It showcases every aspect of horticulture with exhibitors from all over the world contributing their displays and expertise. It has fi ve themed areas and each day includes a cultural programme of music, dance, literature, theatre and art.

Our tour to the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens takes us through fl at, fertile landscapes of tulip fi elds, church spires, medieval towns and windmills that give visitors the feeling of being in the middle of a Rembrandt or Vermeer painting.

BRUGES CHRISTMAS MARKETS

Whilst most squares are festively decorated, Bruges’ Market Square is a main focus of attention with its wonderful stalls and ice rink. Colourful lights illuminate festive stalls crammed with Christmas goodies and the city is host to the magical Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival, which is defi nitely worth a visit while enjoying your festive tour.

The Belgian capital, Brussels has the largest Christmas Market in Belgium, with over 240 stalls lining the streets of the Stock Market, Place St Catherine and Place du Marche aux Poissons, selling gastronomic specialities, handicrafts and unusual stocking fi llers

There can’t be many settings more beautiful at Christmas than medieval Bruges, with its cobbled streets, historic buildings and horses and carts plodding by.

We also have time to visit Ostend which is Belgium’s most popular seaside resort. With a very individual charm; characteristic sea front, marinas, parks, bustling markets and shops.

EUROPE

THURSO, CASTLE OF MEYAND THE ISLE OF ORKNEY

Located on the north coast of Caithness, Thurso is an excellent base for exploring the North Coast of Scotland, including the beautiful Orkney Isles.

Thurso, situated on the Pentland Firth in the beautiful sheltered Thurso Bay, is mainland Scotland’s most northerly town, and home to the country’s most northerly railway station.

We visit the enchanting Castle of Mey, the most northerly inhabited castle on the British mainland, which was used for almost half a century as the late Queen Mother’s Scottish holiday retreat. She created the beautiful gardens that are protected from the fi erce north winds by a high wall.

We also travel by ferry from John O’Groats to the main island of the Orkneys where we continue our journey by coach to explore some of its treasures such as the historic sites of Scapa Flow and the Italian Chapel, as well as the prehistoric sites at Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar and Kirkwall.

PITLOCHRY

Pitlochry’s beautiful Victorian buildings are set against a backdrop of forest covered hills and surrounded by lochs, castles, and a wealth of history which provides the opportunity for the perfect holiday. Edradour Distillery, the smallest distillery in Scotland, nestles in a glen close to the town.

Pitlochry, situated close to the geographical heart of Scotland, is the perfect base from which to tour the Highlands.

A full day excursion takes us via Glenshee and the Cairnwell Pass into Royal Deeside a favourite retreat of royalty and commoner alike. We visit Braemar before travelling along the side of the River Dee to Crathie Church, Balmoral Castle, summer home of the Royal family, and on to Ballater where almost every shop has a ‘By Royal Appointment’ coat of arms above its door!

We also travel the area around Loch Tummel to the Queen’s View with its breathtaking scenery. We continue on to Aberfeldy and then travel along the side of Loch Tay to the village of Killin, where a narrow stone bridge carries the road across the River Dochart, close to the Falls of Dochart, a spectacular series of river rapids.

SPECTACULAR SHETLAND AND ORKNEY CRUISE

Day 1 Saturday Depart for overnight accommodation in the Golden Lion Hotel, situated in the centre of Stirling.

Day 2 Sunday We make our way northwards to Aberdeen where we catch the overnight sailing onboard the MV Hrossey or MV Hjaltland to Lerwick on Shetland (photographic ID required). Both are modern ships, built in 2002, carry 600 passengers, with shops, restaurant, bars and a cinema. Dinner and ensuite cabin are included.

Day 3 Monday After breakfast onboard the ship, we join our coach for a full guided tour of this beautiful island. We travel the unspoilt coastline of magnifi cent cliffs and an array of wildlife, including puffi ns, and visit the outstanding prehistoric archaeological site of Jarlshof. Our journey back north takes us past Scalloway Castle and Museum then on to Lerwick, where we have some free time in the town before boarding the ship. Dinner is served onboard as we make our way south to Orkney and our hotel for the next two nights.

