remains unpaid after this date, we reserve the right to cancel your

a customer to a travel agent in respect of a booking with CTA Holidays is
held by the agent on behalf of CTA Holidays.

Bookings received
by us 8 weeks or less prior to departure
are deemed to be
late bookings. When you make a definite
booking through
your travel agent or by telephone directly to us, you must pay the total
cost of the booking at that time.
Should you
subsequently cancel the reservation made you will be subject to
cancellation charges detailed in “Cancellation by the Client”. A late
booking may be accepted by us either by
telephone or by
the issuance of a confirmation invoice.

CLIENT
CTA Holidays and
its agents will do their utmost , but cannot
guarantee to
comply with any request for alteration to a booking.

of £30 per person will be applied.

cancellation and will attract a minimum charge of £207 per person.

CANCELLATION OR
ALTERATION BY THE
COMPANY
The company
reserves the right to modify or cancel any holiday,
flight schedule,
accommodation or other arrangements,
in the event that
the holiday chosen by the customer cannot be provided for any reason. If
the circumstances referred to in the preceding paragraph occur before the
customer’s departure, the company undertakes to offer the customer
alternative arrangements, or, if this is not acceptable, a full refund of
all monies paid. We plan your holiday arrangements many months in advance
and although it is unlikely that we have to make any changes to confirmed
arrangements, it does occasionally happen. Most changes are of a minor
nature and we will advise you (or your travel agent) at the earliest
possible date. Should we have to cancel a tour, holiday or other travel
arrangements as a result of hostilities, political unrest, or other
circumstances amounting to force majeure, we shall inform you
or your travel
agent without delay and shall offer the choice
of an alternative
holiday of at least comparable standard, if
available, or a
prompt and full refund of all monies paid. Any
such refunds shall
be sent to agents within 10 clear days and
to direct clients
within 14 clear days. Should we be forced to cancel your holiday for any
reason other than force majeure or non payment of outstanding balance, the
company, in addition to refunding all monies paid, will pay compensation
as per the table in the following paragraph
IF WE CHANGE YOUR HOLIDAY
If a major change
becomes necessary, 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 airport(s) except Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, Gatwick, resort area or
time of departure or return by more than 12 hours, or offering
accommodation with a lower rating. You then have a choice of either:
A. Accepting the
changed arrangements as notified to you.
B. Purchasing
another available holiday from us.
C. Cancelling your holiday.
|
If you choose A or
B, we will pay compensation on the scale
shown below. If
you choose C, we will refund all money paid
to us plus
compensation on the scale shown below. However,
in no case will we
pay compensation if the change is due to an
event listed in
“Important Notice” below.

carriage of that carrier are incorporated into this
contract. You may
ask for copies of the relevant conditions of
carriage from our
offices.
COMPLAINTS
We or our local
agents have personally inspected all of the
properties
featured in our brochure and the information given
is supplied by
them and is believed to be correct at the time
of printing.
However, since this brochure is prepared many
months in advance
it is possible that some features may
change. Should you
have any cause for complaint, please bring
it to the
attention of the Hotel Manager or our representative
who will deal with
it on the spot. If the matter cannot
be resolved during
your stay, then please notify us in writing
within 30 days of
your return to the UK.
ARBITRATION
Disputes arising
out of, or in connection with, this contract
which cannot be
resolved amicably, may (if the customer so
wishes), be
referred to arbitration under a special scheme
which, though
devised by arrangements with the Association
of British Travel
Agents (ABTA), is administered quite independently
by the Chartered
Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme
provides for a
simple and inexpensive method of arbitration
of documents alone
with restricted liability on the customer
in respect of
costs. Should you elect to seek redress under this
scheme, written
notice requesting arbitration under the scheme
must be made
within 9 months after the scheduled date of
return from the holiday.

OUR GUARANTEE ON
PRICE / SURCHARGE
We guarantee that
the price of your holiday will not be subject
to surcharge
except for government action such as VAT,
currency and
increases in fuel. Even in these cases we will
absorb an amount
equivalent to 2% of the holiday price which
excludes insurance
premiums and any amendment charges.
Only amounts in
excess of this 2% will be surcharged but
where surcharge is
payable there will not be an administration
charge. If this
means paying more than 10% of your holiday
price, you will be
entitled to cancel your holiday with a full
refund of all
monies paid except for any premium paid to us
for holiday
insurance and amendment charges. Should you
decide to cancel
because of this you should exercise your right
to do so within 14
days from the date of the invoice. In return
no refund will be
granted should sterling gain in value against
the appropriate
currencies prior to your departure. All prices
quoted in the
supplemental price list published periodically are
based on fuel
costs and exchange rates on 04 January 2008 as
quoted 2,28 YTL.

and Turkey are
paid in sterling.
