OUR COMMITMENTS<br />
For over 30 years, <strong>Exotik</strong> <strong>Tours</strong> continues to offer tours and packages corresponding<br />
to your needs, your expectations, your security and comfort. Our many advantages<br />
include our airline partners, carefully selected hotels, the length and pace of our<br />
tours, the excursions we offer and most importantly the quality assurance offered by<br />
our partners at destination. With <strong>Exotik</strong> <strong>Tours</strong>, you can rest assured that the vacation<br />
you choose is in fact the one for you!<br />
OUR AIRLINE PARTNERS<br />
An important part of planning our tours and packages is choosing airlines with high<br />
levels of punctuality and service. Thus, <strong>Exotik</strong> <strong>Tours</strong> works closely with a carefully<br />
selected group of airline companies.<br />
BEACH AND HOTEL STAYS<br />
<strong>Exotik</strong> <strong>Tours</strong> believes that the quality of service offered throughout your vacation is<br />
extremely important and contributes to the success of your trip. This is why we have<br />
uniquely chosen our suppliers at destination. We carefully studied the companies’<br />
goals and quality of service and ensured that they match our standards. Their professionalism<br />
is undeniable and the majorities have been around for years, continuing<br />
to offer excellent service. They appreciate that client satisfaction is the key to their<br />
existence.<br />
The majority of our beach and hotel stay programs include flights, transfers, accommodation<br />
and a certain number of meals.<br />
In addition, for certain populart destinations, a bilingual representative is available<br />
for assistance, inquiries and needs. They are your source of information to the many<br />
optional excursions and activities offered at destination.<br />
TOURS<br />
When planning our tours, we take into consideration the length of stay and pace,<br />
allowing you to explore, sightsee and have some free time to discover the sites at<br />
your leisure.<br />
While some tours require more travel time from one place to the next due to their<br />
geographical layout, others are shorter allowing for more free time.<br />
GUIDES AT DESTINATION<br />
Our multilingual guides at destination have been trained locally, allowing them to<br />
experience first hand, the history, cultures, religions and daily life of the people.<br />
Their passion, hospitality, knowledge and dedication contribute to an unforgettable<br />
experience. When venturing outside the big cities, our qualified guides will explain<br />
in depth, the different facets of each site. During a city tour, a local English speaking<br />
guide will hop on board your motor coach and offer further information on the city’s<br />
highlights.<br />
QUALITY TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES<br />
The modes of transportation used during our tours are comfortable, clean and air<br />
conditioned (unless air-conditioning is not required, ex: Bhutan, etc). The size of<br />
vehicle used will depend on the type of tour you’re on and the number of passengers.<br />
The licensed drivers are carefully selected by our local suppliers in accordance to<br />
their knowledge and conduct.<br />
BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE<br />
Please note that the baggage allowance included in the majority of our tours is one<br />
bag per person. Depending on the tour, a carry on or backpack may be required.<br />
Please be sure to check with your travel agent.<br />
QUALITY CONTROL<br />
A Quality Control document is included in your travel documents. Your comments<br />
and suggestions are valuable to us and offer important information when planning<br />
our tours. Please take the time to send us your comments, likes and dislikes. This<br />
will allows us to continue to offer products that correspond to our customers needs<br />
and insure quality service.<br />
ACCOMMODATIONS « OUR CLASSIFICATION »<br />

next. It is important to know that hotel rooms outside North America are generally<br />
smaller and air conditioning is not always available. The bathrooms are all private<br />
and include a bath and/or shower. All of our tours and hotel stays are based on a<br />
standard room category. Any other requests cannot be guaranteed and will probably<br />

Elephant family at Elephant Orphanage in Pinnawela, Sri Lanka<br />
The natural beauty of Sri Lanka’s tropical forests, beaches and<br />
landscape, its rich cultural heritage, and its infamous tea, make it a<br />
world famous tourist destination.<br />

orphanage where you will experience how baby elephants are fed,<br />
bathed and taken care of. The orphanage was established in 1975<br />
by the Sri Lanka Wildlife department and is also a breeding place<br />
for elephants. Till now, over twenty elephants were born since<br />
1984, and it now has the largest herd of elephants in captivity in the<br />
world. Proceed to Dambulla to visit the rock temple. Dedicated as<br />
a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Dambulla Cave Temple (or the<br />
Golden Temple of Dambulla) is the largest and best-preserved cave<br />
temple complex in Sri Lanka. It also features a functioning Buddhist<br />
Monastery dating back to the third and second centuries B.C.<br />
Inside the caves, the ceilings are painted with intricate patterns<br />
of religious images, following the contours of the rock.<br />