If you are looking for a tour with a difference then Dodds’ voyage of discovery to Scotland’s most remote isles is a must. Island lifestyle has changed little over the years and is distinctly different from the ‘mainland’. Blending history, archaeology, folklore and tradition, experienced guides will ensure you do not miss any of the island’s wonders.

Day 4 Tuesday We have a full day of sightseeing today, again with the benefi t of a local guide. We take in the unspoilt seascapes, landscapes and the bountiful wildlife of the island, and encounter 5,000 years of history at the world heritage sites of Skara Brae and nearby Skaill House, the Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar. The tour also takes in such famous wartime sites as the Churchill Barriers, the Italian Chapel and Scapa Flow, as well as Kirkwall and St Magnus Cathedral.

Day 5 Wednesday We leave beautiful Orkney behind this morning as we make the short ferry trip to Thurso, passing the Old Man of Hoy on our crossing. We drive south, passing Helmsdale, Brora and Dunrobin Castle before reaching Inverness around lunchtime, with time free for shopping and sightseeing. We continue southwards to our overnight hotel.

Day 6 Thursday After breakfast we depart our hotel to travel homewards.

FORT WILLIAM AND SKYE

Our fi rst visit is to one of the famous Scottish islands - the Misty Isle, Skye - travelling by ferry from Mallaig to Armadale. The southern end of the island is a profusion of green pastures set against the backdrop of high mountain tops. Portree is the main town on Skye and is perhaps best known for the place where Bonnie Prince Charlie bade farewell for the last time in 1746 to Flora MacDonald, who had famously conveyed him ‘Over the Sea to Skye’.

We also have an excursion to Oban, the unoffi cial capital of the west Highlands acclaimed as the ‘Gateway to the Isles’. McCaig’s Tower, a coliseum style monument dominates the skyline and the hotels and shops lining the waterfront provide a charming and relaxed atmosphere.

Situated on the shores of Loch Linnhe and dominated by the sheer beauty of the Nevis mountain range, Fort William has proved to be a popular tour destination for Dodds customers.

After a full day at leisure in Beauly we embark on a tour of the North West Highlands, passing Loch Maree and Gairloch and continuing on with a magnifi cent coastal drive past Gruinard Island (Anthrax Island), Little Loch Broom and the Corrieshalloch Gorge,) to arrive in Ullapool for some free time.

Our tour of glorious Speyside begins with a steam train journey from Broomhill to Aviemore. We continue through Perthshire to Dunkeld, with time to view the cathedral and grounds.

We also have an excursion to Portsmouth, a city with an irresistible mix of history, heritage and specialist shopping. Take a walk around the city and you’ll notice a striking contrast of old and new. Visit Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard or experience the vibrant atmosphere of shopping in the pedestrian avenues of Gunwharf Quays with its spectacular views across the harbour.

CHATSWORTH HOUSE AND THE PEAK DISTRICT

After joining our coach we travel south to our holiday base in Matlock Bath, where the arrival of the railway in the 1840s opened up the town to tourists, and it now boasts many souvenir shops, cafes and food outlets.

Experience the varied landscapes of the Peak District, from the rolling fi elds and hedges, green river valleys and dales to the powerful, stark beauty of the wild and barren, heather moorland.

We visit Chatsworth House and Gardens, home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, and one of Britain’s best loved historic houses. A new visitor route has been opened through the house to include newly restored galleries, displays of rare treasures and a restored stone courtyard at the heart of the house.

We also tour the enchanting market towns, picturesque villages and spectacular scenery of the Peak District. We spend some time in Bakewell, where three pudding shops all claim possession of the original recipe for Bakewell Tart. We also visit Buxton, a place of pilgrimage due to the mineral springs.

WELSH PANORAMA

Our holiday base, the Lion Hotel, overlooks ‘Y Maes’, part of the original Medieval Common Land where four roads meet, one north to Caernarfon, one west to Pwllheli, one east to Porthmadog and one south to the sea.

