With the latest news emerging about the novel coronavirus, you may have some questions about any trips that you have planned coming up soon. For trips in March, April, and May, we are recommending postponement, as information and government restrictions are changing quickly. We don’t want anyone to be stuck anywhere they don’t want to be. We are hopeful that by June this will have blown over, and are not recommending postponement for those traveling in June yet, however we are monitoring the situation, and will let you know if this changes.
We will try to answer the questions we have been receiving most here, however please feel free to contact us or talk to your Travel Designer if you have other questions:[/vc_column_text]
