Planning and booking your annual holiday can be one of the biggest financial decisions you make each year, with this in mind it is essential that you research your planned trip thoroughly.

Step 1

Firstly, there is our dedicated fishing holiday web site, www.anglingdirectholidays.com where you can browse an electronic version of this brochure. Inside, as you turn the pages, selected countries will automatically show a preview of a DVD or the holidays that are available for that country. There’s also a link at the bottom of the page to take you to the full country information detailing geography, climate and history. On each tour page you will find a link that will provide you with full tour details, suggested itineraries and a description of services on offer. If you still have a question, you can use the online contact us form.

Step 2

If you do not have access to the internet and you would like printed tour details, tailor made itineraries, free country DVD’s or you just simply have some questions and want to speak personally to any of our travel consultants who have experienced this trip, then telephone +44 (0)1603 407596 and they will be pleased to take your call.

Step 3

Once you are ready to book your holiday, our consultants will take down all particulars and also a deposit payment. Please make sure that before making any booking that you have read our terms and conditions either on our web site or on the inside back cover of this brochure. At the time of the booking we will ask you to correctly spell the first and last name of each traveling member. Some flights will need to be ticketed at the time of booking and due to airline regulations no name changes can be made, once a ticket has been issued. On receipt of the deposit we will send the lead booker a Booking Form and a deposit receipt invoice which becomes the legal contract between Angling Direct Holidays and your party.

Step 4

Please remember that once you have booked and paid your deposit, that you and any other traveling member should take out adequate insurance. Remember that holiday insurance is not just to cover you while you are away. Once you have taken out a policy you are covered up to the point of return, so should something happen that prevents you from taking your trip, your holiday insurance might cover financial loss of either your deposit or full balance. For help and advice either contact one of our consultants or alternatively check out the insurance section on our web site.

Step 5

Angling Direct Holidays in conjunction with our partners Travcour Ltd can help you obtain any visas that are required before travel. If you visit our web site and click on the Travcour Logo, you will be able to download and print all your visa application forms, you will then receive a £5 discount off the administration charges.

Step 6

We pride ourselves in being able to offer our clients the complete holiday package, which includes any airport hotels or airport car parking. With one phone call you can do it all, our travel consultants will do the rest.

All brochure/website descriptions are made in good faith and every care is taken to ensure their accuracy. However, in view of the detail contained therein and the fact that brochures/website's are necessarily prepared/created some time in advance of distribution of the Holidays; advertised facilities, amenities, entertainment and schedules may, on occasion, be restricted, curtailed, changed or cancelled.

ADH CHANGE/CANCEL YOUR TOUR

it is not our intention to make changes to, or cancel your tour once we have accepted your booking. However, from time to time it may be necessary and we reserve the right to do so. Most changes are minor and in all cases we will tell you, as soon as reasonably possible, before the date on which you are due to depart. Occasionally, we may need to make a major change. 'Major Changes' include a change of your UK departure airport, resort, accommodation (where the new accommodation is of a lower official classification), or your time of departure or return by more than 24 hours. If we do make any major changes, you must let us know as soon as possible if you wish to accept the changes or cancel the holiday. Where we have accepted your booking and we find that we have to cancel it (for any reason other than your own choice) before it is due to start or we cancel the holiday because you do not wish to accept a major change by us, you can then either: a) Take a replacement holiday (subject to availability) with us of equivalent quality or higher quality provided that you pay the additional amounts due b) Take a replacement holiday with us of lower quality (subject to availability) and we will refund the difference between the sum you  paid to us and the price of the replacement holiday; or c) Ask us to refund to you all payments you have made to us. If you accept a major change or where we have had to cancel your holiday and you choose either of the options in paragraphs (a) or (b) above, we will pay you compensation in accordance with Scale A below. If you choose the option (c) above we will pay you compensation in accordance with Scale B below. Compensation will not be paid where the change or cancellation is made as the result of unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care.

Period before departure date that notification is given by us:	Compensation per person Scale A	Compensation per person Scale B
0-7 days	£50	£25
8-14 days	£40	£20
15-28 days	£30	£15
29-42 days	£20	£10
43-56 days	£10	£5
More than 56 days	£5	£0

For children in respect of whom reduced rates have been charged, credit/compensation will be paid on a pro-rata basis of the adult rate. Please note in all cases our liability in respect of significant changes and cancellations is limited to offering you the above mentioned options and where applicable the compensation payments set out above. We regret that we cannot be held responsible for incidental/consequential costs or expenses you may incur as a result of any changes or cancellations. No compensation is payable for minor changes.

