Conditions
for Macleay Valley Travel's China Wonder Tour
Deposits and
Payments -
A non-refundable deposit of
$200.00 per person is payable within 7 days
of booking. This deposit is not refundable should you later cancel. The
balance is payable in full 8 weeks prior to departure.
Refunds
and Cancellations - Cancellations
after final
payment will result in a refund limited to whatever we can recoup from
the airline.
Insurance
- Adequate
travel insurance is essential. We can arrange this for you if desired.
Macleay Valley Travel offers Suresave Travel Insurance.
Please note that we can only process your travel
insurance when we have received full payment for the insurance
and
the signed Suresave Travel Insurance application form, located on the
last page of the Suresave Travel Insurance information booklet. Until
this time the travel insurance cannot be processed and will not be
valid. Macleay Valley Travel will bare no responsibility for any
consequences that may occur as a result of an incomplete insurance
application.
Passports
- All
travellers require a current passport with at least 6 months left
on it at the end of the tour. Non-Australian passport holders require a
re-entry visa for Australia.
Visas
are required for all Australian passport
holders to China. Chinese
Visa Application Service Centre (CVASC) charge Australian passport
holders $60 visa fee plus application service fee of $55.00
and we
charge
$30.00 for processing. Different visa fees apply to non
Australian passport holders.
Basic
Tour Price and Taxes
- Air
taxes and Fuel Levies are included in the basic tour price if the tour
is paid in full on or before the due date on the
final
invoice. Macleay Valley Travel reserves the right to charge for any
increase in Air taxes and Fuel Levies if the tour is not paid in full
by the due date.
Not
Included in the
Cost - Travel
insurance and all
items of a personal nature such as telephone calls, drinks, excess
baggage, tips, meals (except those specified in the itinerary), etc.
are not included in the cost.
Similarly, credit card payments can only be accepted if 2% is added to
the price to help defray the heavy merchant fees charged to us by the
credit card companies.
Breakaway
Fee -
All fully inclusive prices are based on group travel and
any deviation from the set itinerary will incur a
breakaway fee. The breakaway fee for most deviations including a
post-tour extension on this tour is $195 per person. Please inquire
with our office for prices on any pre-tour extensions, as airfare
seasonality may be affected.
Booking through
other Agents
- As we keep the cost of our tours as low as possible, there is
insufficient margin for us to be able to pay commission to other travel
agents, so some bookings can only be accepted if the client pays the
other agent's commission.
Macleay Valley Travel is a fully licensed travel agent and as such any
monies paid to us are fully insured by the Travel Compensation Fund. We
are happy for any prospective traveller with us to check us out with
your local Consumer Affairs (fair trading) department.

reasonably healthy and/or fit to participate in this tour.