Stop on the way to visit a spice & herb garden at Matale. Kandy, the<br />
last royal capital of Sri Lanka, is a major tourist destination. Famous<br />
for the Temple of the Sacred Tooth and many other temples, the city<br />
could be called the cultural capital of the island. The Sri Dalada<br />
Maligawa or The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic was built within<br />
the royal palace complex which houses one of the two surviving<br />

the lifeline of Egypt, providing water for a desert<br />
civilization. Through the years, traffic on the Nile<br />
has had tangible impact on the river.<br />
Nile cruises are not comparable to Caribbean<br />
cruises. They are river cruises with an average of 60<br />
cabin capacity and very little entertainment on board.<br />
Meals are quite repetitive but of decent standards.<br />
Beverages are not included.<br />
Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended.<br />
There are a lot of steps in Egypt as well as desert<br />
sand. When disembarking, you might have to cross<br />
through many ships before arriving to the wharf.<br />
Crossing the Esna lock might take a long time, depending<br />
on the number of ships ahead of yours. This<br />
is controlled by the government and is out of<br />
our control.<br />

South America, a continent as diverse as one can<br />
imagine, a place that thrills, excites, romances<br />
and challenges, a continent that was designed<br />
for travel.<br />
Whether you choose to have a eye-opening<br />
Amazon canoe ride in a black water lagoon,<br />
challenge the climb of Machu Picchu, brave a<br />
white knuckle bus ride down Peruvian slopes or<br />
hang out in a hammock on the Caribbean, South<br />
America will enchant you.<br />
The real treasure, however, is the South American<br />
people. It would seem that the entire continent<br />
approaches life with the enthusiasm of an old<br />
fashioned road trip: roof down and the music<br />
blasting. Because of its complex history, South<br />
America is home to a dynamic variety of people.<br />
As a result, you will find many different kinds of<br />
cuisine, art, architecture, dance, and music that<br />
thrive on the continent.<br />
Samba, in the sandy beach towns of Brazil will<br />
enter your soul and demand that you dance,<br />
panpipes in the Andean markets will enliven the<br />
spirit, and the folkorica (folk music) of Argentina<br />
will be heard trickling out of the truck radios in<br />
the pampas.<br />
Eating and drinking in South America is as diverse<br />
and exciting as experiencing the countries within<br />
the continent. While in Brazil you may choose to<br />
try some local dishes like feijoada, a bean and<br />
meat stew, or caruru a spread made of okra,<br />
onion, dried shrimp and toasted nuts. Brazil is<br />
also known for cachaca a popular native liquor<br />
used in the caipirinha. While in Argentina grilled<br />
meat from the asado (barbecue) is a staple, with<br />
steak and beef ribs especially common, try<br />
washing it all down with one of Argentina’s local<br />
wines or beers.<br />
Surrounded by two oceans, and traversed by the<br />
equator, South America embraces every climatic<br />
zone from tropical rainforest, vast deserts to<br />
soaring alpine meadows. Many languages and<br />
dialects are spoken throughout South America,<br />
however Spanish and Portuguese are the most<br />
predominant.<br />
South America a continent that envelopes you,<br />
challenges you and changes your state of mind<br />
and your outlook on life. As soon as you step foot<br />
on South American soil, the renewal begins.<br />

