Why choose Portugal: Portugal is a friendly, low-key country with a laidback vibe and a fantastic coastline. Its rolling hills are perfect for exploring by car or coach. The legacy of Portugal’s former wealth and power can be seen in its historic cities, yet the capital Lisbon superbly situated on the Tejo River estuary, is as popular today for its lively culture as for its monuments. Porto meanwhile is the best place to sample some of the many varieties of Portugal’s famous port wine.

When to travel: Portugal is generally warm and mild. Northern Portugal has cold and rainy winters and warm summers, while the Algarve along the southern coastline has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters.

COACH TOURSMorocco’s history and climate is influenced by its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. Evocative historical cities, beautiful beaches, fortified villages and lush highlands are what you will see and experience with Tempo Holidays’ carefully chosen coach tours.

• Cross the Sahara Desert in a 4x4• Try exotic Moroccan food • Experience the contrasting

cultures surrounded by Kasbahs

Why choose Morocco: Morocco is a heady mix of languages, cultures, religions, ancient traditions and modern sensibilities. Each area of the country has its own distinct character. The rocky spine of the Atlas Mountains divides Morocco in half, separating the endless, rolling dunes of the Western Sahara in the south from the coastal cities of the north.

When to travel: Morocco experiences a varied climate due to its diverse geography. Coastal regions enjoy a mild climate, humid in winter and warm in summer. Temperatures are more extreme in the mountainous interior with cold winters and extremely hot summers.

All offers are subject to availability at the time of booking. Price beat guarantee does not apply to airfares.ACCOMMODATION STANDARDSHotels are generally selected for location, facilities and value. In more remote areas we may need to use basic accommodation which is regarded as ‘best available’. Classifications are based on assessments provided by tourist authorities in the countries concerned and reflect the type of facilities offered, rather than denoting a style of hotel. Photographs are intended to give a general impression only. Room layouts and views may vary. City maps are only a guide to the location of the hotel. HOTEL FACILITIESThe mention of facilities such as parking, gyms, saunas etc does not imply that the use of these is free. Where charges apply, they will be payable locally (unless otherwise specified). Tea and coffee making facilities in rooms are the exception rather than the rule. Swimming pools, heating and air-conditioning are not necessarily available all year round.BEDDING CONFIGURATIONPrices are generally based on standard twin share accommodation. Requests for specific bedding types must be made at the time of booking, but are not guaranteed. Double rooms may have either twin or double beds. It is common practice to link two single beds together to use as a double bed. Single rooms are often smaller than other rooms and may contain a single bed. Triple rooms usually consist of a twin or double bedded room with an additional sofa bed, folding bed or rollaway for the third person - the room may be cramped as a result. In villas and apartments the bedding configuration is as advised at the time of publication, and is subject to change. Multiple bedrooms in villas or similar does not infer that these rooms afford total privacy.TRAVELLING WITH CHILDRENWhere a child shares a room with two paying adults and stays free, an extra bed may not be supplied and the child could be expected to share an adult’s bed. Additional charges may be levied and paid directly for child meals. Where a child discount rate is applied the child receives a bed, normally a rollaway.

SPECIAL BOOKING CONDITIONS AND OPTIONSSome services cannot be booked without monies being paid. We will advise you if this condition is applicable. A full refund for the service will be made if the booking cannot be confirmed. For some arrangements an option system is used. Once an option is advised to your travel agent the deposit (or full payment if applicable) must be made within 5 working days in order to confirm your booking. If payment is not received on time the option will automatically lapse.AMENDMENTSExcept as stated below, no fee will be charged for the first amendment or to extend an existing booking. For second and subsequent alterations, excluding extensions or additions, a fee of A$33 per booking applies. A proposed amendment or name change may be treated as a cancellation. Any additional charges applied by suppliers are payable by you.

ADDITIONAL CHARGESDue to the costs of communication and provision of documents a charge will apply for the following services:• Minimum Booking: A$33 for bookings with a total value of less than A$500.• Late Booking: A$33 charge for any booking made with less than 7 days prior to departure from Australia. Additionally, full payment is required at the time of booking regardless of whether services are confirmed. This payment will be refunded in the event that we are unable to subsequently confirm satisfactory arrangements. • Document Re-issue Fee: A$66 for any amendment made which necessitates re-issue of documents. This may be in addition to any other amendment fee charged by our suppliers.• Credit Card Payment: A fee of 2% will be applied to all credit card payments and will be added to the amount to be paid. • Courier Fee: Where vouchers, tickets and travel documents are sent via specialist courier this cost will be charged to your booking.

