(Opening icon:🌄）
I. Core Rules: How to Calculate Cancellation Fees?
According to the 2026 Xinjiang tourism industry standards and the newly revised clauses of the Tourism Law, cancellation fees for group tours must adhere to the following principles:
Key Basis for Refunds:
Contractual Agreement Takes Precedence:If the itinerary confirmation clearly indicates cancellation timeframes and deduction ratios (e.g., 20% deduction for cancellations 7 days before departure, 50% within 3 days), the contract shall be followed.
Deduction of Actual Costs:In the absence of contractual terms, travel agencies must provide proof of paid non-refundable expenses (e.g., hotel deposits, scenic spot reservation fees, transportation deposits), with the remaining balance refunded after deductions.
Handling Special Circumstances:
Force Majeure:If the trip is canceled due to extreme weather, public health events, or other force majeure factors, both parties shall negotiate refunds, with the travel agency recommending deductions for actual expenses incurred.
Travel Agency Breach:If cancellation occurs due to the agency’s failure to provide agreed services (e.g., unauthorized changes to attractions, downgrading accommodation standards), the agency must issue a full refund and assume liability for breach of contract.
Risk Warning:
Preserve Evidence Chain:Ensure retention of contracts, payment receipts, cancellation notices (written or email), and other materials to avoid impaired rights due to missing evidence.
Note:For solo travelers, Xinjiang Trailblazer International Travel Agency will make every effort to arrange shared rooms. If sharing is unavailable, a supplement will apply as per the contract.
