But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed on this website. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected.

AITO
Travel Gallery is a member of AITO, both as a tour operator and as a travel agent. AITO has very high standards of membership. To contact the Association, visit www.aito.com or call 020 8744 9280. Below is the AITO Quality Charter:
Quality Charter: AITO is the association for independent and specialist holiday companies. Our member companies, usually owner-managed, strive to create overseas holidays with high levels of professionalism and a shared concern for quality and personal service. The Association encourages the highest standards in all aspects of tour operating.
Exclusive Membership: AITO sets criteria regarding ownership, finance and quality which must be satisfied before new companies are admitted to membership. All members are required to adhere to a Code of Business Practice which encourages high operational standards and conduct.
Financial Security : An AITO member is required to protect money paid by customers to the member for any holiday sold under the AITO logo. This protection applies to customers who are in the UK at the time of booking or to overseas customers who have booked directly with the member. Members have to comply with the UK Government Regulations in this respect. Members submit details of their bonding or guarantee arrangements to the Association on a regular basis.
Accurate Brochures and Website: All members do their utmost to ensure that all their brochures and other publications, print or electronic, clearly and accurately describe the holidays and services offered.
Professional service and continual improvements: All members are committed to high standards of service and believe in regular and thorough training of employees. Members continually seek to review and improve their holidays. They listen to their customers and always welcome suggestions for improving standards.
Monitoring Standards: AITO endeavours to monitor quality standards regularly. All customers should receive a post-holiday questionnaire the results of which are scrutinised by the Association.
Responsible Tourism: All members acknowledge the importance of AITO’s Responsible Tourism guidelines, which recognise the social, economic and environmental responsibilities of tour operating.
Customer Relations: All members endeavour to deal swiftly and fairly with any issues their customers may raise. In the unlikely event that a dispute between an AITO member and a customer cannot be settled amicably, AITO’s low-cost Independent Dispute Settlement Service may be called upon by either side to bring the matter to a speedy and acceptable conclusion.
Passport and Visas
Please note: passport and visa regulations can change and you should check with the relevant embassy or high commission well in advance of travel. It is your responsibility to be in possession of a valid passport and, if appropriate, a visa. Make sure you plan in advance as some visa applications can take some time to arrange. Please note that the names on the passport must match the name on the ticket, otherwise you may not be able to travel and insurance may be invalid. For the latest passport information, visit the UK Passport Agency at http://www.ukpa.gov.uk
Advance Passenger Information
A number of governments have introduced new requirements for air carriers to provide personal information about all travellers on their aircraft to the authorities before the aircraft leaves the UK. The data will be collected either at the airport when you check in or, depending on the airline, when you make the initial booking.
At the Travel Gallery we hold the passport data and frequent flyer details of many of our clients on file. Equally, we respect that some clients prefer that this data is not stored on our IT system. Please let us know if your preference is to provide this data to us, as and when we need it.

Visit your GP as soon as possible to check if you need any vaccinations or other preventive measures, such as malaria tablets. You are advised to visit your general practice surgery or a travel medicine clinic at least 6 weeks before you travel.

Travel Insurance
We recommend all clients take out comprehensive travel insurance for the duration of your trip. Please read your policy details carefully. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is adequate for your specific requirements. This should cover the cost of termination of the contract by the client or the cost of assistance, including repatriation, in the event of accident, illness or death. Travel Gallery does not sell travel insurance.
