HANDPICKED VILLAS, APARTMENTS & HOTELS IN CORSICA
2012 COLLECTION
L’EXTRÊME SUD
Bonifacio
Horseshoe bays of white sand and
crystal blue waters, sophisticated
resorts with a hint of Italian flair and
breathtaking harbour towns perched
precariously on white limestone;
L’Extrême Sud is a dreamer’s paradise
of sun and sea on the southern most
tip of Corsica.
A chic cosmopolitan resort, Porto Vecchio is one of
the most stylish and prestigious towns on the island.
Sculptured on a dramatic hilltop and backed by the
spearing needles of the Col de Bavella, this former
Genoese port has kept its Corsican charm over the
years. The ancient Citadel forms the heart of the old
town, surrounded by picturesque back streets filled
with designer boutiques and vibrant restaurant
terraces. Below the town, Porto Vecchio boasts one
of the most distinguished harbours in Europe, where
bobbing boats jockey from positions alongside sun
kissed holidaymakers promenading the marina or
sipping apéritifs in the shade of the pavement cafés.
From here the views of the entire Gulf are truly
awe-inspiring.
Above Porto Vecchio is the Massif de l’Ospédale, a
forested upland where you’ll find some of Corsica’s
most breathtaking mountain scenery. This is an ideal

picnic destination and perfect for those who enjoy
short hikes that culminate in the most rewarding
and spectacular views across the gulf.
The dazzling beaches around Porto Vecchio are
surrounded by wild perfumed maquis and fringed
by umbrella pines. Although busy in the height of
the summer season, you won’t be able to resist the
beaches of Palombaggia or Santa Giulia, which rank
amongst the most beautiful in Corsica.
Palombaggia is perhaps the most famous beach on the
island – and the most photographed. Internationally
renowned, the clear turquoise water and pure white
sand contrasts the fantastically shaped granite rocks.
A few kilometres down from Palombaggia lie the
sweeping bay and calm shallow waters of Santa Giulia
beach. Popular with watersports enthusiasts, here
you’ll find facilities for a number of water-based activities,
along with a selection of cafés and beach bars.
honeycombed with old watery grottoes. Established
in 833, the old town is rich in history with its dramatic
Citadel, ramparts and maze of narrow cobbled streets.
The newer harbour has a more Italian flair with an
abundance of cafés and restaurants dotted along the
Quai Comparetti – the perfect spot to watch the yachts
set sail. The most amazing view of the town and port
can be seen from the sea, and throughout the day a
flotilla of excursion boats can be seen heading out to
the best vantage points, including the Lavezzi islands;
a marine reserve and popular diving spot.
At Corsica’s southernmost point and just a short hop
from Sardinia, the fortress town of Bonifacio sits in an
isolated location perched high on a limestone plateau.
Mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey, the precipitous white
cliffs overhang the turquoise waters below and are

• A traditional Corsican villa • Fantastic pool • Spacious accommodation
Casa Monica is a traditional 3 bedroom villa with private pool and a delightful
location. With far-reaching views across the maquis-covered hinterland to the sea
beyond, the property is peacefully situated just outside Porto Vecchio, between
the mountains of Ospédale and the fine beaches of San Ciprianu and Cala Rossa.
The villa is spacious and well equipped with a largely traditional décor featuring
terracotta tile floors, local wooden furniture and many personal touches.
Arranged on two floors, most rooms occupy the ground level, whilst the large
master bedroom sits on the upper storey enjoying its own private balcony.
The real focal point of Casa Monica is its outdoor area: it incorporates an inviting
infinity pool encircled by timber decking and ample sun loungers, a shaded pergola
and a built-in barbecue. It is the perfect setting to enjoy the Corsican way of life
which essentially involves relaxing in the sun, al fresco dining and not to forget
those longed-for apéritifs… For those who wish to venture out, the verdant forest
of Ospédale is a 20km drive away with ample walks and a range of activities for all
ages. Casa Monica is the perfect pick for a traditional summer holiday in southern
Corsica and suited for couples and families alike.

