to complain about any aspect of the tour
they should notify the Company's tour
representative or local agent who should
be able to deal with any problem quickly
and satisfactorily.
9.4
If for any reason a problem cannot be
resolved to the Customer's satisfaction
locally, the complaint should be detailed
in writing and forwarded to the Company,
at the address set out below, within 28
days of return from the tour. In the event
that the Customer does not notify the
Company of the complaint within this period,
this may affect the Company's ability
to investigate complaints and this may
impact on how the Customer's complaint
is dealt with.
9.5.1
Complaints will be investigated thoroughly
and every effort will be made to ensure
that the matter is resolved speedily and
amicably. In the event that the Company

independent arbiter to decide on an appropriate
outcome.
