TRIP CONTRACTING PROCESS
After receiving and evaluating the TRAVEL OFFER, the CLIENT may choose to request CONFIRMATION OF THE TRIP, request the changes he deems appropriate or reject it.

   These General Conditions, made available to you at https://worldtripmaldives/generalterms-and-conditions/, will be incorporated into all the travel confirmations made by the ORGANIZER for the CLIENT, forming part of it and obliging both parties.

5.1. BY THE ORGANIZER
In case any of the contracted services cannot be confirmed due to lack of availability, another service of similar characteristics will be offered, whenever possible. In case there are no similar alternatives and the ORGANIZER offers alternatives with the new price, the CLIENT may accept or reject the new TRAVEL OFFER. The CLIENT must communicate the decision made to the ORGANIZER within one to three (1-3) days (depending on the date of arrival – which will be informed by the reservations team/agent) of the day on which the modification is notified. In the event that the CLIENT does not notify his decision in the indicated terms, it will be understood that he opts for the acceptance of the alternative. In the event that the CLIENT rejects the proposed change, the ORGANIZER will refund the amounts deposited to the date.
Due to maintenance conditions, weather conditions and operational changes, the details regarding descriptions of the types of meal plan, amenities and services offered may be altered at the will of the provider (resort, carrier, etc.) without prior notice. The ORGANIZER will not be responsible for these changes, if they do not imply non-compliance with the trip or its severe alteration.
In the specific case of overbooking by carriers or resorts, it will be the provider (airline, resort, etc.) that will be obliged to provide a service to the CLIENT with similar or better characteristics. The ORGANIZER will watch at all times for the fulfilment of the supplier’s obligations and will look for suitable alternatives in each case.

5.2. BY THE CUSTOMER
If at any time prior to the departure date, the CLIENT wishes to request changes to the TRAVEL OFFER regarding the destination, the room type, the means of transport, the duration, the dates, the itinerary of the contracted trip or any other detail of the reservation and the ORGANIZER can carry them out, the ORGANIZER can demand the payment of the justified additional expenses that said modification would have caused.
In the event that the CLIENT disagrees with the new price, the CLIENT may choose not to make changes or cancel the trip. In the event of cancellation, the corresponding management or reservations team, cancellation and penalty expenses conditions would apply.
Likewise, the CLIENT may transfer his reservation in the combined trip to a third BENEFICIARY, provided that the latter meets all the conditions required for the aforementioned trip, and must notify the ORGANIZER in writing at least 30 days before the start date of the trip, unless the parties agree to a shorter period in the particular conditions, being able, where appropriate, to transfer the costs derived from said assignment.

In the event that the trip offered is of inferior quality, the ORGANIZER must reimburse the CLIENT, where appropriate, based on the amounts already paid, the difference in price, according to the contract.

6.2. BY THE CUSTOMER
