for maintenance or during
periods of low occupancy. There may be changes to flight times, cruises, tours, excursions as advertised in the
brochure and your itinerary as a result of local conditions. Cruise ships/boats may change without notice to
those of a similar standard or facilities. Such changes are beyond our control, but when we are advised of any
significant or long term changes prior to your departure we will try to notify you as soon as is reasonably possible
and time permitting. Should any such events occur during the course of the journey, our local agents will do their
best to rectify the matter on the spot. However we reserve the right to make minor changes to the scheduled
programme without becoming liable to you for any refund or compensation.
BROCHURE PRICE
It is possible that some of the prices contained in this brochure may have changed since the brochure was
printed. You will be informed of any relevant price changes at the time of booking. Prices shown in this brochure,
which make up the inclusive cost quoted on our final invoice, are based on special contract rates. See condition
2 of Booking Conditions for pricing policy. Mosaic Holidays Ltd has no control or jurisdiction over prices that
may be charged at destinations for the same or similar services and accepts no responsibility or liability if these
differ from those herein.
COMPLAINTS WHILST ON HOLIDAY
If you have a complaint about any element of your holiday, please see our local agents or the hotelier immediately.
Matters can often be more easily sorted out whilst you are in the resort. In the unlikely event that matters cannot
be resolved locally, please contact our head office in London. (See booking conditions)
CONDUCT
We would like to remind you that we reserve the right to decline, accept or retain any person as a client at
any time, and we shall be under no liability for any extra costs incurred as a result of our doing so. In our
absolute discretion we reserve the right to terminate without notice the holiday arrangements of any client
whose behaviour is such that it is likely in our opinion to cause distress, damage, danger or annoyance to our
customers, employees, agent’s, property or third parties. Mosaic has no control over the behaviour of other
persons staying or visiting your holiday accommodation or town. (See Booking Conditions)
CHILD REDUCTIONS
For your family holiday Mosaic offers child reductions. Child reductions apply to children 11 years old and
under on the date of travel, when sharing a room with two adults. Sleeping arrangements vary in each resort,
in some hotels children must share existing beds; in others foldaway beds will be provided. Apartment costs to
be based on number of adults in party: child costs as detailed plus seasonal departure and flight supplements
as appropriate. For children occupying their own room or where no reduction is shown, please ask for more
details. Reductions are not applicable on meal supplements or seasonal departure supplements. Infants who
reach the age of 2 years whilst on holiday will be considered to be children, if under 2 years, you must pay
a small charge for their flight but are not provided with a seat or any baggage allowance. Any charges for cots,
meals and local taxes are payable locally. All prices quoted will have to be rechecked at the time of booking as
availability in the class may have changed and higher costing in the class may have to be used.
CLIMATE TABLES
Climate tables are a guide only. Mosaic Holidays cannot accept responsibility for the weather during your holiday.
CURRENCY & EXCHANGE
Some countries have restrictions on the importation and exportation of local currency, therefore please check
with the relevant Embassy or High Commission. Never exchange money on the black market. Even though
some Hotels and boats have exchange facilities, excess demand may result in delays and shortage of currency.
Services paid for by credit card will be subject to the applicable rate of exchange given at the time the voucher
is presented to the credit card company, and may differ from the rate prevailing on the date that the service
was provided. Local banks and vendors may add an extra charge for using credit cards. Please ensure you have
sufficient monies to cover all expenses, as we are unable to help in the eventuality of insufficient funds in resort.
DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT)
Sometimes referred to as Economy Class Syndrome, DVT is a condition which has the potential to affect all
travellers regardless of mode of transport and class of travel. If you are concerned about travelling, then you are
advised to contact your GP before you depart.
ELECTRICITY AND WATER SUPPLY
Unfortunately the facts are that in many underdeveloped countries in the world with high tourist demands on
local supplies of electricity or water, there may be times when these elements exceed the supply, resulting in
power cuts, water shortages and plumbing or drainage problems. During these times the air-conditioning units,
hot/cold water taps, room lighting or mini-bars may be affected. Whilst electrical wiring standards do always
meet local safety standards, on occasion they may be lower than those applicable in the UK.
