Explanation of participation and security risks

I. Tips for Registering for a Tour

1. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months before participating in overseas tours. Any issues with your documents that prevent visa issuance or entry/exit permits will result in losses borne by you.

2. Visa issuance and entry permissions are at the discretion of the relevant authorities. Providing accurate and truthful information is crucial. Delays or failures due to personal reasons or incomplete/incorrect materials will be your responsibility.

3. Embassies and consulates frequently update visa requirements. We will keep you informed and advise on necessary supplements. Delays or denials due to incomplete or incorrect information will be your liability.

4. Obtaining a visa from the destination country's embassy or consulate is not the only requirement for international travel. You must also pass through border checkpoints and obtain entry/exit authorization from other countries' immigration authorities. Failure to secure these authorizations due to personal reasons will be your responsibility.

II. Health Status and Excursion Activity Risks:

1. Accurately disclose your health condition and past medical history to the travel agency. Based on this, we will recommend suitable tour packages and advise a medical examination. If you choose to participate despite our advice, we assume you are medically fit. Individuals aged 65 and above should be accompanied by family members, and minors by their parents or guardians. We may also require relevant individuals to purchase travel insurance..

2. In case of personal or property safety emergencies abroad, seek assistance from the tour operator, local government, or relevant organizations. Costs incurred will be your responsibility.

3. In case of a sudden illness during the trip, the travel agency will make every effort to arrange for your prompt medical treatment. However, due to the unique conditions and time constraints of outbound tourism, the agency may not always be able to fully cater to your specific requirements or take you to your designated medical institutions. Nevertheless, the travel agency will adhere to the principle of timely treatment and follow the advice of professional medical personnel to ensure that you are assisted to the most appropriate medical facilities. Please note that any costs incurred during this process will be borne by you. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Overseas, there is no equivalent occupation to a nurse, so if you require constant accompaniment during treatment, kindly inform the travel agency promptly. The agency can assist in arranging for your immediate family to visit you, but please be aware that any costs incurred will be your responsibility. Therefore, it is crucial to provide the travel agency with your emergency contact details in your home country before departure, in case of emergencies.

5. In the event of an accident abroad where you require the accompaniment and care of your domestic relatives, kindly contact the travel agency promptly. The agency will then reach out to your relatives, based on your needs, and assist them in completing the necessary procedures for leaving the country as swiftly as possible. However, due to the nature of temporary and emergency travel abroad, the agency cannot guarantee the same prices as the tour package or other preferential rates for air tickets, hotels, and related expenses.
