Deviation / Change Fees:

Your Discover China tour package has been developed as a group movement in order to take advantage of specially negotiated prices when traveling as a group.

A fee of $100.00 will apply per deviation or change from the original program, plus the extra costs of the new or changed services.

If such changes necessitate cancellation of confirmed air or ground arrangements which are subject to cancellation charges, unrecoverable costs will be added to the change fee (this occurs likely within 30 days of departure when air tickets and other documents have been issued).
