With schools closed, the summer and winter breaks continue to remain key vacation periods for the majority of Indian travellers. Thomas Cook India\u2019s internal data further reveals a majority of consumers booking their vacations well in advance to ensure that their preferred dates are secured while making the best of early-bird offers. Keeping this in mind and to allow customers to rest assured that their holidays with Thomas Cook India are protected, Thomas Cook India\u2019s Trip Protection and Guaranteed Departures Programs have been designed to secure its customers&#8217; best interests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Under the Trip Protection Program, customers can avail reduced cancellation charges* for international bookings depending on the number of days prior to departure date and in view of any unforeseen circumstances; including visa rejection or delay, hospitalization or death of a family member and blood relatives. The program covers Thomas Cook India\u2019s Simply Series product offering as well as destinations such as Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe and USA. While normally customers stand to lose in case of any cancellations made between 46-59 days prior to departure, under this offering, the cancellation fee for the same period stands as low as 5%*. The Guaranteed Departures Program on the other hand ensures guaranteed group departure* to international destinations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Abraham Alapatt.