Take time to explore this charming town, where shopkeepers take time to talk to customers and the aroma of freshly ground coffee and newly baked bread fi lls the air.

Excursions include Portmeirion, the Italianate village used as ‘The Village’ in the 1960’s cult television series, ‘The Prisoner’ and a journey on the World-famous Ffestiniog Railway from Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog.

Situated on the Llyn Peninsula in north-west Wales, Criccieth is known as the ‘Pearl of Wales on the Shores of Snowdonia’, a rather apt description of the town that has vistas to rival those found anywhere in the world.

SOUTH WALES

On this new tour we have an overnight stay in the North of Wales at the Lion Hotel in Criccieth before continuing our journey through the centre of scenic Wales to the Mercure Hotel in Swansea - a diverse city, ideal for shopping, dancing the night away, or taking in a bit of culture.

Enjoy the stirring South Wales countryside and the tranquil views of the Brecon Beacons and Gower Peninsula.

WALES5 DAY TOUR

6 DAY TOUR

Visit the Quadrant Shopping Centre, where you can shop under a glass roof and take a stroll through Swansea Market, which claims to be the largest indoor market in Wales, or indulge yourself in the varied programme of events and activities that the museums, art galleries, cinema and theatres all promote.

This tour includes a day tour to Caermarthen, the oldest town in Wales, and Tenby, steeped in ancient history surrounded by an imposing medieval stone wall and one of the UK’s fi nest holiday resorts. We also have a visit to the Brecon Beacons, set in this beautiful part of Wales, with traditional market towns, stunning landscape, canal paths and castles.

BONDED COACH HOLIDAYS GROUP TRADING CHARTERDodds of Troon Ltd, 4 East Road, Ayr KA8 9BA trading as Dodds Coach Holidays.Registered Offi ce: 60 York Street, Glasgow.

OUR TRADING CHARTER WITH YOU

WHY SHOULD I READ THIS PAGE?Because it is very important. Our Trading Charter forms a key part of our agreement with you and forms the basis of a legally binding contract between you as the lead name making the booking, anyone else in your party and us. When you make this booking as the lead name you undertake that you have the authority to accept, and do accept, on behalf of your party the terms of these booking conditions. This contract is made subject to the terms of these booking conditions, which are governed by Scottish Law, and the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Scottish Courts. If you did not see this trading charter before you made your booking and you are not happy to proceed with the booking now that you have seen it please return all documentation to us within 7 days of receiving this charter. Your booking will be cancelled and your monies will be returned in full provided you have not commenced your travel.

HOW AND WHEN DO I MAKE THIS CONTRACT WITH YOU?We welcome you making contact with us in a number of ways. You can write to us, telephone us, email us, use our website or a nominated travel agent. Whichever way you contact us the contract is made when your booking is entered on to our reservation system and we issue a confi rmation of booking. We will send you, or your agent the confi rmation of your booking within seven working days. Please check this confi rmation very carefully to ensure all the information is correct and tell us, or your agent, immediately of any errors.

HOW IS MY HOLIDAY MONEY PROTECTED?We subscribe to the Code of Conduct of the Bonded Coach Holidays Group (“BCHG”) of the Confederation of Passenger Transport UK. BCHG requires a bond to be taken out to provide protection for your holiday money in the unlikely event that a Member cannot, for fi nancial reasons, carry out their obligations to their passengers.

BCHG CONSUMER GUARANTEEThe Bonded Coach Holiday Group guarantees to bona fi de customers that in the event of failure of a bona fi de member, it will:1) wherever possible, arrange for a holiday or tour to be completed;2) where failure occurs after a holiday has begun, arrange for customers to be returnedby an appropriate means of transport to their UK area of departure;3) if the holiday or tour cannot be completed as planned, the reimbursement of payments made by the customer to the BCHG Member.

