We remind our clients that the sole responsibility lies with the traveller, to ensure that they have fully read, met and complied with all terms and regulations as set forth by the specific supplier the client chooses. The duty of checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of each destination, and all safety and security conditions of such destinations, during the length of the proposed travel remains the final responsibility of the individual traveler.