hop from some of the best beaches on the island. Recently voted one of Europe’s
top 20 beaches in the Times and the Sunday Times, Palombaggia beach is only 2km

granite rocks and beautiful translucent water. The résidence itself is tucked away

Palombaggia that sell fresh fruit and vegetables and for a wider range of amenities,
Porto Vecchio is only a 20-minute drive away. For those looking to explore the area

• An idyllic retreat • Beautifully tended gardens • Fantastic food
A warm welcome awaits you at Hotel San Giovanni from the owners, Patricia Vidoni
and her family. Standing in 12 acres of grounds, the hotel is surrounded by mature
gardens, lovingly tended and carefully landscaped with an abundance of flowers and
flourishing shrubs. The rooms are simply furnished yet comfortable and each has its
own balcony or terrace where you can sit, enjoy the tranquillity of the surroundings
and drink in the luxuriant view. The pool area and tennis courts are positioned in
the extensive grounds, well away from the rooms ensuring San Giovanni’s serene
atmosphere. If you are a food lover, you will undoubtedly relish the hotel’s home
made cooking using local herbs and produce – giving you a true flavour of authentic
Corsican fare. The hotel is less than 10 minutes drive from the centre of Porto
Vecchio and, for those who want to laze by the sea, some of the finest beaches
can be found just 15 minutes drive away, including the renowned Santa Giulia and
Palombaggia beaches. An excellent standard for a two star hotel offering beautiful

DATA PROTECTION When you make an enquiry or booking
with us, information about you is collected. This refers to information
such as your name, contact details, travel preferences and any special
needs/disabilities or dietary requirements. By giving us these details,
you consent for these to be used as necessary in processing your
booking and complying with legal requirements (e.g. forwarding

We may also use your details to send you future holiday brochures
or advise of special offers from ourselves – should you NOT want

considered “sensitive personal data” under the Data Protection
Act 1998, which will only be used when it is necessary for us to
communicate your needs to a hotel or airline. For more information
– please refer to our ‘Privacy Statement’ shown on our website
www.corsica.co.uk
We sell the following arrangements:
Package Holiday
A “package holiday” is a combination of at least two of the following
services (a) transport, (b) accommodation or (c) other tourist services
(not ancillary to any transport or accommodation and forming a significant
part of the arrangements) where booked through us at an inclusive price.
If you book a package holiday through us, it will be protected under
the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations
1992. These regulations require us to provide security for the monies
that you pay for the package holidays booked from this brochure. We
provide this security by way of an ATOL (number 2647) administered
by the Civil Aviation Authority and a bond held by AITO.
When you buy an ATOL protected air holiday package (Corsican
Places Ltd) you will receive a Confirmation Invoice from us (or
via your travel agent through which you booked) confirming your
arrangements and your protection under our Air Travel Organiser’s
Licence number [2647]. 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 an advance booking.
For further information visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk.
The price of our air holiday packages includes the ATOL Protection
Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA. This charge is included in
our advertised prices.
Accommodation or Flight only
If you book accommodation or flight only through us, we will accept
responsibility for your booking in accordance with the terms set out in the
relevant sections below. As this is a single component, the Package Travel,
Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 do not apply.
1. YOUR HOLIDAY BOOKING When making a booking you must
be aged over 18 years and have the authority to accept and do accept
on behalf of your party the terms of these booking conditions. All
correspondence and documents are sent to the party leader who
is responsible to us for all payments in respect of the booking. The
contract is made on the terms of the information in this brochure,
the details set out in the confirmation invoice. We agree that the
courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction and English Law applies
(unless you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in which case you
can bring proceedings in your local court under Scottish or Northern
Irish law, as applicable). Our confirmation invoice is our acceptance
of the booking (as detailed therein), and the contract is made on its
issue. We ask you to check the details and any anomaly should be
reported to us or your travel agent immediately otherwise the details
shown on the confirmation will be presumed to be correct. Certain
components of a package are on request and subject to availability and
144
therefore quotations should not be considered binding until the first
confirmation invoice is received. All holidays and offers published in
this brochure are subject to availability at the time of booking.
2. PAYMENT If you wish to confirm a booking you must pay the
deposit of 20% of the balance of your holiday. Your final payment
will be detailed on your invoice and must be paid in full no later than
8 weeks before your departure, or your booking may be deemed
cancelled and your deposits retained. In the event we need to book
and pay for your flight at the time of booking, you will be quoted the
cost of this before confirming your holiday and asked to pay for this
sector in full, along with your deposit. It is at this time you will be
advised whether the flight cost is non-refundable. If payment for your
holiday is made by credit card a handling fee, currently 2% will be
levied. Cheques should be made payable to Corsican Places Limited.
3. IF YOU WISH TO CANCEL YOUR BOOKING You will need to
let us know as soon as possible either by telephone or in writing (or
must ensure your travel agent does so on your behalf). Since we incur
costs from the time we confirm your booking, the cancellation charges
set out below will apply, calculated from the date on which we receive
your notice of cancellation. You will then receive a cancellation invoice
detailing any charges.