KILIMANJARO · Machame Route<br />
From $2055<br />
In the heart of Kilimanjaro National Park stands the<br />
highest peak on the continent of Africa. Mount<br />
Kilimanjaro. One of the highest free standing<br />
mountains in the world rising from the cultivated<br />
farm lands on the lower levels, through lush rainforest<br />
to alpine meadows and finally to barren rock and<br />
ice to the summits of Kibo and Mawenzi and Uhuru.<br />
Of all the routes to ascent this mountain, Machame<br />
is by far the most scenic however, it is also the<br />
steeper route up the mountain. The Machame route<br />
does have the major advantage of taking several<br />
days when you go up and down as part of the route<br />
and this is the main reason why it has such a high<br />
success rate.<br />

to the trip planned as well as any detail that<br />
could affect the validity of transportation tickets<br />

including, among other things, pre-payment<br />
made on booking of travel and other services<br />

to the room occupancy, including the addition<br />
to or reduction of the number of occupants, you<br />
will be responsible for any resulting increase in<br />
price. If a passenger wishes to modify, change<br />
or cancel the package, he or she will be required<br />
to notify <strong>Exotik</strong> in writing within the prescribed<br />
deadline. <strong>Exotik</strong> will not issue a refund for any<br />
cancelled or unused services after the departure<br />
point.<br />
Changes to a Booking:<br />

person, per change (plus any additional<br />
supplements or penalties according to this<br />
change and the availability).<br />

as a cancellation and will be subject<br />
to the applicable cancellation charges.<br />

