conditions carefully as they form the basis of the contract between
CTA Holidays Limited as the tour operator and yourself as the client,
and set out our obligations to you and yours to us.

Payment
A deposit of £75 per person must
be paid and sent with a completed, signed booking form together with
the appropriate insurance premium if required. On receipt of your booking
form we will issue a confi rmation invoice as soon as your full itinerary
is confi rmed. The total cost of your holiday is payable to us no later
than 8 weeks prior to departure. If the balance remains unpaid after
this date, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and retain the
deposit paid. Any money paid by a customer to a travel agent in respect
of a booking with CTA Holidays is held by the agent on behalf of
CTA Holidays.
Late Bookings
Bookings received by us 8 weeks or less prior to eparture are
deemed to be late bookings. When you make a defi nite 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 issuing of a confirmation invoice.
Alteration
by the Client
CTA Holidays & its agents will do their utmost , but cannot guarantee
to comply with any request for alteration to a booking. An
amendment fee of £30 per person will be applied. Please note
that
any amendment made after tickets have been issued will be treated
as a cancellation and will attract a minimum charge of £225
per
person.
Cancellation
by the Client
Cancellation of your holiday must be notifi ed to us in writing.
The cancellation charges depend upon when your written notice
is received and will be levied as follows.

Cancellation or Alteration by the Company
The company reserves the right to modify or cancel any holiday,
fl ight 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 confi rmed 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 money 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 notifi ed 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.
Important Notice

Compensation payments do not apply to changes
caused by reason of war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, terrorist
activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disasters, fi re, technical
problems to transport, closure or congestion of airports or ports,
cancellation or changes of schedules by scheduled airlines and
similar events beyond our control.
Conditions of Carriage
When you travel with a carrier, the conditions of carriage of
that carrier will apply, some of which may limit liability. The
conditions of 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.
Travel Documents
It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that passports, visas,
vaccination certifi cates and any other necessary travel documents
are valid for the journey(s) to be undertaken.
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 V.A.T.,
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 be an administration charge of
50p together with an amount to cover agent’s commission. 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 money
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 this brochure are
based on fuel costs and exchange rates on 10 December 2005
as quoted 2,31 YTL. All services in this brochure to North Cyprus
and Turkey are paid in sterling.
Travel Insurance
It is a condition of booking that you take the holiday insurance
we recommend or arrange insurance yourself offering comparable
or better cover. Insurance premiums will automatically be
added to your fi nal invoice unless details of your insurer are
clearly indicated on the booking form.

accommodation and other services in the most effi cient manner
and thereby provide you with an enjoyable holiday. We accept
responsibility for the acts or omissions of our employees or
agents and suppliers. In addition we further accept responsibility
for services which we are contractually obliged to provide, provedeficient

employment. We will accordingly pay to our clients such damages
as might have been claimed in respect of death, illness
or injury caused by the negligence, as accepted under English
Law, of our employees, agents or suppliers contracted or subcontracted
by us to provide any part of the arrangements for your
holiday. If any client suffers death, illness or injury whilst overseas
arising out of activity which does not form part of the foreign inclusive
holiday arrangement or excursion arranged through us we shall, at our discretion
offer advice guidance and assistance to help you in resolving any claim
you may have against a third party, provided we are advised of the incident
within 90 days of the occurrence. Where legal action is contemplated our
authority must be obtained prior to commencement of proceedings and
be subject to your undertaking to assign any costs recovered or
any benefi ts received under an appropriate insurance policy to
ourselves. Our costs in respect of the above on behalf of you and
your party shall not exceed £5,000 in total.
