Coronavirus Safety Measures
We would love you to enjoy your holiday with us, and in these unusual times, we would like to make you aware of the measures that we are taking to minimise the risks to you and your party when travelling. You will receive some additional more comprehensive information from us in your ticket pack before you travel, but here are the main steps we are taking to help keep you safe.
In-resort, all our base personnel, transfer drivers, airport representatives and other staff will be fully briefed and trained on personal protective measures and will comply, where practically possible, with all recommended and required additional local safety measures. As everyone knows, these rules and regulations change regularly, so please be aware that additional measures may be in place when you travel, and hopefully, they will decrease soon and become a thing of the past, with brighter times ahead.
