Explanation of participation and security risks
I. Tips for Registering for a Tour
1. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months before participating in overseas tours. Any issues with your documents that prevent visa issuance or entry/exit permits will result in losses borne by you.
2. Visa issuance and entry permissions are at the discretion of the relevant authorities. Providing accurate and truthful information is crucial. Delays or failures due to personal reasons or incomplete/incorrect materials will be your responsibility.
3. Embassies and consulates frequently update visa requirements. We will keep you informed and advise on necessary supplements. Delays or denials due to incomplete or incorrect information will be your liability.
4. Obtaining a visa from the destination country's embassy or consulate is not the only requirement for international travel. You must also pass through border checkpoints and obtain entry/exit authorization from other countries' immigration authorities. Failure to secure these authorizations due to personal reasons will be your responsibility.

1. Accurately disclose your health condition and past medical history to the travel agency. Based on this, we will recommend suitable tour packages and advise a medical examination.