INVOICE ERRORS OR OMISSIONS (E&OE*)We reserve the right to correct any errors in rates quoted or calculated for any service, notwithstanding that the invoice may have been paid in full. All confirmed bookings are issued with an invoice detailing the services booked. If any service is still on request this will be indicated on the invoice.

DOCUMENTATIONTravel documentation will normally be issued two weeks prior to departure. Documentation will not be issued until we are in receipt of full payment. Issuance of documentation does not absolve responsibility for any outstanding payments due.

CANCELLATIONSAll cancellations must be made in writing through Tempo Holidays in Australia. No responsibility is taken for cancellations of hotel bookings or other services made directly by the client or the client’s travel agent with the service provider, regardless of whether written proof is given.

PARTIAL CANCELLATIONCancellation of confirmed services forming part of an existing booking will incur cancellation fees as listed.

TEMPO HOLIDAYS CANCELLATION FEESOur standard schedule of cancellation fees is as follows. The departure date refers to the departure date of the first service in the booking:• 45 days + prior to departure: forfeiture of deposit.• 44-15 days prior to departure: 25% of total cost or deposit, whichever is greater• 14 days or less prior to departure: 100% total cost.If you fail to check-in at your designated hotel as confirmed, 100% No Show Fee will be charged.

SUPPLIER CANCELLATION FEESThese fees may be in addition to the charges outlined above. On some occasions, hotels, airlines and other service providers offer instant purchase rates which may involve cancellation or amendment fees of up to 100% if changes occur after booking, regardless of the date of travel. Supplier charges are based on the commencement date and cost of each confirmed arrangement. Some services have cancellation fees higher than the standard scale, as listed below as a guide. Charges may be up to 100% of the cost paid.

ADDITIONAL CANCELLATION FEESBarging the Canals of France (pg 43) and River Cruising (pg 44, 45, 71 & 76):• 91 days or more prior to departure: forfeiture of deposit.• 90-61 days prior to departure: 50% of total cost or deposit, whichever is greater• 60 days or less prior to departure: 100% total cost.

REFUNDSNo refund will be given for any service which is not used by you due to late arrival, early departure, or by choice. This includes the failure of any transportation to operate as scheduled. We do not authorise any supplier to promise refunds on our behalf. No refund will apply if the cost of your holiday is reduced after deposit or payment is made.

TRAVEL INSURANCETravel insurance is not included in our prices. We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance from your travel agent at the time of booking to cover yourself against loss of monies paid in the event of cancellation due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances; as well as for medical expenses, loss of luggage and other expenses incurred while travelling.

LOCAL REPRESENTATIVESContact details of our local representatives are included in documentation. Please do not hesitate to contact local

representatives for any assistance with difficulties or changes. If you need to alter your arrangements once overseas or to add services to your booking you may do this through our local representative. Any additional costs incurred therein must be paid directly. We cannot be held responsible for any subsequent complaint with arrangements booked directly with a supplier abroad. Cancellations of confirmed services must be notified through Tempo Holidays even if you have advised the local representative.

CONSUMER CLAIMSWe endeavour to ensure that all your arrangements proceed smoothly. However, should a problem occur during your travels it is essential and most practical to try to resolve it locally with the service provider. If you are unable to resolve the matter, it should be referred to our local representative immediately. If this is not possible we should be informed immediately. If you are unhappy with your hotel room please inform the duty manager so the situation may be rectified on the spot. If you fail to take these steps any claim to compensation may be reduced or denied. If you have an unresolved complaint this should be put to us in writing detailing the efforts that were made with the local operator to resolve the issue. Please send this with supporting documentation, via your travel agent, within 30 days of the date of the service. No claim made after this period will be considered.

TIPPINGOur prices do not include tips. Tipping tour drivers and guides is customary in the countries included in this brochure. In retrospect you will find that tips constitute a small proportion of your overall touring budget.

OVERBOOKINGOverbooking is common practice among airlines and hotels. You need to accept that any claim arising from overbooking may only be made against the airline or hotel concerned. Without prejudice to the foregoing, we will take every possible action to protect your interest should overbooking occur.