WHEN DO I NEED TO PAY FOR MY HOLIDAY AND HOW MUCH?At the time of booking you will need to pay a deposit of £30 for each person named on the booking. The balance must be paid four weeks prior to the departure date of the tour. If you book within our balance due period you will need to pay the total holiday cost at the time of your booking. If you do not pay the outstanding balance for your holiday on or before the date when it is due we may cancel your booking and you will be required to pay the cancellation charges detailed below. The date of cancellation will normally be the date you confi rm in writing that you intend to cancel or 15 days after the balance due date, whichever comes fi rst. Where optional items are purchased as part of the tour package these are payable on the balance due date except where items, such as theatre tickets, have been specifi cally purchased for you. In this case the cost will be payable at a separate date notifi ed to you and will not normally be refundable unless we obtain a refund from the supplier we use.

IF I USE AN AGENT WHO DOES MY MONEY BELONG TO?Your agent will hold your deposit on your behalf until we issue a confi rmation of your booking. The agent then holds this money on our behalf. The agent holds the balance you pay on our behalf until the date the balance is due. The agent will then forward to us.

CAN YOU CHANGE THE PRICE OF MY HOLIDAY AFTER YOU HAVE ISSUED THE BOOKING CONFIRMATION?The price of your holiday is fully guaranteed and will not be subject to any surcharge

CAN I CHANGE MY HOLIDAY ARRANGEMENTS?After we have issued our booking confi rmation we will do our best to accommodate any changes you may want to make but we cannot guarantee to do so. Any changes must be notifi ed to us in writing and signed by the person who is the lead name for the booking. If we are able to make the changes an amendment fee of a maximum of £25 per booking will be payable plus any additional charge for the facilities requested. Any signifi cant alteration after the balance due date will be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and will be subject to the cancellation charges detailed below. A signifi cant alteration would include a change of departure date, holiday or hotel, or number of people travelling.

CAN I TRANSFER MY BOOKING TO SOMEONE ELSE?You can transfer your booking to someone else provided you give us reasonable notice. This person must be able to satisfy all the conditions for the holiday and a change cannot normally be made later than seven days prior to departure. We will make an administration charge of £15 per person for every transfer we make plus any reasonable additional costs caused by the transfer. You will remain responsible for ensuring that the holiday is paid for by the balance due date.

HOW CAN I CANCEL MY HOLIDAY?You, or any member of your party, may cancel at any time provided that the cancellation is made by the person who is the lead name for the booking and it is communicated to us in writing via the offi ce at which you made your original booking. You will have to pay cancellation charges set out in the scale below to cover our estimated loss resulting from the cancellation. Your cancellation will take effect from the date when either the travel agent or we receive your written confi rmation of your cancellation. You must also return any tickets or vouchers that you have received. A reduction in room occupancy may increase the charges for the remaining passengers by the application of supplements for low occupancy of rooms.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CHANGE MY HOLIDAY?The arrangements for your holiday will usually have been made many months in advance. Sometimes changes are unavoidable and we reserve the right to make them. Most of these changes are likely to be minor and we will do our best to keep you informed. If, after booking and before departure, we make a signifi cant change to your holiday you will have the option of withdrawing from the holiday without penalty or alternatively you may transfer to another holiday without paying an administration fee. In either case we will pay you compensation according to the scale set out below. A signifi cant change includes a change in departure time or return time of more than 12 hours, a change of departure point, location of resort or quality of hotel, (excluding single overnight hotels on touring holidays where the quality of the hotel is comparable. If you withdraw from the holiday because we have made a signifi cant change or if we have to cancel your holiday for any reason other than non-payment by you we will offer you the choice of:

• a comparable replacement holiday if available; or

• a replacement holiday of lower quality together with a refund of the price difference; or

• a full refund of the money you have paid.

When we have notifi ed you of the changes and options available, you must tell us your decision as soon as possible and within any timescale we may need to set bearing in mind the need to safeguard the holiday arrangements of other customers.