No. of days before departure
More than 56 days
55-43 days 42-29 days 28-15 days 14–0 days Cancellation charge
Loss of deposit
40%
65%
90%
100%
The charges above apply to your total holiday price excluding any
insurance premiums, amendment charges or charges for goods sold
and dispatched. Please note that charges may be higher than those
shown where your travel arrangements have been confirmed to you
as “non-refundable”. The conditions of your travel insurance policy
may allow a refund claim.
Note: if any members of your party cancel, but the others still wish to
travel, it may be necessary to re-calculate the cost per person based on
the new party size as the accommodation will now be under-occupied.
This may result in an increased amount per person payable to secure the
original booking.
4. ACCURACY AND INFORMATION We have taken all care to
ensure the information shown in this brochure is accurate. Incidental
information (e.g. relating to local events or markets etc) is offered in
good faith and we therefore ask that should this be important to you,
you check the details independently.
5. CHARGES FOR NON-INCLUSIVE HOTEL ITEMS
AND DAMAGES You enter into a separate contract with the hotel or
residence for these items (e.g. parking, bar bills etc.), and agree to pay
locally for any charges for items or services used by your party and not
included in your holiday price. The accommodation we arrange for
you can only be used by those people named on your Invoice. You
are not allowed to share the accommodation with anyone else or let
anyone else stay there.
6. IF YOU REQUEST A CHANGE TO YOUR BOOKING
All amendments to your booking, e.g. name changes, dates of travel
or accommodation, will incur a charge, the amount of which will
depend on the nature of the change and the time before the date of
travel. This is in addition to any carriers’ alteration or cancellation fees
as certain travel arrangements (e.g. the purchase of non-refundable
airline tickets) cannot be changed after a booking has been confirmed
and any request to do so is likely to incur a 100% cancellation charge.
Note: Any changes made within 8 weeks of departure may be treated
as cancellations and re-bookings.
7. IF YOU BOOK THROUGH A TRAVEL AGENT We will assume
that in dealing with us the agent is acting on your behalf. All monies
you pay to the Travel Agent are held by him on our behalf at all times.
8. IF WE CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY Although it is unlikely, we
may occasionally have to change your holiday arrangements and we
reserve the right to change or cancel your booking. Most changes
are minor and we will always endeavour to advise you or your travel
agent of any such changes at the earliest possible date.
Note: Any amendment or cancellation fees you incur in terms of other
arrangements you have made with other providers under separate
contracts are not claimable from us.
Package Holiday:
A change of airline, aircraft type, overseas airport of destination, travel
timings by 12 hours or less and accommodation of a similar or higher
standard in the same resort or region are classed as minor changes
St Florent
which do not entitle you to cancel or change to another holiday
without paying our normal administration charges, and for which no
compensation or refund is due.
In accordance with EU Regulation 2111/2005 we are required to advise
you of the actual carrier operating your flight/connecting flight/transfer.
We do this by listing carriers to be used or likely to be used as follows:
Titan Airways, British Midland International and Easyjet. Any changes
to the actual airline after you have received your tickets will be
notified to you as soon as possible and in all cases at check-in or at the
boarding gate. The carrier may occasionally have to change the type
of aircraft used on a particular flight without advance warning. In such
circumstances where you have booked and paid an additional seat
supplement and such seat cannot be provided, then you will receive
only a refund of the supplement paid.
Occasionally, we have to make major changes to your travel
arrangements or accommodation. A major change is a change made
before departure, which, on the basis of the information given to us
by you at the time of booking we can reasonably expect will have a
major effect on your holiday. The following changes are examples
of major changes: changing travel times by over 12 hours, your UK
departure airport (excluding London airports), your holiday region, a
change to a lower standard or type of accommodation or reducing
the number of days’ holiday.
If we have to make a major change or cancel your holiday we will
tell you as soon as possible. Where possible, we will offer the
following options: you can either a) accept the changed arrangements
b) purchase another holiday from us at the advertised current selling
price or c) cancel your booking upon which we will refund your
monies in full and final settlement. If you have booked a Package
Holiday, subject to the note below, irrespective of whether you
choose a), b) or c) we will pay compensation to passengers who
paid the full brochure price as follows:
No. of days before departure
More than 56 days
29-55 days 15-28 days 8-14 days Less than 7 days Amount for each
full fare paying adult
Nil
£15
£25
£35
£50
Accommodation only:
If we make a change to your accommodation and you don’t want to
accept it, you can take any alternative accommodation we are able
to offer you (you will pay the increase in cost if the replacement is
advertised at a higher price than your original booking, or receive
a refund of the difference if it is less expensive) or a refund of the
money you have paid to us. This does not apply where the change is
not material. Examples of non-material changes include, but are not
limited to, temporary withdrawal of facilities or seasonal unavailability
of amenities.