EXCURSIONS
Excursion prices listed in the Mosaic brochure may vary from the listed price in resort; please confirm all prices
at the time of booking. Also, any trips booked and paid for in advance are subject to our booking conditions/
or cancellations. Should you wish to book excursions at your resort operated by local agents, refunds cannot
be claimed from ourselves once you have returned to the UK and they do not form part of the package holiday
being purchased from us. It should also be noted that some types of travel insurance do not cover claims arising
from excursions/tours purchased in resort in particular cancellation of such tours and losses suffered as a result
of partaking in hazardous activities for which an additional premium was not paid. We advise you check the
conditions of your insurance policies. Mosaic can only accept responsibility for excursions that are pre-booked
and pre-paid in the UK Please note: most excursions in resort are charged in hard currency (sterling or U$
dollars). As a responsible tour operator we take care in choosing the suppliers of excursions but there are some
excursions, such as diving for example, where it is impossible to remove all risks. Only you can decide whether
you wish to take that risk, however small, and we are happy to offer advice before you make your decision.
Please ensure if you chose to take part in any form of adventure activity that you have checked that your policy
of insurance covers the proposed activity and made all necessary disclosures to your insurers.
FLIGHT SECURITY
Please make sure to carry sharp objects and any electrical equipment such as radios and hairdryers in your main
luggage because you will be asked at check-in about any such equipment. Please avoid leaving your luggage
unattended and do not accept parcels from strangers. Please ask the relevant airline for the latest information
before travelling.
FLIGHTS AND FLIGHT CARRIERS
The airline planned to be used on the long haul sectors of your holiday are shown for your guidance on the
price panel relating to your holiday. On some holidays and tours other carriers are also used to complete your
holiday flying requirements. Actual flight numbers are not known at the time of publication. We reserve the right
to substitute alternative carriers and/or aircraft types if necessary. Where the situation arises, it is not possible
to transfer to another holiday or cancel without incurring normal cancellation charges. Because of the distances
involved, many flights stop en route for technical reasons e.g. refuelling. As scheduled airlines often change routes
and fuel stops, we cannot always notify you in advance. It may also be necessary on some holidays for you to
change aircraft, and sometimes airline at one of the stops. Airline schedules may vary and an unexpected change
of aircraft may become necessary. We will do our best to inform you of any changes before your departure and
all planned plane changes will be indicated on your tickets. Please bear this in mind if you are booking domestic
flight connections, taxis etc independently. If you are booking your own UK domestic flights, please leave sufficient
time to take into account the possibility of delays to either your domestic or international flights. We strongly
recommend that you purchase a flexible ticket for your domestic flights as, although initially more expensive,
the extra cost is more than worth it in the event of a time change or delay. Delays for whatever reason are the
responsibility of the airline and subject to their conditions of contract. Where a delay results in lost holiday time,
no refunds are given by hotels for unused accommodation or meals since these are held until your arrival and not
re-sold. Similarly, airlines do not always offer compensation for flight delays and will not alter your homeward flight
to account for any lost holiday resulting form out bound flight delays. We cannot accept any loss arising out of:
a) missed connections to international flights; b) the cancellation/change of UK/EC domestic flights
unless they are part of the package booked by us. If you miss your outbound scheduled flight, please
notify the airline as soon as possible in order to ensure that your homeward flight is not affected. We
reserve the right to change flight supplements form time to time. Supplements can go up or down.
The supplement when you book will not exceed any applicable supplements stated within this brochure by more
than £200. Please check the up-to-date supplement for your chosen holiday with your travel agent or Mosaic
reservations staff before you book. The flight times shown in the Mosaic supplement/brochure are for guidance
only, and are subject to confirmation and alteration. Specific instructions relating to your departure and travel
arrangements will be sent with your tickets. Where domestic flights form part of an itinerary, every effort will
be made to ensure the best connection, but local circumstances may mean departures are earlier or later than
anticipated. It is for this reason that times are not specified in the itinerary. A direct flight is one where you do not
have to change planes; it does not mean it is non-stop. Please note that due to airline policy certain flights may be
non-smoking or do not serve alcohol. We cannot accept any responsibility whatsoever for any consequential costs
arising out of missed connections to outbound and inbound international flights, unless they are part of a prebooked package with us. Charter Flights offer tremendous value for money, however in many cases the seat pitch
(leg room) is less than that of scheduled flights and some therefore may be less comfortable. All monies paid by you
for both our chartered and scheduled flights are fully protected by our Civil Aviation Authority bond, No. 5236. Our
CAA ATOL bond also covers all flights. As is usual, bookings for holidays by charter flights which are advertised in
the Mosaic brochure and supplement are accepted subject to granting of licenses by the Civil Aviation Authority.