SCALE OF COMPENSATIONWe will pay you compensation for signifi cant changes on the following scale:Period before departure Amount ofwithin which change is cancellationnotifi ed to you or your agent charge as a %

More than 28 days Nil

15 to 28 days £15

8 to 14 days £20

0 to 7 days £25

Payment of compensation according to the scale set out above will not affect your statutory right to claim further compensation if, in all the circumstances, you remain dissatisfi ed. If, prior to departure, we make a signifi cant change to your holiday arrangements or cancel your holiday we will pay you compensation on the following scale unless:• the holiday is cancelled because the number of

persons who agreed to take it is less than the minimum number required, and you were informed of the cancellation in writing within the period indicated in the description of the holiday;

or• the holiday is changed or cancelled by reason

of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised. These circumstances include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, fi re, quarantine, epidemic or health risks, natural nor nuclear disasters, port and terminal closures and adverse weather conditions.

Period before departure Amount ofin which change is notifi ed cancellationto you or your agent charge as a %

More than 28 days Nil

15 to 28 days £15

8 to 14 days £20

0 to 7 days £25

Payment of compensation according to the scale set out above will not affect your statutory right to claim further compensation if, in all the circumstances, you remain dissatisfi ed. If, after departure, we need to make a change to a signifi cant proportion of your holiday we will do our best to make suitable alternative arrangements at no extra cost to you. If it proves impossible to make suitable alternative arrangements, or if you have reasonable grounds for refusing the alternative offered, we will arrange transport back to your point of departure, or to an alternative location that we agree to. Unless the change is as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control (as described above), you will also be entitled to compensation.

WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF YOUR LIABILITY?We accept responsibility if you or any member of your party is killed or injured as a result of an activity forming part of your holiday arrangements which you booked with us before your departure; or if any part of your holiday arrangements, booked with us in the UK, is not as described in the brochure or not of a reasonable standard; if the failure in your holiday arrangements or any death or personal injury is due to any fault on our part or that of our agents or suppliers whilst acting in the course of their employment. We do not accept responsibility if the failure, death or personal injury is not caused by any fault of ours or of our agents or suppliers or is caused by you or someone not connected with your holiday arrangements; or if the failure, death or personal injury is due to unusual or unforeseen circumstances which, even with all due care, we, or our agents or suppliers, could not have anticipated or avoided. For claims which do not involve personal injury, illness or death, the most we will have to pay if we are liable to you is twice the price the person affected paid for

their holiday (not including insurance premiums and amendment charges). We will only have to pay this maximum amount if everything has gone wrong and you have received no benefi t from your holiday. If you or any member of your party is killed, injured or becomes ill as a result of transport by ship, train or coach, any liability which we may have to pay compensation is limited in line with the Athens Convention (applies to transport by ship), the Berne Convention (applies to transport by rail) and the Geneva Convention (applies to transport by road). You can get copies of the relevant conventions from us if you ask. You should also note that these conventions may limit or remove the carrier’s liability to you and the amount which the carrier has to pay you. If we make any payment to you or any member of your party for death, personal injury or illness, you will be asked to assign to us or our insurers the rights you may have to take action against the person or organisation responsible for causing the death, personal injury or illness. Our suppliers (such as accommodation or transport providers) have their own booking conditions or conditions of carriage, and these conditions are binding between you and the supplier. Some of these conditions may limit or remove the relevant transport provider’s or other supplier’s liability to you. You can get copies of such conditions from our offi ces, or the offi ces of the relevant supplier.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IF I HAVE TO COMPLAIN?If you have a complaint during your holiday you should tell the driver/representative or supplier at the earliest opportunity so that they can do their utmost to resolve the problem immediately. If they are unable to resolve the problem to your satisfaction you should complete a Holiday Report Form which is available from the driver/representative. You will be given a copy of this report which you should keep. If, on your return from holiday, you remain dissatisfi ed you should write within 28 days to Customer Relations Manager, Dodds of Troon Ltd, 4 East Road, Ayr KA8 9BA In your letter you will need to quote your booking reference number, holiday number, departure date and the Holiday Report Form reference, which you completed at the time. If you do not tell us at the earliest opportunity about a problem giving rise to your complaint we cannot take steps to investigate and rectify it. In deciding how to respond to your complaint we will take into account the date you fi rst drew the problem to the attention of our driver/representative or supplier.

