GAP Adventures: No More Local Payments

Say good bye to local payments! Effective October 1st, 2009, new Gap Adventures tour bookings will no longer require travellers to pay a portion of their tour price on Day 1 of their tour. What was previously broken out as a local payment for our tours is now being included in the upfront tour pricing as displayed on our website. The changeover period due to the implementation of this policy will mean that on day 1 there will be a mixture of travellers both paying and not paying the local payment, however please note that the overall cost to our travellers has not changed.
For anyone considering booking a tour in the near future, now is the time to lock in our 2009 rates with these local payment inclusive prices. Our 2010 pricing will be coming soon!
People who booked a tour before October 1st 2009 and are travelling after January 1st 2010 will have the option to either bring their local payment funds to their Tour Leader on Day 1, or to prepay their local payment before departure. Anyone who desires to prepay their local payment must contact their Adventure Specialist at Gap Adventures or Travel Agent by October 31st, 2009 to arrange prepayment. If you desire to still pay your local payment upon arrival, the amount to be paid will be clearly stated on your tour voucher and invoice documents.
Please be aware that certain park fees and local charges still apply on some tours, only the Gap Adventures local payment has been discontinued. This change is a result of feedback from our travellers and to streamline and simplify the payment process. [src.: GAP Adventures]