STANDARDS

Standards vary and we do appreciate people have differing requirements. It must be remembered that some of our more exotic, pioneering tours will include trips to remote locations with limited facilities. All tours have been inspected by an Angling Direct Holidays representative. If you have any doubts as to suitability please speak to one of our travel consultants.

BAGGAGE

Remember that you are not allowed to have sharp objects on any flights or ferry crossing, nor any flammable liquids or gasses within your hand luggage. On most flights there is a restriction on the size of hand luggage; in most cases it must not exceed 5 Kilos. Luggage that is to be put in the hold is generally around 23 Kilos per person. Some airlines also carry a baggage piece limit, if you are unsure please Contact us and we can advise, as this will vary between flight operators.

SPECIAL NEEDS

We will do our utmost to cater for your requirements. In this respect we do require full knowledge of any disabilities or special requirements. Only then can we state if a particular holiday or accommodation is suitable.

WEATHER

We all know only to well that weather can have a major impact, not only on your holiday stay but also on the actual fishing. Delays due to bad weather will be handled in the most professional way. We promote all our holiday destinations at the favored seasonal times which should be subject to favorable conditions, however, these cannot be guaranteed as this is out of our control. Please note, for safety reasons the guide's decision on any weather conditions is final. On any days lost because of bad weather, if Angling Direct Holidays receives any refund for any days fishing lost, this will be passed on to the client. Angling Direct Holidays cannot be held responsible for any inconvenience or cost resulting from bad weather.

DATA PROTECTION

In order to process your booking and ensure that your travel arrangements run smoothly and meet your requirements, we need to use information you provide such as name, address, e-mail, any special needs/dietary requirements etc. We take full responsibility for ensuring that your details are properly protected. We will need to pass on your details to flight companies, hotel operators etc and as such they will in turn be required to protect your details as required by the data protection act.

OUR LIABILITY

We cannot accept any liability for any delay in your outward or inward flight/s, whether the cancellation or delay is caused by the weather, airline rescheduling, industrial action or mechanical failure. We will give no refunds or compensation for lost time and services from the itinerary.
We accept responsibility for any death, bodily injury or illness caused to you as a result of the proven negligent acts and/or omissions of our employees and agents. Except as provided in paragraphs (a) to (c) below, we accept responsibility for any damage caused to you as a result of any failure to perform, or improper performance of the services we have agreed to provide to you. We will not be responsible where failure or improper performance is not due to our fault   because: a) Such failure is attributable to you or any member of your party: b) Such failure is attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the services to be provided to you and is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or c) Such failure is due to unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised, or to an event which we, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall. Such circumstances or events include (without limitation) war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions. Subject to the limitation of liability set out in the following paragraph, our liability to you for any loss and damage which you may suffer (other than personal injury resulting from the non-performance or improper performance of the services included in the holiday) is limited to twice the price of your holiday. Our liability to you for the non-performance or improper performance by air carriers, sea carriers, rail carriers or hotel keepers of any services to be provided by them as part of your holiday is limited to the amount you can validly recover against such carrier or hotel keeper: a) In accordance with any applicable domestic law or the laws of the United Kingdom. For claims other than personal injury arising out of travel and carriage within the United Kingdom or which is otherwise not International; and b) For all claims arising out of any other travel, carriage or accommodations, in accordance with the International Convention which governs such service, including those which have not been ratified by the United Kingdom. We do not accept liability for any claim (other than claims for personal injury arising from the non-performance or improper performance of any service) in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise for consequential, economic or indirect loss or damage. Nothing in these booking conditions affects your statutory rights. Please note that where the cause of your loss, damage or injuries is due to our agents, suppliers or sub-contractors, our acceptance of any liability is subject to you assigning to us your rights against them and to your co-operating with us in any legal action we may take against them. We accept responsibility for the proper performance of the obligations in the contract between you and the company even where these obligations are performed by one of our suppliers. However we do not accept responsibility for any damage/injury caused that are attributable to your own actions, acts of some other party unconnected with the contract services or where the damage/injury results from events/circumstances which are outside our control and could not be reasonably foreseen. For injury claims, our liability is in all circumstances limited to twice the total price of the tour. In agreeing to these terms you accept this limit on our liability because it helps keep the prices of the tours as low as possible.