IF I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOUR DECISION CAN I REQUEST ARBITRATION?Yes you can. If we cannot resolve your complaint amicably you may request that the dispute is referred to an independent arbitration scheme established by the Confederation of Passenger Transport UK (CPT). Full details of this scheme will be provided on request or you can obtain a copy from CPT. This arbitration scheme provides a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer in respect of costs. This scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £1500 per person. There is also a limit of £7500 per booking. Normally there is a time limit of 9 months from the date of return from your holiday within which to request arbitration but in exceptional circumstances the scheme can be used beyond this date. This scheme does not apply to claims that arise mainly in respect of physical injury or illness or the consequences of any illness or injury.

COACH SEATINGThere is a seating plan of the coach for each holi-day, but it is possible that on occasions operational reasons will require a coach with a different confi guration to be used. We therefore reserve the right to alter a coach seating plan and allocate seats other than those you have booked. Requests for particular seats can be made on most holidays when booking but because allocations are made on a fi rst come, fi rst served basis you are recommended to book early. When your booking is confi rmed you will be offered the seats that are available at that time. If you know someone who may want to book later but sit near you please discuss this with the booking clerk at the time you make your booking. Specifi c seats will not be allocated on coaches which operate on feeder services between joining points and main holiday departure points, on coaches which carry out transfers to and from seaports or on coaches operating a feeder service to or from the main tour coach.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS


HEALTH & SAFETY ON HOLIDAYIn some foreign countries, standards of infrastructure, safety and hygiene may be lower than those to which we are accustomed in the UK. You should therefore exercise greater care for your own protection. Further information can be obtained from your GP or from your travel agent who can provide you with the leafl et “Health Advice for Travellers” published by the Department of Health. Some people may be at risk from discomfort or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) if they remain immobile on a journey for a long period of time. If you are planning to undertake a bus or coach journey of more than 3 hours you should consult your doctor if you have ever had DVT or pulmonary embolism, a family history of clotting conditions, cancer or treatment for cancer, a stroke, heart or lung disease or if you have had major surgery in the past 3 months. We reserve the right to refuse any booking in the absence of a doctor’s certifi cate confi rming that you are fi t to travel. During the journey we will provide comfort stops as frequently as possible. During these stops you are encouraged to get off the coach and walk around. Exercise reduces any discomfort which may be caused by periods of immobility. During any journey you should drink alcohol only in moderation as it leads to dehydration.

PASSENGER BEHAVIOURWe want all our customers to have a happy and carefree holiday. But you must remember that you are responsible for your behaviour and the effect it may have on others. If you or any member of your party is abusive or disruptive or behaves in a way which, in our reasonable opinion, could cause damage or injury to others or affect their enjoyment of their holiday, or which could damage property, we have the right, after reasonable consideration, to terminate your contract with us. If this happens we will have no further obligations or liability to you. The coach driver/representative, ship’s captain, or authorised offi cial of other means of transport is entitled to refuse you boarding if in their reasonable opinion you are unacceptably under the infl uence of drink or drugs or you are being violent or disruptive. If you are refused boarding on the outward journey we will regard it as a cancellation by you and we will apply cancellation charges according to the scale detailed above. If the refusal is on the return journey we have the right to terminate the contract and will have no further obligations or liability to you.

NO SMOKING POLICYWe operate a strict no smoking policy on all our coaches. We make frequent comfort stops.

PICK UP POINT, ITINERARIES, TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND PASSPORTYou are responsible for ensuring that you are at the correct departure point, at the correct time, with the correct documents and we cannot be held liable for any loss or expense suffered by you or your party because of an incorrect passport or late arrival at the departure point. If you are a British citizen travelling outside the United Kingdom you must have a full UK passport valid for a minimum of three months after your scheduled date of return. Non-UK citizens must seek passport and visa advice from the consulates of the countries you plan to visit prior to making a booking for one of our holidays The name on the passport must match the name on the ticket. If someone in your party changes name after the booking is made you must tell us immediately so that we can issue the ticket in the new name. Approximately three weeks prior to departure we will send you or your booking agent all the necessary labels so that you receive them in good time for your holiday. Certain travel documents may have to be retained by us and your driver/courier will then issue them to you at the relevant time. If you lose a travel document after it has been issued to you we will require you to meet the direct cost charged by the carrier/supplier for the issue of a duplicate or replacement. Dodds Coach Tours and North British Tours reserve the right to modify itineraries to conform with requests from the competent authorities in the United Kingdom and any other sovereign state through which the tour will operate. Included excursions are listed on the relevant brochure page and refunds will not be made for any excursion not taken.. Admission fees to buildings, grounds etc. are not included in the price of the holiday unless otherwise stated on the relevant brochure page.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM DELAYED?Your travel insurance may cover you for some delays. In addition where you are delayed for more than six hours in any one day we will seek to minimise any discomfort

