COVID Booking Notes
Leisure Travel and Holidays to Belize and Guatemala from the UK are legal and permitted as of October
11th 2021 – and as of the time of writing Belize and Guatemala are accepting UK travellers; and Belize
and Guatemala attractions are open.
However, if after booking and paying for this trip – if for reason of any Covid related Travel Restriction (in
place now and not later lifted, or imposed subsequent to booking) whether imposed by UK or Belize
Governments the trip cannot proceed as scheduled and advertised where the Earth Trip had to
subsequently impose a Covid-enforced cancellation, the client would qualify for an ABTA-approved
Refund Credit Note and use it to postpone the trip to a later date at no extra cost until such time as travel
was possible at a new and mutually acceptable date; OR alternatively the client would qualify for a full
cash refund according to their preference.
Any, post booking, dis-inclination to travel on the part of the client (Covid-related or otherwise) where The
Earth Trip can still legally and logistically and satisfactorily run the trip – then normal standard Earth Trip
Cancellation T&Cs apply and cost recovery will be subject to client’s own travel insurance and whether
such travel insurance covers in the specific circumstances that prevail.
Note: Under current guidelines a country with high Covid cases is not a reason on its own to qualify for a
full cash refund – but moving from open status to Red would be.
If you are ill with Covid yourself pre your trip and can’t travel you must claim through your travel
insurance if you have to cancel but if the Earth Trip cannot operate your trip due to Covid travel
restrictions we will work with you to rearrange and postpone your trip or offer a full refund according to
your preference.
If the UK government placed Belize or Guatemala on the Red List while you were away where UK
government hotel quarantine was required on return this would be at the cost and risk of the booking
