It is with great pleasure I introduce to you our
new 2016 brochure in our 53rd Year at your
service. We are an Irish family run company
and your satisfaction is our main aim. We aim
to offer tours which we ourselves have taken
or would take.
This year we are offering a wider selection of
tours including cruise from Ireladn, flights and
hotel and tailor made holidays. We have
always aimed to provide the best value in
travel and tours and this year we are delighted
to
announce
our
new
website
www.pabtravel.com with plenty of
bargains to be found - ideal for that holiday or
visit to relatives in the UK or even Australia.
New for 2016 we have amongst other a
delightfull tour visiting Portmerrion, the lovely
unusual Welsh town used in the filming of the
TV series “The Prisoner”. with its Italian
architecture.
In the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of the
Somme where many Irishmen fought and
died, we are pleased to offer our new Somme
& Flanders Fields tour - a delight even for
those with limited interest in history.
We hope you have a great holiday and from
all at PAB Tours we extend a “Cead Mile

County Wexford for thirty days against vastly
superior forces. The town also played a part in the

Lourdes
A full religious programme will be organised with an
orientation tour of the Sanctuary area, afternoon blessing
of the sick procession, evening Torchlight Processions,
and walking tour to Boly Mill, Cachot, Hospice, Parish
Church and the Cemetery where St. Bernadette’s parents
are buried. Our daily programme with Mass will allow a
time for personal visits to the Baths, Grotto, Basilicas and
Stations of the Cross.
Marian Pilgrimages, in conjunction with PAB Tours believe
we have found the best balance between group participation
and giving pilgrims the space to explore and fulfil their own
inner pilgrimage.
Optional tours to Bartres, Gavarine or Betharram will be
available during your stay in Lourdes.
With us we believe all aspects of your pilgrimage will be
covered; from the beginning a representative will be on
hand to help at your departure airport. On arrival at your
airport in France you will be met by our guides and escorted
to your hotel in Lourdes, where you can avail of our local
representative at any time, giving you peace of mind to let
you get on with enjoying your Pilgrimage.

the maximum value for your
holiday. The itineraries in the
brochure are given as a broad
guideline of what you can
expect on your tour and tour
excursions will be picked to suit
both the day of operation and

requirements.
Occasionally, due to adverse
weather, traffic or operational
reasons it may be necessary to
alter tour itineraries. These
alterations will be made only to
ensure the smooth running of
your tour and to ensure your
safety and enjoyment.
With your comfort and safety as
a priority and in line with current
Irish, UK & European law we
ask that all passengers use
seatbelts where they are fitted.

you will be refunded the amount
paid. No other compensation
will be payable. Please note
that on some coaches legroom

European Hotel
Meals
Most European hotels offer a

choices. Meals will normally be
local dishes which may differ
for those normally taken in
Ireland or the UK. For example
pasta / rice may be offered in
place of potatoes and
breakfafast

be
a
continental breakfast.
Safety Standards
It is the requirement and standard
of the Country in which any service

provided which apply to those
services and not those of Ireland.
As a general rule, those

familiarise yourself with hotel fire
escapes route.

so that we can make the
necessary changes to your
holiday documentation. A fee
may be payable.

