Understandably though they have concerns of how COVID-19 may affect their holiday. Whilst we can’t guarantee fully how these uncertain times will evolve through the coming season, we have sought to address the areas that we can control.
We have introduced for the 2021-22 winter season new flexible terms which should allow you to book in confidence that if you holiday can go ahead it will do so safely and to the standard that you expect, but in the event that it is disrupted that you have financial security.