FORCE MAJEURE
We regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of
our contractual obligation is prevented or affected by ‘force majeure’. In the Booking Conditions ‘force Majeure’
means any event 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 war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist activities, industrial disputes,
natural or nuclear disasters, fire, technical problems to transport, closure or congestion schedules by scheduled
airlines and all similar events outside our control.
GENERAL BOOKING CONDITIONS
These booking conditions contain some exclusions and limitations of liability . If any part of the conditions proves
to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the conditions will remain valid. This agreement will be governed by
the relevant law wherever you live in the UK.
HEALTH, SAFETY & SECURITY ABROAD
Some countries do not conform to British Health and Safety Standards. The applicable safety standards
regulations which apply overseas are those of the country concerned, and as result, general standards of safety,
hygiene, fire precautions etc. can be lower than we take for granted in the UK. Upset stomachs are a common
occurrence whilst visiting new countries with different climates. Sensible precautions need to be taken, especially
with regard to raw food and ice in drinks. If you are prone to illness please ensure that you carry enough
medication, as some medicines may be unavailable locally. Some countries are subject to political and economic
instability. Crime occurs throughout the world, to reduce the risk of theft or mugging please be extra vigilant
when visiting strange countries. Do not leave valuables unattended and where possible store them in a safe
place. Always respect local customs and standards, especially in areas of cultural and religious importance, as this
may offend locals. In rapidly developing resorts there are many deserted beaches and most pools and beaches
are not supervised. We recommend you familiarise yourself with pool depths and the layout of pool before
entering it. Please exercise caution before entering the sea as the sea bed is not even and changes in depth.
— Reservations: 020 8574 4000 —
85
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Children must be supervised by you at all times near water or in unfamiliar buildings or surroundings. We insist
you exercise caution as these are unfamiliar surroundings. Please check emergency instructions on arrival. Mosaic
cannot take responsibility for the safety and conditions of beaches.
HOLIDAY DURATION
Holiday duration is always referred as number of nights at holiday accommodation. With respect to night flights,
access to your room will be available upon arrival thus constituting your first night. Certain hotels (particularly
all inclusive) may charge an additional night for early arrivals/late departures or request you leave the property.
HOTEL FACILITIES
Certain amenities and services may incur a discretionary charge payable locally, such as health club
facilities, spa treatments, sun bed time, towels, kids club, baby sitting, watersports and others. Please
contact reservations for further information. Please note that in accommodation descriptions, we have
mentioned Kids Clubs and the pertinent age group, we have no control on this and the hotel can
change this with little or no notice. Spas, dive centres and facilities managed by outside contractors
can change services, prices and timings with little or no notice.
REQUEST OF HOLIDAY AND FLIGHT CHANGES
Requests of flight or accommodation changes are subject to availability when made in resort, and all payments must
be made locally. Should you decide to change your accommodation to another featured in our brochure, please note
that room rates can not be guaranteed at our brochure rate and you may be charged at a local rate. ‘Disinclination’ to
travel will be deemed to be a cancellation of the service, and the normal cancellation charges will apply.
INSURANCE (do not travel without insurance)
Unfortunately, even the best laid plans can go wrong and accidents may happen both here and abroad,
which makes it imperative that all passengers have adequate travel insurance cover. If you do not purchase
our insurance, we insist that you take insurance with equivalent cover and we must be advised in writing of
the policy, name and number. In the event that you are not adequately insured, it will be deemed that you
indemnify Mosaic for any delays in contacting your insurers on your behalf in the event of any emergency.
Should you accept cover offered by credit card companies, please ensure that it covers all aspects of necessary
insurance, including that for healthcare abroad. Please read your policy details carefully. It is your responsibility to
ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is adequate for your particular needs. You will need extra cover for
dangerous activities e.g. diving, paragliding etc. We do not check alternative insurance policies.
