Cancellation:
Cancellations must be made in a written format. If we receive cancellations 90 days prior to departure, we must charge $300 expedition fee per person. Within 90 days, the following schedule applies:

There will be no partial refunds for unused segments of the land program (including hotels, meals, domestic flights and trains, cruises, and sightseeing). Flights changed or cancelled following issuance of tickets are subject to additional fees.

Travel Protection Plan:
We strongly encourage you to obtain travel insurance. There are many insurers to choose from. East Travel uses the underwriting services of CSA Travel Protection. Application forms can be requested from East Travel. Please submit the Travel Protection application form directly to CSA.

China Visa and Tibet Visitor Permit:
All visitors to China and/or Tibet must possess a Chinese visa and/or Tibet Visitor's permit prior to departure from the US. Your passport must be valid for six months after the date of return. East Travel Consultants offers optional visa acquisition services for our clients at a cost of $100.00 per person. This includes the cost of visa acquisition, handling, and express mailing to the client. A China visa application form will be supplied and must be returned to East Travel along with your passports and one passport-type photograph no later than 40 days prior to departure.
If applying for the visa by yourself, please contact the nearest Chinese consulate office in your area.