WHAT ASSISTANCE WILL YOU GIVE ME IF THINGS GO WRONG WHEN IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT?If you, or any member of your party, suffer death, illness or injury whilst overseas arising out of an activity which does not form part of your package travel arrangements or an excursion arranged through us in the UK, we shall at our discretion, offer advice, guidance and assistance. Where legal action is contemplated and you want our assistance, you must obtain our written consent prior to commencement of proceedings. Our

consent will be given subject to you undertaking to assign any costs, benefi ts received under any relevant insurance policy to ourselves. We limit the cost of our assistance to you and any member of your party to £5000 per party.

SPECIAL NEEDSUnfortunately, many hotels overseas do not provide adequate facilities for guests with mobility problems or who suffer from other disabilities. But whether you are planning a holiday overseas or in the UK, please notify us before you book if you or any member of your party has special needs or suffers from any disability. We are keen to plan arrangements for your holiday so that special needs and requests can be accommodated as far as possible. If you will need assistance or special facilities in the hotel, or may have diffi culties in taking part in excursions or boarding and travelling on the coach or other means of transport you must let us know in advance. Not all the holidays in this brochure may be suitable for you. We want you to enjoy your holiday and will try to help you select an appropriate trip. If you need advice or further information either you or your booking agent should contact Customer Relations Manager, Dodds of Troon Ltd, 4 East Road, Ayr KA8 9BA

SPECIAL REQUESTSIf you have a special request, we will do our best to help but, save as set out below, we cannot guarantee that it will be fulfi lled. Please inform your travel agent or us (if you are booking direct) of your request before you make your booking and ensure that you provide as much detail as possible. If fulfi lment of your special request is vital to your holiday, it must be specifi cally agreed with us before or at the time when you make your booking. We will comply with any special request which has been specifi cally agreed. General confi rmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to our supplier is not confi rmation that your request will be met. All special requests are subject to availability unless and until they are specifi cally confi rmed by us. If fulfi lment of your special request incurs any additional costs, we will either invoice this prior to your departure or inform you that it will have to be paid locally. If your special request relates to a special diet, please tell us before booking or as soon as you are medically advised and send us a copy of the diet. We will contact the hotel or hotels on your holiday but please note that some hotels may not have facilities to cope with special diets and we cannot be held liable for their failure to do so unless we have specifi cally confi rmed to you that

a special diet will be catered for. Where we think that a hotel is unlikely to be able to cope with a special diet we will tell you prior to issuing a booking confi rmation so that you can exercise your right to cancel without charge.

SINGLE OCCUPANCYSingle occupancy of rooms when available may be subject to a supplementary charge and this will be shown on the brochure page.

DATA PROTECTION ACTIn 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 measures are in place to protect your information. We must pass the information on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements such as hotels, transport companies etc. The information may also be supplied to security or credit checking companies, public authorities such as customs/immigration if required by them, or as required 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 information on to any person not responsible for part of your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities or dietary/religious requirements. If we cannot pass this information 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. Please note that where information is held by your travel agent, this is subject to your agent’s own data protection policy. Your data controller is the Customer Relations Manager. You are entitled to a copy of your information held by us. If you would like to see this, please contact us. We retain your full contact details and other information in secure fi les and electronic storage facilities. We may use this information to contact you by mail, telephone or electronic means. We will provide you with details of other goods and services including those of selected third parties. If you do not wish to receive the further information about products and services please write to the data controller.