increase on goods and services from the original<br />
reservation date to the date of change. No price<br />
adjustments shall be made if the price for goods<br />
and services has decreased.<br />
Special Requests:<br />
<strong>Exotik</strong> cannot guarantee specific requests<br />
such as room location, adjoining rooms, bed<br />
preference, seat selection, in-flight meal<br />
requirements, sky cots, etc. While <strong>Exotik</strong> will<br />
advise service providers of such requests, it<br />
cannot be held responsible if such requests<br />
cannot be fulfilled or if local surcharges are<br />
applied.<br />
children:<br />
Unless otherwise stated, children’s price are<br />
restricted to those 2-11 years of age at the time<br />
of departure and only when sharing a room with<br />
2 full paying adults.<br />
Customs & Immigration:<br />
Customs and/or immigration officials can deny<br />
a person’s entry into their country at their own<br />
discretion. A previous criminal record could be<br />
an obstacle in international travel. <strong>Exotik</strong> cannot<br />
be held responsible for denied entry under any<br />
circumstances.<br />
Documentation:<br />
It is solely your responsibility to obtain, at your<br />
own expense, all the documentation required by<br />
relevant government authorities for the purpose<br />
of your holiday. Required documentation may<br />
vary depending on citizenship status. Special<br />
documentation may be required for minors<br />
travelling alone; for children who have a<br />
different surname than the adults who<br />
accompany them; or for single parents travelling<br />
with children. Prior to departure, you should<br />
check with your travel agent and/or the relevant<br />
consulate about what documentation is<br />
required. Some countries require a visa and/or<br />
a passport valid for at least 6 months after the<br />
date of return to Canada. All passengers must<br />
make sure they have a valid passport according<br />
to the requirements of the countries visited.<br />
Passengers holding other than a Canadian<br />
passport may require other documents (i.e. visa<br />
or vaccination certificate). The passenger must<br />
obtain these documents before departure.<br />
For information on the Canadian Government<br />
Passenger Protect program, please visit www.<br />
passengerprotect.gc.ca. Landed immigrants<br />
without Canadian citizenship or a Permanent<br />
Resident Card may be denied boarding upon<br />
return to Canada. In the event that a passenger<br />
does not possess the documentation required by<br />
the government authorities at the holiday destination<br />
or by the airline, passage or entry to the<br />
destination may be refused. If passage or entry<br />
is refused, <strong>Exotik</strong> will not be held liable and will<br />
not issue any refunds.<br />
Passengers not holding a<br />
Canadian passport:<br />
Some countries, such as Morocco, will not<br />
allow a Canadian visitor to share a room with<br />
a Moroccan national event if the reservation<br />
was made in Canada in the name of the<br />
Canadian passenger. It is the responsibility of the<br />
passenger to inform <strong>Exotik</strong> of any situation other<br />
that of two Canadians traveling together.<br />
Tickets:<br />
Tickets can be issued the day of your booking<br />
confirmation. The name on the ticket has to be<br />
the exact name appearing on your passport. It is<br />
your responsibility to give your travel agent the<br />
correct names when you make reservation and<br />
to verify your tickets upon reception. For Africa<br />
and South America, the ticket will be issued at<br />
the time of the reservation and full payment is<br />
required at this time. It is important to review<br />
all documents and tickets before leaving the<br />
country.<br />
Flights, Carriers, Sea or Land Transportation: All<br />
flight times, flight itineraries, carriers and aircraft<br />
types are subject to change with or without<br />
notice. The carriers and <strong>Exotik</strong> also reserve the<br />
right to add en route stops. It is recommended<br />
that you contact the airline within 24 hours of<br />
departure to confirm your departure time. It is<br />
also recommended that you arrive at the airport<br />
3 to 4 hours prior to departure to allow sufficient<br />
time for check-in and security clearance. Airline<br />
cut-off times vary between 45 and 90 minutes.<br />
Please check with the airline directly. You agree<br />
that <strong>Exotik</strong> cannot be held responsible or liable<br />
if you miss your flight or are denied boarding.<br />
Carriage and service performed and tickets<br />
issued are subject to the terms referred to on<br />
such tickets, the rules relating to liability by<br />
the Warsaw Convention (as amended), and<br />
these Terms & Conditions. Tickets and boarding<br />
passes are non-transferable and non-negotiable.<br />
Air transportation complaints are solely<br />
the responsibility of the airline concerned. You<br />
agree that <strong>Exotik</strong> cannot be held responsible or<br />
liable for expenses, lost wages or missed vacation<br />
time due to flight time changes and/or delays.<br />
Air travel is in economy class by the carrier<br />
specified by <strong>Exotik</strong>. The quantities are limited,<br />
supplements can apply. You may not qualify for<br />
frequent flyer miles when flying on certain fares.<br />
Baggage:<br />
Each airline determines the quantity, size and<br />
weight of authorized baggage. There may be<br />
charges for excess baggage. Please check with<br />
your travel agent or contact the airline for more<br />
details. Class of booking may influence baggage<br />
allowance. All baggage remains at your own risk<br />
throughout the trip. Due to security restrictions,<br />
liquids and gels, as well as many other items,<br />
are not permitted in carry-on luggage. Prescription<br />
medications should be kept in the original<br />
container and packed in carry-on luggage.<br />
Please check with the airline prior to departure<br />
for the most up-to-date regulations in order to<br />
avoid items being confiscated at security. In<br />
the event that your baggage is delayed at your<br />
destination or upon your return home, please<br />
contact the airline representative before leaving<br />
the airport. Failure to do so will invalidate<br />
your claim. Independent contractors over which<br />
we have no control perform baggage handling<br />
and we cannot assume responsibility for loss<br />
of, or damage to, baggage or other possessions.<br />
Due to the carrier’s limit of liability; please do<br />
not check valuable items such as jewellery<br />
and cameras. Please also limit the valuables<br />
(including electronic equipment) you take with<br />
you on holiday and use the safety deposit boxes<br />
provided at hotels or on cruise ships. Please ensure<br />
you have adequate insurance to cover your<br />
belongings throughout your holiday.<br />
Connecting Flights:<br />
If you have connecting flights with separate tickets,<br />
you should allow ample time (minimum 3<br />