MEALS
The standard of meals and services at hotels varies enormously depending on the style of the hotel and local
characteristics. If you have booked half board, this is defined as breakfast and dinner. Depending on the flight times to
your resort or tour, those who have booked meals may lose one due to the time of arrival at, or departure from, their
hotel. In these cases, we have calculated the basic holiday price to allow for this. Where meals are described as basic or
simple, please expect just that in all aspects, including preparation, quality and quantity, and service. Vegetarian meals
may be limited. Breakfast will be continental style and often buffet style unless otherwise stated. Lunch and dinner
when included will be a set menu or buffet style and it is not usual for hotels to allow you to substitute lunch for dinner
when booking half board. Dine around half board in most cases means dinner will be served buffet style in the main
restaurant or a set menu or partial credit will be offered in other restaurants in the hotel (please note - partial credit
is only a part of the payment made for meal supplement in the UK). Not all restaurants in the hotel will be covered
by Dinearound (e.g. speciality restaurants). 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 In our accommodation descriptions in the brochure and on our website,
under dining, we list restaurant names and descriptions. Please note that we have no jurisdiction on hotel restaurants
and on their names, and that the menus and names can change with little or no notice.
ALL INCLUSIVE INFORMATION
All inclusive holidays offer every opportunity for relaxing, taking part in sports and games and generally enjoying
yourself. However some simple rules will help you in achieving this aim. When you arrive at your hotel you are likely
to be provided with some form of identification ( it maybe a card or bracelet etc), which will have to be shown when
ordering drinks, meals and other facilities. Ensure you take care of this as a penalty is likely to be imposed if lost.
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 also bearing in mind that local managements have every right to
refuse service to guests that are believed to be intoxicated or under age (in accordance with local law). Please note:
in most all-inclusive hotels there are a selection of services, facilities and some food and beverages that will incur
charges. The inclusive packages information is for guidance only. Timings, services, facilities and food and beverages
may change. Most inclusive packages restrict drinking times, meal and snack times, room service and bottled water
and may exclude stocked miniatures. Please check with reservations for the most up-to-date information.
SPECIAL REQUESTS
If you have any special requests (such as vegetarian meals, airline seats, specific floors in a hotel) you must advise
Mosaic Holidays of these at the time of booking. We shall do our best to advise the relevant suppliers, but we cannot
guarantee that they will be provided. Any failure to meet special requests will not be deemed a breach of contract
on our part. We regret we cannot accept any booking which is conditional upon fulfilment of a particular request.
TICKETS & TIMES
Having received your full payment you will be sent your tickets and other documentation approximately two weeks prior
to departure and a charge may be levied. However in the case of payment and/or late bookings, tickets may be handed
over at the airport on departure and TOD charges may apply. Check the flight times carefully as they may have been
adjusted since your confirmation invoice was issued. Your itinerary will be sent with your tickets. Please note once issued,
tickets are non-transferable, non-changeable and non-refundable, therefore please check all details on the tickets are
correct, including names and initials. Please check all your documentation carefully and check tickets, as they must be
exactly as the name appears on the passport. Replacement tickets may incur charges. Should tickets be lost, replacement
tickets may incur charges. Scheduled carriers may request new tickets to be purchased and indemnity forms filled out,
which may be refunded 6 months to one year after the departure date.
UNUSED SERVICES
Kindly note that refunds are not available for services and accommodation provided but not utilised.
VISAS & PASSPORTS
Visa information in this brochure is provided for British passport holders who are citizens of the United Kingdom,
and is a guide only. Requirements and regulations are subject to change at short notice. Please check with the
relevant embassy or consulate for the most up to date information. Non-UK passport holders should contact
the relevant embassy or consulate for visa details. Invalid travel documents may result in the curtailment or
termination or arrangements. Mosaic Holidays cannot accept liability in these circumstances. All children and
infants travelling must be in possession of their own passport.
DATA PROTECTION
In order to process your booking and to ensure that your travel arrangements run smoothly and meet your
requirements we and your travel agent need to use the information you provide such as name, address, any
special needs/dietary requirements etc. We take full responsibility for ensuring that proper security measures
are in place to protect your information. We must pass the information on to relevant suppliers of your travel
arrangements such as airlines, hotels, insurers, transport companies, public authorities such as customs/
immigration if required by them or as requited by law. Additionally, where your holiday is outside the European
Economic Area (EEA), controls on data protection in your destination may not be as strong as the legal
requirements in this country. We will not, however, pass any information onto any person not responsible for
part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give us such as details of any
disabilities, or dietary/religious requirements (If we cannot pass this to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA
or not, we cannot provide your booking. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed
on to the relevant persons/bodies). Where information is also held by your travel agent, this is subject to your
agent’s own data protection policy. You are entitled to a copy of your information held by us. If you would like
to see this please contact us. We may make a small charge for providing this to you.
BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS
Terms & conditions apply to all holidays. For a copy, contact our reservations or visit: www.mosaicholidays.co.uk
IMPORTANT PRICING INFORMATION
Prices are per person in pounds sterling and are based on flights from the airport stated on the relevant price
panel, with two adult sharing a standard room on board basis, as indicated in the relevant price panel. For other
room types supplements apply. Child price is based on first child, 11 years of age or under at the return date
of travel (unless otherwise stated on the price panel), and sharing the same room with two adults on the same
board basis. Supplements are per person per night (unless otherwise stated). Extra nights are based on nights
of occupancy, not departure. Prices are for guidance only and may vary up or down from those listed. The price
quoted to you at the time of booking and confirmed in writing will be the guaranteed price, except for any
subsequent fuel surcharges or taxes passed on by the airline, hotel or government body.
MINIMUM NUMBERS
Tours and excursions listed in our brochure are subject to minimum numbers, and may be cancelled
in the event that this is not met. You will then have the choice of booking an alternative holiday or
brochured excursion with us, if the alternative is at additional cost the difference will be payable by
you, or have a refund of monies paid. See conditions 3 & 4 of Booking Conditions.
OVERSEAS STANDARDS
Many of our destinations are developing nations, in terms of their tourism industry, economically and
the general infrastructure of the country. Facilities such as hotels, restaurants and transport may not be
up to the standard that you have come to expect in other, more developed parts of the world. While
we endeavour to provide you with all of the facilities required to enjoy your holiday to the fullest, we
cannot be held responsible for elements and situations that are beyond our control. This can range
from power shortages to badly constructed roads. When embraced, these can add to the attraction
of the destination and to the adventure of travel.
PREGNANCY
Airline regulations do vary, but many airlines will refuse permission to fly women who will be 28 weeks or more
in to their pregnancy on the date of their return travel, unless you have a note from your doctor then you may
fly up to 36 weeks into pregnancy. If in doubt, check with the airline concerned, and in any event do obtain
clearance to fly from your doctor. Failure of compliance of regulation may result in cancellation and denial of
boarding the aircraft. In such an event we cannot be held liable.
RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS & RELIGIOUS PRACTICES
Please note that services may be curtailed or limited during public holidays, and that during certain religious holidays
can be called at little or no prior notice. Please note that in Muslim counties prayer calls are normal and maybe audible,
5 times a day essentially at dawn and night. These and other religious rites are naturally outside our purview or control.
LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES
Since we specialise in individual and not group travel, we do not have UK representatives in each
resort. However, we work closely with a number of local agents who can provide further assistance.
Alternatively, you will find that your hotel reception will be able to help you with any local enquiries
and make bookings for excursions and restaurants. In the unlikely event of any difficulty, please ask
your hotel to ring us immediately, so that we can try and resolve it at the time.
RESORT DEVELOPMENT
Numerous hotels and resorts are continuing to develop rapidly, many with little or no advance warning. We have no
control over building work arising from a resort’s growth and we are unable to anticipate the speed or extent which
such development may occur. If we learn of specific developments at or close to your accommodation and likely to
affect the enjoyment of your holiday, we will do our best to contact you before departure. If this should interfere
with the enjoyment of your holiday in resort you should contact our agents, who will try to solve the problem.
SPECIAL NEEDS
We appreciate that clients with special needs have specific requirements that must be met to ensure
a successful holiday. Please ask for our Special Needs form before making your booking, in order
that we can assess your personal requirements. We will do our best to find a holiday to suit you, but we
may not be able to meet your specific requirements.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
YOUR COMMITMENT TO MOSAIC HOLIDAYS MOSAIC HOLIDAYS COMMITMENT TO YOU
1. YOUR HOLIDAY CONTRACT
When you ask us, or your travel agent to book your holiday, you must accept and confirm that you have read our booking conditions, important
information and our description of your holiday. If we are able to offer the holiday you request, we will advise you of the up to date price and
once confirmed, a contract will exist. For package holidays, you contract will be with ourselves, Mosaic Holidays Ltd but if you choose to purchase
a single element, such as a flight or accommodation on its own, we will be acting simply as an agent of the supplier and your contract will be
with them. In that case, clauses 7 and 8 of our ‘Commitment To You’ will not apply and you can ask to see the specific terms of business of the
supplier themselves. In this case our only obligation is to take reasonable care in making the reservations as requested by you. All contracts are
subject to the law of England and Wales and you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland
or Northern Ireland you may choose to submit to those jurisdictions instead.
