Can my tour operator change the price after I have booked?
Your travel company can only increase the price of your booking if they have specifically included this in their booking conditions and only in certain circumstances.
The price can only be increased for:
• Increases in the price of fuel or other power sources
• Increases in taxes or fees such as tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports; and
• Exchange rates relating to the package
If the travel company has reserved the right to increase the price in these circumstances you have a corresponding right to a reduction in price if these elements of the price decrease e.g. the exchange rate moves in your favour.
If the price rise is more than 8% of the total price of the package you have the right to terminate your contract without penalty or accept a substitute package if the travel company offers you one.