hours) between flights. <strong>Exotik</strong> cannot accept any<br />
responsibility for additional charges incurred for<br />
airfares or other expenses due to missed flights,<br />
irregular air operations or flight time changes.<br />
<strong>Tours</strong> & Itineraries:<br />
<strong>Tours</strong> abroad are not operated or managed by<br />
<strong>Exotik</strong> but by tour operators and/or local suppliers<br />
whose names appear on your exchange<br />
vouchers. <strong>Exotik</strong>’s role is strictly limited to<br />
transmitting your reservations to the local tour<br />
operator. <strong>Exotik</strong> does not assume any responsibility<br />
in the event of an error or failure to provide<br />
any service by the local tour operators or their<br />
representatives.<br />
Itineraries stated in this brochure are given for<br />
information purposes only and are subject to<br />
change at any time. Cities and stops described<br />
in the tours, whether individually or as a whole,<br />
cannot in any way be considered a determining<br />
factor of your booking. Itineraries, visits, accommodation<br />
or means of transportation are subject<br />
to change during the course of the tour, due to<br />
special circumstances, and the local tour operator<br />
as well as the guide can decide at any time<br />
to make any changes or substitutions - their decision<br />
being final and without recourse. Number<br />
of participants in a group can vary from 2 to 45<br />
persons in the programs presented in this brochure<br />
except for the tours guaranteed with only<br />
25 or 35 passengers.<br />
For tours guaranteed with only 25 or 35<br />
passengers, sometimes, depending on the room<br />
assignment, the maximum can be of 27 or 37<br />
passengers including our tour leader.<br />
Correspondents and local guides: <strong>Tours</strong> and<br />
visits mentioned in the itineraries are provided<br />
by local guides. For most visits, <strong>Exotik</strong> provides<br />
French or English-speaking local guides, but<br />
remember that accents can vary from one<br />
country to another. Arrival and departure<br />
transfers are provided by drivers and do not<br />
necessarily include the services of local guides.<br />
Accommodation (rooms & cabins):<br />
Note that in European and Mediterranean<br />
countries, heating and air conditioning in hotels<br />
may be not working in spring and fall, especially<br />
October and May. If you have paid a supplement<br />
for sea view room, depending on the hotel orientation,<br />
please note that sea view can be partial<br />
or lateral. Even if there are many restaurants at<br />
the hotel, your included meals are always at<br />
the main restaurant (unless otherwise stated).<br />
Supplements can apply for other restaurants<br />
services. Hotels shown in this brochure are<br />
rated according to quality standards in the<br />
country where they are located. These<br />
standards are sometimes lower than North<br />
American standards, because they particularly<br />
take into consideration the services available<br />
rather than the comfort in the rooms/cabins.<br />
Hotels are subject to availability and are<br />
confirmed at time of booking; they may be<br />
replaced by other rooms/cabins of similar<br />
category. Hotel and cruise ship companies<br />
assign rooms/cabins available when passengers<br />
arrive. <strong>Exotik</strong> has no control whatsoever<br />
on the size, location or view of rooms/cabins<br />
assigned to passengers.<br />
Single rooms, outside North America, are<br />
usually smaller and not as well located as<br />
double rooms. Their number is very limited and<br />
they can only be confirmed after booking.<br />
Cruises: To avoid any disappointment, we would<br />
like to inform our clients that, unlike cruises<br />
in the Caribbean, where luxury services and<br />
accommodation are frequent, cruises in the<br />
Mediterranean, Asia, Egypt, Russia should be<br />
regarded as the most pleasant and convenient<br />
way to visit many sites. In no cases can the<br />
ships used be compared with those used in the<br />
Caribbean in terms of tonnage, size and number<br />
of cabins, service and entertainment on board,<br />
etc. Criteria used for ship classification are<br />
established on the basis of local standards,<br />
which may be lower than North American standards.<br />
Moreover, these cruise ship companies<br />
use different types of ships to operate cruises.<br />
The choice of ship is their sole responsibility<br />
and is done only a few days before departure,<br />
without any consultation with us. In the event<br />
that the tonnage of your cruise ship is lower<br />
than the one indicated in this brochure, no price<br />
change can be made to the cost of the package.<br />
Consequently, we cannot guarantee any particular<br />
ship in the cruise ship company’s fleet.<br />
Problem Handling: If you have any questions,<br />
queries or problems while at your destination,<br />
please contact the hotel or supplier directly.<br />
Should you find your accommodation unsuitable,<br />
contact the hotel manager or the supplier<br />
immediately. Failure to report your concerns may<br />
preclude your right to a claim.<br />
If you decide to find your own accommo dation<br />
elsewhere, there will be no refund for the<br />
unused portion of your hotel stay. Additional<br />
expenses incurred for new accommodation are<br />
your responsibility.<br />
Notice to Travellers:<br />
Please be aware that different living standards<br />
and practices exist outside of Canada, including<br />
but not limited to provision of utilities, i.e.<br />
water and electricity, accommodations,<br />
services of all kinds, food, food preparation, water<br />
quality, security, insects, wildlife or weather<br />
conditions. You agree that <strong>Exotik</strong> shall not<br />
be responsible or liable for any loss, damage,<br />
illness or injury you may suffer as a result of<br />
such different living standards and practices.<br />
It is not uncommon to suffer from travellers’<br />
diarrhea when travelling. The Public Health<br />
Agency of Canada recommends that you visit your<br />
family doctor or a travel medicine clinic prior to<br />
departure to advise you on precautions. Please<br />
check the Foreign Affairs & International Trade<br />
Canada website at www.voyage.gc.ca for information<br />
specific to your destination before you<br />
travel. All hotels undergo routine maintenance<br />
and renovations. Certain resort areas are undergoing<br />
major growth with ongoing construction<br />
and <strong>Exotik</strong> is not responsible for any resulting<br />
inconvenience. At brand new hotels, some<br />
facilities may not be completely operational.<br />
Landscaping and other finishing touches may be<br />
continuing during your stay. If <strong>Exotik</strong> is advised<br />
of any significant work that will be ongoing<br />
during your stay or of any major facilities that<br />
will not be available, we will try to advise<br />
you prior to departure through notice to your<br />
travel agent.<br />