2. PAYMENT FOR THE HOLIDAY
When you book you are required to pay a deposit of £150 per person (maybe higher at peak periods, or if an element of your holiday is nonchangeable and non-transferable. You will be advised at time of booking) and the correct insurance premium (please see note under cancellation
charges). You are not required to make any further payments until 10 weeks before departure. At 10 weeks before departure you are required to
pay the balance due in full. For holidays to be taken within 10 weeks of booking, the full amount is due, not a deposit. If you do not pay the full
amount due, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled. There is no contract between us until a written confirmation has been sent to
you. All monies paid directly to Mosaic Holidays can be authorised to us immediately by giving details of a valid card or subsequently by cheque,
which will have to be cleared before confirmation can be issued. The receipt of this amount will be deemed as your acceptance of the booking
conditions, and after the payment has been made and cleared, a written confirmation containing the details of your holiday will be issued. There
is no contract between us until payment has been made and a written confirmation issued, except for late bookings when a contract will exist
when you ask for the holiday to be confirmed. You must check your confirmation carefully as soon as you receive it. For all payments made directly
with us with a credit card, a percentage fee is levied on total charges which will be confirmed at the time of booking.
3. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING
If you want to change any details of your booking (e.g. transfer to a different comparable Mosaic Holidays’ holiday, which must be taken within
a reasonable time, departure date, airport, change or cancel a pre-departure special offer or excursion), we will do our best to effect this change.
For this service, we charge an Amendment Fee of £100 per person plus any non-refundable costs arising from the contract terms of our suppliers.
However, if the change occurs within 70 days of the departure, the cancellation charges shown in paragraph 4 will apply. When the price varies
depending on the number of persons booked into the accommodation and you wish to change the number of persons, the price will be recharged
on the basis of the new party size as shown in the price panel. Any increase in price per person payable as a result of a part cancellation is not
a Cancellation Charge. A separate Cancellation Charge will be levied in respect of bookings cancelled in accordance with paragraph 4. A new
confirmation invoice will be issued as appropriate, on which the Cancellation Charges will be shown.
4. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY
Once your holiday has been confirmed, you or any member of your party may cancel all or part of your booking. However, the cancellation will
only be valid if all details are confirmed in writing and signed by the person who made the booking. Your written instructions should either
go to the travel agent you booked with, asking him to notify us immediately, or, if you booked direct, to Mosaic Holidays. We will charge you
a cancellation fee on the scales shown below. This is to compensate us for the expense of processing your booking and for the risk that we
may not be able to resell the holiday. The amount payable (by whoever confirmed the booking) depends on when we received your written
instructions. The more notice given the smaller the charge. If the reason for cancellation is covered by your insurance policy, you should be able
to make a claim.
Period before scheduled departure within which written instructions are received by Mosaic Holidays: Amount of cancellation charge (shown as a % of total
holiday price, excluding insurance premium):
Deposit
30%, or deposit if greater
70%, or deposit if greater
90%
100%
More than 70 days 43-70 days 20-42 days 10-19 days 0-9 In certain cases, the carrier or hotelier may apply a higher cancellation charge or charge the appropriate single supplement, which we reserve the
right to pass on. Please enquire at the time of cancellation.
5. TRANSFER OF BOOKING
If any member of your party is unable to travel as a result of injury, death or sickness of the passenger, close relative or friend, jury service or
redundancy, you may transfer the booking to another suitable person, providing that notices is given in writing at least 35 days before departure
and providing that the alternative passenger is acceptable to Mosaic Holidays. An administrative charge of £100 will be levied, plus any nonrefundable costs arising from the contract terms of our suppliers. It should also be noted that many scheduled airlines will treat such transfers
as cancellations and, as such, rebooking will depend on space availability in the designated class of travel at the time of the proposed transfer.
6. INSURANCE
Under the terms of this contract you are required to have suitable travel insurance for your holiday and you must advise us of the details of your
alternative policy including the name of the insurer and the policy number as soon as possible. The cost of medical treatment and repatriation in
the event of serious accident or illness must be included. Clients in breach of this fundamental condition will be deemed to have indemnified the
company for any consequential loss incurred by the company on their behalf and will be recoverable from you.
7. IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT
Should you have a complaint about any part of your holiday, you must immediately inform our agent/representative and the supplier e.g. the
hotel outlining the nature of the complaint. Issues can most easily be dealt with as they arise, at your resort, when our agent/representative can
see and understand the exact nature of any problems you have. In the unlikely event that matters cannot be resolved to your satisfaction in the
resort, details of the complaint should be notified in writing to our office (quoting the number(s) of your Booking Reference(s) and your departure
date) within 35 days of returning from the resort. Failure to comply with this instruction will jeopardise your complaint.
