A name change form must be completed and submitted to mayesa@istsours.com. IST assumes no responsibility with respect to monies between participants.

CHANGE FEES: If you need to make any flight changes within 30 days of departure and your airline tickets were purchased through IST, you will incur a $50 change fee in addition to the fees that the airline may charge. A change form will be required for all change requests. You may request a change form from mayesa@istours.com. Once the form is completed, please submit back to mayesa@istours.com for processing.

EXPENSES: Prices include only those services specifically stated in your tour package. Items such as room service, telephone calls, optional activities and other items not specifically stated in your package, are not included. Any tips or gratuities not specifically included in the total price are at your discretion.

PRICES: Prices stated in your brochure are based on airfares and rates effective at time of booking and reflect a discount for payment by cash, check or money order.

Payments by credit card (Visa, MasterCard or American Express) will incur a convenience fee of 3.1% of your total. Airfares and rates are subject to change. Changes could include fuel surcharges, tax increases and other unforeseeable fees assessed by the air carrier. Any deviations from brochure program dates (May 2 or 3 – May 7, 2025) may incur supplemental charges (e.g. transfers and additional room nights).

CANCELLATIONS: If you cancel your reservation, your right to refund is limited, as set forth below. Cancellations must be made in writing and must be emailed to mayesa@istours.com. A $500.00 per person cancellation fee plus any hotel and airline penalties will apply up to January 31, 2025. From February 1– March 14, 2025, a cancellation charge of $1,000.00 per person plus any hotel and airline penalties will apply. From March 15, 2025, to date of departure, the registration fee is non-refundable and may result in loss of the entire trip cost. There are no refunds for no-shows. It is your responsibility to confirm your air flights have been canceled prior to scheduled departure. Upon cancellation of the transportation where you, the customer, are not at fault and have not canceled in violation of the terms and conditions of the contract for transportation or travel costs, all sums paid to IST for services not received by you, will be promptly refunded by IST to you (or the organization who paid on your behalf) within 14 days after the cancellation, unless you otherwise advise IST in writing. The rights and remedies made available under this contract are in addition to any other rights or remedies available under applicable law. However, we offer refunds under this contract with the express understanding that receipt of that refund by a passenger waives any additional remedies.