Travel Insurance:<br />
It is strongly recommended that all travellers<br />
obtain adequate insurance coverage to protect<br />
themselves should they be obliged to cancel a<br />
holiday due to health problems or unforeseen<br />
circumstances. You may purchase such insurance<br />
from your travel agent at the time of<br />
booking. You may also wish to purchase<br />
medical insurance. You agree that <strong>Exotik</strong><br />
shall not be responsible or liable for health<br />
problems that may arise or become aggravated<br />
while travelling or at your destination.<br />
Standards of medical care may differ from those in<br />
Canada. Treatment may be expensive, payment in<br />
advance may be required and provincial health<br />
care coverage may be limited.<br />
Cancellation of Services:<br />
<strong>Exotik</strong> reserves the right to cancel a package if<br />
not enough participants are registered. In the<br />
event that certain services are cancelled, <strong>Exotik</strong><br />
will have no responsibility beyond the refund of<br />
all monies received by <strong>Exotik</strong> for such cancelled<br />
services, which will be deemed to constitute full<br />
settlement of any claim you might have against<br />
<strong>Exotik</strong> for the cancellation. However, you must<br />
notify us of your decision in writing within<br />
72 hours of such notice<br />
Alteration of Services: Advertised facilities<br />
may occasionally be modified or unavailable.<br />
We will advise you or your travel agent of<br />
any description changes, if known, prior to<br />
departure. Sometimes major changes to your<br />
holiday arrangements may be required due<br />
to circumstances beyond our control, such as<br />
hotel overbooking, unexpected maintenance<br />
problems or due to market conditions. Major<br />
changes may include change of destination,<br />
change of departure or return by more than 24<br />
hours, change of itinerary, change of hotel, ship<br />
or accommodation standard. In these circumstances,<br />
<strong>Exotik</strong> reserves the right to substitute<br />
hotel and other arrangements for arrangements<br />
of comparable value without notice or liability.<br />
Force Majeure/Act of God:<br />
<strong>Exotik</strong> is not responsible or liable for changes<br />
or cancellations made that relate to or arise<br />
as a result of hostilities, acts of war or threat<br />
of war, riots, civil disturbances, terrorist<br />
activity, industrial disputes, natural and nuclear<br />
disasters, fire, epidemics or health risks,<br />
technical problems with transport as well as flight<br />
delays due to weather or for mechanical reasons,<br />

