1. Legal Identity of the Company

VIP Luxury Tours – operated by T&A Group

VAT Number: NL868072904B01

The company provides intermediary services for booking travel-related services, including:

  • Travel packages

  • Other tourism services

The company operates as an independent Travel Booking Intermediary between the traveler and service providers.

2. Nature of the Contractual Relationship

For standalone services (such as flight tickets), the contract is directly between the traveler and the service provider (e.g. airline).

In case of combined travel services, applicable regulations may vary depending on the structure of the booking.


3. Non-Cancellable and Non-Refundable Policy

All bookings become final, confirmed, and strictly non-refundable once payment is completed.

Cancellations or refunds are not permitted under any circumstances, as bookings involve third-party service providers (airlines, hotels, transfers, visas, etc.).


4. Amendments (Changes)

Amendments (including travel dates, destinations, or passenger details) may be allowed subject to:

  • Availability

  • Supplier rules (airlines, hotels, etc.)

  • Applicable fees and fare differences

VIP Luxury Tours is not obligated to accept any modification once the booking is confirmed.


5. Cancellation Handling & Voucher Policy

In case of cancellation by the airline for any reason (operational, force majeure, or otherwise), the following applies:

5.1 Fare Difference Claims (if applicable)

If the traveler books an alternative flight at a higher cost, the company may — upon request — assist by submitting a claim to the airline through administrative and legal channels.

The company’s role is limited to support and follow-up only, without any financial liability.
The final decision regarding compensation remains solely with the airline or competent authority.

If approved, the airline will refund the fare difference using its own procedures.


5.2 Voucher (Credit Note) Policy

In such cases, a travel voucher will be issued instead of a cash refund under the following conditions:

  • The voucher value equals the full amount paid

  • Valid for 12 months from the original travel date

  • Usable:

    • For the same or different travelers

    • For any destination

    • On any airline available through the company

  • Can be used partially, with remaining balance valid until expiry

The voucher allows:

  • Changing destinations

  • Changing passenger names

  • Changing departure airports

The voucher cannot be exchanged for cash unless required by law or decided by the airline.

If the traveler uses only part of the services, no refund will be provided for any unused portion.
