IST Spring Break Confidence Guarantee (2021 Travel)



During these uncertain times, we realize that making an investment in an IST Spring Break Trip can be a difficult decision.  That is why we created the IST Spring Break Confidence Guarantee!  We want you to feel confident that we will give you the best possible options for cancellations, trip changes, etc. during these challenging COVID-19 times.

 

Special Flexibility for Groups and Tour Participants

For 2021 Groups – If closures, government regulations, or travel restrictions due to COVID-19 prevent the delivery of the Group’s tour date, the Group can move or postpone the tour with no fees change fees or choose to cancel the trip. Should a group decide to cancel, each participant will pay only a $300 cancellation fee for air tours and $150 for hotel only packages.  Otherwise, all normal terms & conditions and penalty fees apply.

 

Special Flexibility for Travel Destinations

For 2021 Groups – If closures, government regulations, or travel restrictions due to COVID-19 prevent travel to your destination, your group can request to change to one of our other destinations without any change fee.  Simply pay any difference in price or receive any difference in price back if the requested destination is less.

 

Special IST Spring Break Insurance

As part of your IST Spring Break tour package, each participant receives a comprehensive travel insurance policy coverage for trip cancellation, trip delay, lost baggage, and medical injury/sickness.  Upon final payment, you’ll receive the policy with exact coverages and/or limitations.
