Package Holiday - A 'package holiday' is a combination of at least two of the following services (a) transport, (b) accommodation or (c) other tourist services (not ancillary to any transport or accommodation and forming a significant part of the arrangements) where booked through us at an inclusive price.
If you book a package holiday through us, it will be protected under the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 and these regulations require us to provide security for the monies that you pay for the package holidays booked from this website. We provide this security by way of an ATOL (number 1866) administered by the Civil Aviation Authority. When you buy an ATOL protected air holiday package you will receive a confirmation Invoice from us (or via your travel agent through which you booked) confirming your arrangements and your protection under our Air Travel Organiser’s Licence number [1866]. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. For further information visit the ATOL website at http://www.caa.co.uk/. The price of our air holiday packages includes the ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA. This charge is included in our advertised prices.
Accommodation or Flight only - If you book acccommodation or flight only through us, we will accept responsibility for your booking in accordance with the terms set out in the relevant sections below. As this is a single component, the Package Travel, Pacckage Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 do not apply.
Note: As a member of the Association of Independent Tour Operators Trust Limited (AITOT) we have provided a bond, which in the event of our insolvency, protection is provided for non-flight packages excluding pre-arranged travel to and from your destination. Please note that packages booked outside the UK are only protected when purchased directly with The Senegal Experience.
In the above circumstances, if you have not yet travelled you may claim a refund, or if you have already travelled you may be able to continue your holiday or claim repatriation to the starting point of your non-flight package.
