CAUSES OF FORCE MAJEURE and UNUSED SERVICES
In case of unexpected operational difficulties or reasons of force majeure (local strikes, changes in opening
hours, unexpected closures, unexpected delays or similar problems) Virtuous Travel & Concierge may be
forced to change or cancel one or more activities planned. Virtuous Travel & Concierge reserves the right to
cancel an activity without prior notice due to reasons mentioned above with the only obligation of
reimbursing the cost of the unexecuted activity. In the event of unused services on customer’s decision,
Virtuous Travel & Concierge reserves the right to give no reimbursement.
INSURANCE
Virtuous Travel & Concierge strongly encourages all clients confirmed on any travel program, whether
domestic or abroad, to apply for a travel Insurance. This will prevent any claims in the event of medical
emergencies, trip cancellations, lost or stolen luggage, and other travel-related issues. It is highly
recommended an insurance that also covers any impact related to COVID-19 restrictions like cancellations,
contagions, quarantine or any other major causes related to it. Travel Insurance can reimburse you for non-
refundable air and land costs, if you have to cancel a trip due to personal or family illness or accident or
COVID-19 (if applicable).
Virtuous Travel & Concierge cannot be held responsible for any losses, expenses or personal items left
unattended during any travel program.