If we have to cancel your accommodation, again we may be able to
offer you an alternative. If you accept it, you would pay the difference
if it was advertised at a higher price than your original accommodation,
or receive a refund of the difference if it was advertised at a lower
price. Or we will refund the monies you have paid us for your
accommodation. We will not be responsible to pay any compensation
following a change or a cancellation by us.
Applicable to Package Holiday, Accommodation or
Flight only bookings:
Note: If a change or cancellation occurs because of circumstances
beyond our control, for example war, threat of war, riots,
civil disturbances, actual or threatened terrorist activity and its
consequences, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disasters,
fire, health risks, adverse weather conditions, hurricanes, floods,
unavoidable technical problems with transport, closure or congestion
FAIR TRADING
CHARTER
of airports or ports, epidemic or pandemic illness and all similar
situations we will have no liability to you. No compensation payments,
expenses or any other sums, including the cost of securing alternative
accommodation will be paid by us.
9. IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT In the unlikely event you have
cause for complaint whilst abroad, about the accommodation or about
any other element of your holiday, you must refer it immediately
to the hotel or site management and our local representative. It is
unreasonable for you to take little or no action whilst on holiday and
wait until you return to complain, and you must take reasonable steps
to minimise the consequences of the problem. If you fail to follow this
simple procedure we will have been deprived of the opportunity to
investigate and rectify your complaint whilst you were in resort and
this may affect your rights under this contract. If a problem cannot
be resolved locally you should complete and sign a Guest Comment
form in resort, setting out the details of the problem. This should be
handed to your representative who will give you a copy; it is essential
that you also report the problem to any supplier of the service you
are complaining about. Any complaint must also be followed by
written confirmation of all the details, with any supporting evidence,
within 28 days of your return from holiday.
10. OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Package Holiday and Flight Only:
If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly
performed by us or our suppliers we will pay you appropriate
compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your travel
arrangements. However, we will not be liable where any failure
in the performance of the contract is due to: you; or a third party
unconnected with the provision of the travel arrangements and
where the failure is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or unusual and
unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences
of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been
exercised; or an event which we or our suppliers, even with all due
care, could not foresee or forestall.
Our liability, except in cases involving death, injury or illness,
shall be limited to a maximum of [3] times the cost of your travel
arrangements. Our liability will also be limited in accordance with and/
or in an identical manner to:
(a) The contractual terms of the companies that provide the
transportation for your travel arrangements. These terms are
incorporated into this contract; and
(b) Any relevant international convention, for example the Montreal
Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in
respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel
by rail and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of
accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you
can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and
delay to luggage. We are to be regarded as having all benefit of any
limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions.
You can ask for copies of the transport companies’ contractual terms,
or the international conventions, from our offices: Corsican Places
Ltd, Atlantic House, 3600 Parkway, Solent Business Park, Fareham,
Hampshire PO15 7AN.
We do not accept liability for happenings or actions outside our
control, e.g. delays to travel services, the temporary invasion of pests,
the presence of indigenous animals or insects, government action,
industrial disputes, damage or inconvenience resulting from the
weather (e.g. drought conditions) or from acts of God, or your party’s
negligence resulting in loss or accident.
If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly
performed as a result of failures attributable to a third party
unconnected with the provision of the services, or as a result of
failures due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our
control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided
even if all due care had been exercised, or an event which we or
our suppliers, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall,
and you suffer an injury or other material loss, we will offer you
such prompt assistance as is reasonable in the circumstances. If you
have taken our recommended insurance cover, you must make an
insurance claim in respect of any legal fees incurred abroad for that
purpose, and if you have taken alternative insurance, you must do
likewise under any Legal Expenses cover provided by it. You must
also provide us with the confirmation from the Insurance company
of receipt of your notification to them of your claim.
Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay
for whilst you are on holiday are not part of your package holiday
provided by us. For any excursion or other tour that you book, your
contract will be with the operator of the excursion or tour and not
with us. We are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or
tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision
by the operator.
Accommodation only:
We have a duty to select the accommodation providers with
reasonable skill and care. We have no liability to you for the actual
provision of the accommodation, except in cases where it is proved
that we have breached that duty and damage to you has been caused.
