General Terms and Conditions
1. Itinerary Design
Eco Dreams Travel (EDT) will design a personalized itinerary upon request, based on the client’s main interest, age, physical conditions, season, length of stay, and available accommodations. Once the client approves the final itinerary, Eco Dreams Travel will make the reservations. Eco Dreams Travel will immediately inform the client if there is no space available in any approved properties and propose modifications if necessary. The client will approve the final itinerary before the final trip commitment.