Booking Conditions
Please read very carefully the conditions set out hereunder before signing. These conditions form the basis for your
contract with the organiser PAB TOURS and are legally binding.
In this Booking Form the word “Organiser” means the
person who arranges your transport, accommodation
etc., and who offers it as a holiday. “Consumer”
means you, the person who buys or agrees to buy the
holiday or any person on whose behalf you agree to
purchase the holiday and who is listed on the Booking
Form or any other person to whom you transfer a
holiday which you have bought. The “Retailer” is the
person who sells the holiday to you; he is not
responsible for organising the flight, shipping,
accommodation or other component parts of the
holiday.
1. The Contract
(a) No contract shall arise until the Organiser has
received this complete Booking Form together with a
deposit or full payment for the holiday and has issued
written confirmation of its acceptance to the Retailer.
The terms of contract are contained solely in this
booking form, the Organiser’s confirmation, the
Organiser’s Brochure or other descriptive material, any
airline or sailing ticket issued and the itinerary issued
by the Organiser.
(b) The Organiser reserves the right to terminate this
contract if the behaviour or conduct of a Consumer
either prior to or during a holiday is likely to
endanger the safety or well being of other Consumers
in his company or that of the Consumer himself.
2. Disabled Persons
It shall be the Consumer’s responsibility to disclose to
the Organiser any physical or mental condition of a
member of his party which may be relevant. The
Organiser reserves the right to decline to provide a
holiday for a disabled person where in the Organiser’s
opinion that holiday would be inconsistent with the
special needs of a disabled person.
3. Payment
The holiday must be paid for in full at least 8 weeks
before the scheduled date of departure. If it is not
paid by that date, the Organiser shall have the option
to cancel the holiday. If the Organiser exercises that
option or if the Consumer cancels the holiday (which
cancellation must be notified in writing to the
Organiser) the following cancellation charges are
payable by the Consumer:
More than 6 weeks before the departure date any
deposit paid shall be forfeited.
Within 6-4 weeks of departure: 30% of the cost of
the holiday is forfeited.
Within 4-2 weeks of departure: 45% of the cost of
the holiday is forfeited.
Within 2 weeks - 8 Days of departure: 60% of the
cost of the holiday is forfeited.
For any of the above (8 days - 6 weeks) where the deposit
amount is greater than the value of the percentage amount
shown the amount forfeited will be the deposit amount.
Within 7 Days of departure: 100% of the holiday
cost is forfeited.
All cancellation charges apply to each person covered
by a booking. Any insurance premium paid is not
refundable.
4.Substitution
(a) Where the consumer is prevented from proceeding
with the holiday, he may transfer his booking, having
first given the Organiser or Retailer reasonable notice
(8 weeks) in writing of his intention to do so before
the departure date. The transferee from the Consumer
must sign a Booking Form and comply with any other
requirements of the Organiser applicable to the
holiday.
(b) A Consumer who transfers a holiday booking shall
be jointly and severally liable, with the transferee, to
the Organiser or Retailer for payment of any balance
due in respect of the holiday and for a substitution
fee of €32 per person substituted, subject to a
maximum of €126 per booking (or such other greater
sum as may be authorised).
5. Alteration By The Consumer
If after acceptance by the Organiser a Consumer
wishes to alter a holiday, the Organiser will use its
best endeavours, if practicable, to facilitate that
change. A request for alteration must be in writing
and must be accompanied by a payment of €10 per
person, which payments is not refundable. If the
alteration is impracticable the original holiday
arrangements shall continue to apply. If some only of
the Consumers booked request a change, which is
found to be practicable, a price adjustment for all
Consumers on the same booking may be payable and
must be discharged on the date shown in the
Organiser’s written confirmation of such charge. If
default is made by the Consumers in complying with
the foregoing requirements, the Organiser shall have
the rights referred to in clause 3.
6. Special Requests
Special requests (e.g. ground floor accommodation,
seaview, etc.) shall be communicated by the Consumer
in writing to the Organiser or Retailer at the time of
making the booking. The Organiser shall use
reasonable endeavours to fulfil such requests. The
Organiser shall only be obliged to provide services in
accordance with special requests where it specifically
commits itself in writing to do so. No liability shall
attach to the Organiser for failure to comply with a
special request which has not been confirmed by it in
writing.
7. Accommodation On Request
Where accommodation is “on request” an additional