8. HOLIDAY PARTICIPATION
We reserve the right to decline to accept or retain any person as a client at any time, and we shall be under no liability for any extra costs
incurred by such a person as a result of our doing so. Furthermore, in our absolute discretion we reserve the right to terminate without notice the
holiday arrangements of any client whose behaviour is such that it is likely in our opinion to cause distress, damage, danger or annoyance to our
customers, employees, agent’s property or third party. If you are prevented from travelling because, in the opinion of a person in authority, you
appear to be unfit to travel or cause distress or discomfort to other passengers, then our responsibility for your holiday ceases. Full cancellation
charges will apply. Mosaic Holidays has no control over the behaviour of other people visiting or staying in your resort accommodation.
9. YOUR ACCOMMODATION
Only the passengers shown on our Final Invoice have the right to use the accommodation provided. It is prohibited to assign, share or sublet
the accommodation to any other persons.
10. YOUR TICKET’S CONDITIONS
When you travel with an air or sea carrier, you accept that their Conditions of Carriage apply, some of which limit or exclude liability. These
conditions are often the subject of international agreements between countries such as the Warsaw Convention of 1929 as amended and the
Montreal Convention 1995 as amended Regulation EU261/2004; If your flight is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation.
Reimbursement in certain cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from
us. If your airline does not comply with these rules, you should complain to the Civil Aviation Authority via their website caa.co.uk. It is your
responsibility to acquire the required travel and health documents for your destination (e.g. visas, passports and vaccination certificates). Mosaic
Holidays cannot be held liable in any way for any failure to do so. If an element of your holiday is a schedules airfare, please note that the
tickets are printed within a set period prior to the date of departure. Once such tickets are printed, the tickets have no refund value whatsoever.
Additionally, the airline may refuse to issue replacement tickets and new additional tickets may have to be purchased by you.
1. PROVISION OF YOUR HOLIDAY
We will arrange for the provision of the services to you which form part of the holiday as confirmed to you. We cannot accept responsibility for
verbal price quotes or description. These services will be supplied either by independently contracted suppliers or by ourselves. We allocate your
chosen holiday to you when you or your travel agent asks for your holiday to be confirmed. All holidays advertised are subject to availability.
2. PRICING POLICY
The prices quoted in this brochure are per person and based on 2 adults sharing a twin room/double room and are for guidance only. Mosaic
Holidays has the right to increase or reduce prices at any time. Verbally quoted prices are treated as provisional. However, once the price is
confirmed in writing on the confirmation invoice and the deposit paid, it is guaranteed and subject only to additional fuel surcharges passed on
by the airline. Price is guaranteed and only subject to fuel surcharges after booking if levied more than 30 days before travel. Even in that case,
we will absorb an amount equal to 2% of the holiday price and only pass on any higher sum. If the increase is more than 10% of the original
price, you may cancel within 7 days of notification and receive a full refund.
3. IF WE MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR HOLIDAY
It is highly unlikely that we will have to make changes to your holiday. However, as arrangements are made many months in advance, sometimes
this is unavoidable and we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most changes are minor. If changes have to be made which are of a significant
nature, we will inform you or your travel agent when you make the booking. If the booking has already been made, we will inform you as soon
as is reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. If there is a major change, we will inform you, or your travel agent, as soon as is
reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. A major change is one that we make to your holiday arrangements before departure,
that involves changing your time of departure or return by more than twelve hours, UK airport(s) (although please note a change from Gatwick
to Heathrow or Stansted or vice versa is not classified as a ‘major change’), resort area or offering accommodation of a lower category. You
then have the choice of either:
A. accepting the changed arrangements as notified to you; B. purchasing another comparable available holiday from us; or C. cancelling your
holiday. If you choose A or B, we will pay you compensation on the scale shown below. If you choose C, we will refund you all money you have
paid to us plus at least compensation on the scale shown in the table below.

Important Note
Compensation payments do not apply to changes caused by any force majeure, health risks, reason of war or threat of war, riots, civil strife,
terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, technical problems to transport, closure or congestion of airports or ports,
cancellations or changes of schedules by airlines and similar events beyond our control.