Therefore, providing we have selected the provider with reasonable
care and skill, we will have no liability to you for anything that happens
at the accommodation or any acts or omissions of the provider or
others. We also have no liability in the following situations:
i. where the accommodation cannot be provided as booked due
to circumstances beyond our control (see the Note in clause 8)
ii. where you incur any loss or damage that could not have been foreseen at the time of your booking, based on the information provided by you.
iii. where you incur any loss or damage that relates to any business activity.
iv. where any loss or damage relates to any services which do not form part of our contract with you.
Occasionally there are times beyond our control when a flight is
delayed. We will work closely with the airline and our resort office
to make sure any delay is as short as possible and that your overseas
transfer and accommodation arrangements are changed if necessary.
Our aim is to minimise the inconvenience of delays as far as possible.
Under EU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds
and/or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding,
cancellation or delays to flights. Full details of these rights will be
publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. Please
note that reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the
airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday
cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is
set out in clause 8 ‘if we change your holiday’. If your airline does not
comply with these rules you should complain to the Air Transport
Users’ Council – www.auc.org.uk In March 2006 the European
Commission published a list of airlines considered to be unsafe and
which are therefore not permitted to fly passengers or Cargo in
the EU or operate within the European airspace.
If we are found liable to you on any basis, we limit the amount
we have to pay you to a maximum of three times the cost of your
accommodation. This limit does not apply to cases involving death
or injury.
This list is updated every three months and can be viewed by
clicking on the website for the European Commission
http://europa.eu/transport/air-ban/list_en.htm
11. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY You undertake to exercise due and
reasonable care in respect of your holiday accommodation and its
contents, to leave it in a clean and complete condition, to respect local
and on-site regulations and bye-laws, to limit party numbers to those
on your confirmation, to remit payments as invoiced on or before the
due dates, to indemnify us against all loss or damage arising directly or
indirectly from any act, default or omission of your party, and not to
exceed the published occupation capacity of the accommodation. Any
serious abuse of a property or its contents may render you liable to
eviction without compensation.
12. PRICES AND SURCHARGES The price of your holiday was
calculated using the exchange rate of £1 = 1.15 Euros on the
1st September 2011. We reserve the right to increase or reduce
prices, and the current price of your holiday will be advised to you
at the time of booking. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the
accuracy of all the information and prices provided to you, regrettably
errors do occasionally occur. In the event that an incorrect price has
been given in error, any booking made based on this price, will not
be valid. You will be advised of the mistake at the earliest opportunity
and you will then have the option either to pay the correct price for
the travel arrangements or to cancel and receive a full refund of any
monies you may already have paid. Once you have booked your
holiday we reserve the right to surcharge for cost increases due to
government action such as changes in VAT or any other government
imposed charges, transportation costs (including the cost of fuel), taxes
or fees chargeable for services such as landing taxes, embarkation or
disembarkation fees at airports, and exchange rates.
Package Holidays
There will be no charge within 30 days of your departure. We will
absorb such increases up to 2% of your basic holiday price (excluding
insurance premiums and any amendment charges). If the surcharge
is greater than 10% of your holiday price you have the option of
changing to another holiday that we offer (if we are able to offer an
alternative you will not have to pay more, but if it is of a lower quality
you will be refunded the difference in price) or you have the right to
cancel (within 14 days of receiving surcharge notification), in which
case we will refund in full all monies paid to us except insurance
premiums and any amendment charges. Should the price of your
holiday go down due to the changes mentioned above, by more
than 2% of your holiday cost, then any refund due will be paid to
you. However, please note that travel arrangements are not always
purchased in local currency and some apparent changes will have
no impact on the price of your holiday due to contractual and other
protection in place.
Accommodation and Flight only
We reserve the right to pass on all increases. If we ask you to pay us
any increases in taxes, similarly, if any taxes you have paid to us are
reduced or abolished, you will be entitled to claim a refund. Such right
shall not apply in respect of any surcharge paid in respect of aviation
fuel costs.
13. TRAVEL SERVICES When you travel by air the relevant carrier’s
‘Conditions of Carriage’ will apply to your journey, some of which
may limit liability or exclude liability in accordance with the relevant
international conventions. Copies of the conditions are available for
inspection at any ABTA travel agent. Information given by us about
such services is for guidance only and the carriers concerned accept
no responsibility for our brochures. It is your responsibility to report
promptly at the check-in times given by the carriers and with the
appropriate valid travel documents (e.g. Passports), and we cannot be
held responsible for any costs incurred by you if you fail to do so.