administration charge of €13 will be payable by the
Consumer. This charge will be debited to the cost of
the holiday once a booking is confirmed. If the
Organiser is unable to obtain the particular
accommodation requested by the Consumer, the
Organiser shall take all reasonable steps to make a
comparable alternative available to the Consumer. If
the accommodation requested by the Consumer cannot
be confirmed or an alternative offered or if the
alternative offered is not acceptable to the Consumer,
the Consumer shall be entitled to a refund of all
monies paid to the Organiser less a €13
administration charge.
8. Alteration By The Organiser
(a) The Organiser reserves the right to alter, change,
curtail or cancel a holiday.
(b) If as a consequence of “force majeure” (as
hereinafter defined in sub-paragraph (f) of the clause),
the Organiser is obliged to curtail, alter, extend or
cancel a holiday, the Consumer shall not be at liberty
to maintain a claim for compensation or otherwise for
any loss arising as a consequence of the said
curtailment, alteration, extension or cancellation of the
holiday.
(c) The Organiser has a minimum number of bookings
required for a programme of holidays to operate. The
Organiser’s obligation to provide that programme shall
be contingent upon the Organiser receiving and
maintaining that minimum number of bookings. In the
event that the Organiser does not receive the
minimum number of bookings or having received such
minimum number has that number reduced by reason
of cancellations or transfers by Consumers or
otherwise, the Organiser shall be entitled to cancel or
curtail the relevant programme at any time up to 4
weeks prior to the departure date and the Consumer
shall not be entitled to make a claim for loss arising
as a consequence of cancellation or curtailment in
these circumstances. The Organiser shall notify the
Consumer within seven days of any cancellation or
curtailment necessitated by the foregoing
circumstances.
(d) If prior to the departure date there is a
cancellation, alteration, change or curtailment relating
to a holiday which results in more than 18 hours
change in the time of departure, or a change of
resort or in the type of accommodation offered, or
some other change which fundamentally alters the
holiday, the Organiser shall, if practicable, offer an
alternative comparable holiday of at least similar
standard or shall refund the Consumer all monies paid.
Unless within seven days of issue of the offer of an
alternative holiday it is accepted by the Consumer in
writing, the Organiser shall assume that the Consumer
has declined such offer and the Consumer shall only
be entitled to return of payments made.
(e) Where the Organiser makes an alteration in the
holiday as contemplated in sub-paragraph (d) of this
clause the Consumer shall be entitled to receive
compensation in accordance with the scale set out in
this sub-paragraph. No compensation shall be payable
where the alteration is for the reasons referred to in
sub-paragraphs (b) or (c) of this clause. Notification
Period Prior to Departure Date: Compensation per
Person:
Within 4 Weeks €10.00
Within 2 Weeks €15.00
(f) In this booking form, the term “force majeure”
means Acts of God, natural disasters, adverse weather
conditions, fire , strike or other destruction of any
vessel, craft or vehicle to be used in connection with
a holiday, riots, acts of war, civil commotion, exercise
of legislative, municipal, military or other authority,
strikes, industrial action, requisition of equipment,
mechanical breakdown, shortage of fuel, insolvency or
default of any carrier or service connected with a
holiday, fraud perpetrated against the Organiser or
any other reason beyond the control of the Organiser.
(g) We reserve the right to substitute visits, entertainment and other features when establishments are closed
or cannot be visited for reasons beyond our control.
(h) When a scheduled day tour is unable to operate
and no alternative or extended touring is offered a maximum compensation of €15 per person per full day tour
will apply.
9. Insurance
It is a condition of this contract that the Consumer is
covered by travel insurance, except holidays within the
state. Insurance will be arranged at time of booking
unless otherwise specified by the consumer. In the
arranging of insurance cover for the Consumer the
Organiser is acting as the agent of the relevant
insurer and shall not be responsible to the Consumer
for any default by the insurer under that policy. All
claims made against the insurance policy shall be
made directly to the insurer. The Consumer shall be
responsible for making any special or increased
insurance arrangements which he deems necessary.
10. Price Variation
All prices are stated in Euro and are based on tariffs
and exchange rates current and appropriate at the
time of publication (£0.77). If any of these vary the
cost of the holiday may increase or decrease
accordingly. Any such increase / decrease must be
paid by or refunded to the Consumer, however no
variations shall be applied where their combined effect
would result in an increase / decrease of less than
