📌 Explanation of Deposit and Itinerary Changes
The Silk Road Dream Express is a high-end customized tourism product involving multiple upfront resources such as special train berth locking, bulk hotel reservations, scenic area group channels, and dedicated vehicle dispatch. Once a deposit is paid, it is deemed as confirmation of seat reservation, and related costs have already begun to incur. If the itinerary is canceled due to personal reasons, the third-party costs already incurred (such as hotel penalty fees, non-refundable portions of train berths, prepaid scenic area tickets, etc.) shall be borne according to actual losses. Specific handling methods will be resolved through negotiation on a fair and reasonable basis in accordance with the Tourism Law of the People’s Republic of China and the contract terms signed by both parties.