4. IF WE CANCEL YOUR HOLIDAY
We reserve the right to cancel your holiday in any circumstance. Should this happen, we will offer you an alternative available holiday,
of a comparable standard, for you to purchase or refund to you all money paid to us. Please note that it is advisable to leave UK
departure point travel arrangements until your final travel documents are received. Your holiday should not be cancelled less than
10 weeks before the scheduled departure date, except for reasons of war, etc (see important note above). Please note that all Group Tours
operated by Mosaic Holidays can only operate on a ‘minimum number’ basis. If the minimum number is not achieved, we shall inform you not
later than 10 weeks prior to the date of departure. In the event that minimum numbers are not achieved, we reserve the right to cancel your
Group Holiday providing we notify you 10 weeks prior to departure (no notification will be given for excursions). The provisions in clause 4 will
then apply. No compensation will be payable if the cancellation is more than 10 weeks before departure, nor for consequential losses.
5. WHAT HAPPENS TO COMPLAINTS
We aim to resolve complaints on the spot while you are on holiday. If we can’t, you may choose to use the low cost arbitration scheme offered
by ABTA. Details of how to do so are available from ABTA at 30 Park Street London SE1 9EQ.
6. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR HOLIDAY
We accept responsibility for ensuring that all component parts of your holiday (which are pre-booked and pre-paid in the U.K.) are supplied to
you as confirmed by us on your confirmation invoice, and services offered reach a reasonable standard. If any significant part is not supplied, we
will pay you a suitable compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your holiday (see clause 3 above). Our limit in this case is twice the
price of your holiday. We have taken all reasonable and proper steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for all our holidays and
that the suppliers of the various services provided to you as part of your holiday are efficient, safe and reputable and comply with the local and
national laws and regulations of the country in which they provide those services. However, we do not have direct control over the provision of
services to clients by suppliers, and we cannot be held responsible or liable for death, injury or illness caused to clients, unless through negligence
of our employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers and their staff whilst acting within the scope of their employment. If the claim relates
to travel by air or sea our liability will be limited by relevant International Conventions in respect of both liability and value. Responsibility in
respect of air and cruise carriers are at all times subject to their Conditions of Carriage (see point 10 above). You must contact us immediately
if you believe you may have a claim and assist us in any action we seek to take against a supplier or other person. Otherwise our liability to
you for any loss or damage which you may suffer, is limited to twice the price of your holiday. Note: We are not liable for information found on
other than our own website/brochure nor for the standards of properties not listed in our system. Due to our commitment to staff training, we
sometimes record telephone conversations.
7. PERSONAL INJURY (UNCONNECTED WITH ARRANGEMENTS MADE BY US)
Although we cannot accept responsibility for clients who, by misadventure, suffer illness, personal injury or death during the period of their holiday
arising out of an activity which does not form part of the foreign inclusive holiday or excursions booked through the company, general assistance will
be offered to clients at our discretion to a maximum of £5,000 per booking. In addition, should there be a successful claim for costs against a third party
or there being suitable insurance policy/ies in force, costs actually incurred by the tour operator shall be recoverable from the clients. You must make
a claim under your insurance policy’s legal expenses claim and if you are successful, replay us any money we have spent on helping you.
8. LATE BOOKINGS
We recommend that you place your booking as early as possible, but understand that some clients may have no choice but to book late. More
often than not the Company can accept bookings up to a week before departure, when the full cost must be paid at the time of booking.
Payments must be made by credit card or debit card and we reserve the right to ask for a non refundable deposit. Clients making late bookings
should first check that they can comply with all Visa, passport and medical requirements. We reserve the right to pass on reasonable late booking
charges. In the case of late savers/special offers we reserve our right to utilise non-advertised properties.
9. ENFORCEMENT
If any part of these conditions is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms will still be valid.
10. VALIDITY
This version was produced in October 2014, and supersedes all previous editions. Travel documents will only be issued when full payment has
been received and cleared by Mosaic Holidays Ltd.
For further information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.com
YOUR FINANCIAL SECURITY
When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. We, or the suppliers identified on your
ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate, or a suitable alternative. In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought or a suitable
alternative, at no extra cost to you. You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in
some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme, or your credit card issuer where applicable. 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. All money accepted from you by a travel agent acting as our agent is held by that 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 pay it to us for
so long as we do not fail. If we do fail, any money held at that time by the agent, or subsequently accepted from you by the agent, is and continues to be held by that 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.