Alternatively, should you wish to be sent a copy of the list,
please contact us either by telephone or in writing.
14. TRAVEL INSURANCE You agree to our requirement: at the time
of booking your holiday you either accept our travel insurance or you
or your travel agent make immediate alternative arrangements with
cover at least equal to our own policy.
15. PHOTOGRAPHS General and unlabelled pictures are understood
to illustrate a feature, the region, or the country, and not to have any
specific connection with any accommodation shown on the same or
other pages. Rooms shown in the photographs are not necessarily
the hotel’s standard rooms.
16. YOUR HEALTH ABROAD EU Visitors to other EU countries
are entitled to receive medical treatment under the State Service
providing they have a European Health Insurance Card (please be
aware that this card may not cover all the costs involved). At the
time of publication, there are no special health precautions
recommended but for up to date information you should contact
the Department of Health. We strongly recommend you take out
personal travel insurance with adequate health cover to ensure you
are fully protected should you become ill.
17. SWIMMING POOLS AND OTHER FACILITIES Where a
swimming pool or other facility is referred to as being available for
use, such availability is at the hotelier’s discretion and is understood to
be conditional upon temporary or unavoidable closure necessitated
by: the hotels essential maintenance programme, accident, damage
or malfunction of equipment, and in the case of swimming pools:
compliance with any water conservation regulations imposed in times
of drought, damage or malfunction of the mains water supply.
18. ARBITRATION In the unlikely event that a complaint cannot be
settled amicably between us, you may if you wish refer the matter
to arbitration under a special scheme, which, though devised by
arrangement with ABTA is administered quite independently (details
on request). This is a simple method of arbitration on documents
alone with restricted cost liability to the customer. The rules of the
scheme provide that the application for arbitration must be made
within eighteen months of the date of return from the holiday but in
special circumstances it may still be offered outside of this period. The
scheme does not apply to claims over £5,000 per person or £25,000
per booking, nor to claims mainly or solely in respect of injury or
illness or their consequences. Alternatively, AITO’s Independent
Dispute Settlement Service may be called upon by either side to bring
the matter to a speedy and amicable solution.
19. PASSPORT/VISA It is the responsibility of all customers to
ensure they have a valid passport, and any required visa. For further
information on passport and visa requirements, please contact the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office at www.fco.gov.uk
20. HOLIDAY PARTICIPATION Should anyone be refused
admission to the flight or to the destination country by the airline or
government authority due to the correct documentation not being in
order then we are powerless to assist and cannot be held responsible.
Any passengers considered being unacceptably under the influence of
alcohol or drugs may be denied boarding to the aircraft or entry into
the country. In these circumstances we shall consider the customer
as having given notice of cancellation and be under no liability for any
costs or charges incurred as a result of our doing so.

Exclusive membership
AITO sets criteria regarding ownership, finance
and quality which must be satisfied before new
companies are admitted to membership. All
members are required to adhere to a Code of
Business Practice which encourages high operational
standards and conduct.
Financial security
An AITO member is required to arrange financial
protection for all holidays and other arrangements
(including accommodation only) booked by
customers with the member under the AITO
logo. This financial protection applies to customers
who are resident in the UK at the time of booking
and to most overseas customers who have
booked directly with the member. In doing so,
the member must comply with UK government
regulations. Members are required to submit details
of their financial protection arrangements to AITO
on a regular basis
Accurate brochure & websites
All members do their utmost to ensure that all
their brochures and other publications, print or
electronic, clearly and accurately describe the
holidays and services offered.
Professional service & continual improvements
All members are committed to high standards of
service and believe in regular and thorough training
of employees. Members continually seek to review
and improve their holidays. They listen to their
customers and always welcome suggestions for
improving standards.
Monitoring standards
AITO endeavours to monitor quality standards
regularly. All customers should receive a postholiday questionnaire the results of which are
scrutinised by the Association.
Sustainable tourism
All members acknowledge the importance of
AITO’s Sustainable Tourism guidelines, which
recognise the social, economic and environmental
responsibilities of tour operating. Those
demonstrating their achievements beyond the pure
acceptance of this principle are recognised by the
award of 2 to 5 star status.
Customer relations
All members endeavour to deal swiftly and fairly
with any issues their customers may raise. In the
unlikely event that a dispute between an AITO
member and a customer cannot be settled amicably,
AITO’s low-cost Independent Dispute Settlement
Service may be called upon by either side to bring
the matter to a speedy and acceptable conclusion.