or ports, supplier insolvency, governmental<br />
acts and other events beyond our control.<br />

responsibility, and is not liable, for the costs or other<br />
consequences that arise out of or result from<br />
inclement weather conditions at any time of<br />
the year.<br />
Facilities & Services:<br />
Hotels may curtail or alter some facilities<br />
without notice, usually for purpose of ongoing<br />
maintenance and improvement. You agree that<br />
<strong>Exotik</strong> shall not be held responsible or liable if,<br />
due to the acts or omissions of others, some<br />
services, bonus features or facilities described<br />
in this brochure, cease to be available or are<br />
not working. The behaviour of other guests and<br />
the cancellation of services for any reason are<br />
beyond <strong>Exotik</strong>’s control. All efforts are made<br />
to ensure accuracy at the time of printing this<br />
brochure. Descriptions and photographs are<br />
representational only and are not a guarantee<br />
that everything will be exactly as depicted at<br />

be held responsible or liable for modifications<br />
that can take place after publication, including<br />
damage or beach erosion due to storms or tidal<br />

daily activities programs, spa services and<br />
bonus features are on a first-come, first-serve<br />
basis and may require reservations. Certain<br />
services and activities may be withdrawn<br />
by the hotel for reasons such as weather<br />
conditions and number of participants. All<br />
withdrawn features are non-refundable.<br />
Spa services are at additional charge unless<br />
otherwise stated. Room upgrade bonus features<br />
are subject to space availability at checkin and<br />
cannot be guaranteed prior to your arrival.<br />

requirements, regardless of flight times,<br />
hotel check-in is normally after 3:00 pm on the<br />
day of arrival. Hotel check-out time is normally<br />
12 noon. All-inclusive privileges begin at checkin<br />

increase be greater than 7%, you have the right<br />

increase at least 30 days prior to your departure<br />
date. In the event of an error in published<br />

the change or to cancel for a full refund of all<br />
monies received by <strong>Exotik</strong>.<br />
Special Needs Passengers & Medical Recommendations:<br />
Some tours can be tiring depending<br />
on the passenger’s state of health. Because of<br />
the intense heat in some countries, frequent<br />
travel and change of food, we recommend that<br />
you be in good health and rested when leaving<br />
Canada. Some drugs are not available abroad.<br />
You must carry a sufficient amount of your<br />
medication, whether it is prescribed or can<br />
be purchased over the counter. Ensure your<br />
medication is in your hand luggage. Never<br />
pack it in your suitcase or give it to someone<br />
else to carry it for you. Make sure you have<br />
your prescription paper on you while travelling.<br />
Unfortunately, in its regular programs,<br />
<strong>Exotik</strong> does not provide special care or special<br />
assistance to individuals suffering from a<br />
disability or food allergies. Some hotels<br />
and countries are not equipped to provide<br />
special care to clients with a disability. Any<br />
person with a disability or incapacity who<br />
requires special attention or treatments must<br />
notify <strong>Exotik</strong> in writing at the time of<br />
booking and provide a declaration signed by his<br />
or her doctor stating that he or she is capable of<br />
participating in the activities of the tour and can<br />
move without the assistance of another member<br />
of the group or the wholesaler’s representative.<br />
<strong>Exotik</strong> reserves the right to refuse a passenger<br />
who cannot complete the trip or for whom the<br />
trip represents a danger to the passenger or<br />
to others.<br />
Notice of Claims:<br />
You must notify <strong>Exotik</strong>, in writing by registered<br />
mail, of any claim you may have, or claim to<br />
have, against <strong>Exotik</strong>, within 30 days from the<br />
event giving rise to the claim. Should you not<br />
file a written complaint with <strong>Exotik</strong> within 30<br />
days from the end of your vacation, you will be<br />
presumed to be satisfied with the services<br />
received and to have waived any and all claims<br />
that you may have had against <strong>Exotik</strong>. <strong>Exotik</strong><br />
will not respond to any claims or demands made<br />
after the expiration of the 30-day delay. You may<br />
not commence any legal proceeding against<br />
<strong>Exotik</strong> unless you have submitted a notice as set<br />
out above. Under no circumstances shall <strong>Exotik</strong><br />
be liable to you for an amount in excess of the<br />
total amount paid to <strong>Exotik</strong> for your vacation<br />
Compliance: You agree to comply with any<br />
reasonable instructions issued by <strong>Exotik</strong> or<br />
its representatives during your vacation. Any<br />
person acting in a way that compromises the<br />
enjoyment of other travellers on the trip or who<br />
refuses to follow instructions given by <strong>Exotik</strong><br />
representatives may be obliged to return to<br />
Canada before the end of the trip, at his or her<br />
own expense.<br />

any other service provider has the authority to<br />

and Conditions.<br />

without limitation, any unresolved claims<br />
concerning any services booked through, or<br />
provided by, <strong>Exotik</strong> and claims made directly<br />
by you or by anyone connected to you or claiming<br />
through you) relating to or arising from<br />
your purchase of a holiday, or the goods and<br />
services provided by or through <strong>Exotik</strong>, must be<br />
decided by one arbitrator, to the exclusion of the<br />
Courts. The arbitration shall be governed by the<br />
National Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute<br />
of Canada, Inc. or its successors or a replacement<br />

shall be in the province in which you reside.<br />
The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and<br />
binding upon the parties. The present arbitration<br />
clause applies to all claims made as part of<br />
a class action or other representative action, it<br />
