11. Refund Policy
a. Customer-Initiated Cancellations
Most operators use a tiered schedule based on how far in advance the traveler cancels:
Common Structure
Notice Before Tour Typical Refund
60+ days Full or high refund (often minus admin fees, based on supplier policy)
30–59 days Partial refund (50–75%, based on supplier policy)
15–29 days Low refund (often 25–50%, based on supplier policy)
0–14 days Usually, non-refundable
Non-refundable deposits (often 10–30% of the package price) are standard.
b. Operator-Initiated Cancellations
When the tour operator cancels due to low enrollment, safety issues, or other operational problems:
Customer Is Usually Offered
• A full refund, or
• A credit / chance to rebook another date
Some policies exclude cancellations caused by:
• Natural disasters
• Political unrest
• Force majeure events
In those cases, credits rather than cash refunds may be offered.
c. Force Majeure Events
Typical force-majeure clauses include:
• Weather events
• Natural disasters
• Pandemics
• Government actions
• Strikes
Refund outcomes vary:
• Full refund if no services were delivered
• Partial refund if some prepaid services cannot be recovered
• Credit or rebooking is very common
d. Non-Refundable Components
Some portions of a tour cost cannot be refunded because the operator cannot recover them. These often include:
• Hotel prepayments
• Train or flight tickets
• Permits (e.g., national parks, trekking)
• Event tickets
• Third-party service fees
Operators usually disclose these clearly during booking.
e. No-Shows
Most policies state:
• No refund for a no-show
• Missed activities are not reimbursed
f. Travel Insurance
Tour operators often recommend or require insurance covering:
• Trip cancellation
• Medical issues
• Delays
• Lost baggage
• Emergency evacuation
This helps when customers want refunds for personal issues (illness, passport problems, etc.), which operators typically do not refund.
h. Custom / Private Tours
Refunds are usually stricter because arrangements are tailor-made.
Common practice:
• Larger non-refundable deposit (20–50%)
• Limited refunds once planning begins
• Vendor penalties passed to the customer
i. Administrative Fees
Even when eligible for a refund, customers may pay:
• Cancellation fees
• Transaction/processing fees
• Amendment fees for date changes
These are usually stated in the terms and conditions.
