Monograms' Travel Protection (Insurance):
Sometimes Things Happen
On Vacation
Thanks to some of the most experienced,
knowledgeable, friendly and efficient travel experts in the world you can leave
the details and worrying to us. We set very high standards and dedicate a lot of
time and effort to selecting and training our Local Hosts. No wonder our Local
Hosts and employees are the best in the business. Our mission is to make each
vacation you take with Monograms the best one you've ever taken.
Safety
You can rest assured that your safety is always the highest priority. When
events around the world affect travel and tourism, we work to keep our travelers
safe and comfortable. When necessary, we will modify itineraries or even cancel
vacations to keep our travelers safe. Of course when vacations are canceled due
to events beyond our control, we work hard to accommodate and satisfy the
affected travelers.
Monograms provides not just one, but two financial plans for your peace of mind
and protection; the $10 Million Customer Protection Plan and
the $$1 Million
Dollar USTOA Travelers Assistance Plan
Travel Protection Plan
You're planning your annual vacation, or the vacation of a lifetime. Either way
you don't want to think about canceling or interrupting your trip. Or getting
sick. Or losing your luggage. We know these things happen so we provide
travelers a Travel Protection Plan. The plan costs from $49-$279 per person
(depending on the vacation destination and price) and offers a wide range of
benefits. For details, please ask your travel consultant, see the details in
your travel documents or follow the links below.
Please note that the Czech Republic now requires a
minimum of $35,000 medical and repatriation insurance coverage. Our basic Travel
Protection policy has a $25,000 limit, however will be increased to $50,000
while in the Czech Republic in order to meet Czech Republic requirements.
There is no additional cost for this extra coverage. If you choose to purchase
insurance independently, please know that you may be required by immigration to
produce proof of coverage while traveling in the Czech Republic.
Travel Protection Plus
If you purchase the Travel Protection Plan, you may also purchase the optional
Travel Protection Plus Plan at an additional cost of only $30.00 per person.
This additional Benefit* (if purchased) allows you to cancel your vacation up to
24 hours (or the prior business day, whichever is farther out) before your
scheduled departure for any reason not covered by the basic Travel Protection
Plan provisions. Under this Travel Protection Plus Plan Benefit, Monograms will
reimburse the cancellation penalty amount, as retained by the Globus family of
brands, in travel certificates, minus the Travel Protection payment. Travel
certificates are valid for travel within one year from the date of issue, but no
later than 15 months from the date you cancel your trip.
**The Travel Protection Plus Plan is provided by Globus
family of brands and is not an insurance benefit and must be purchased with the
initial payment for your Trip.
$10 Million Customer Protection Plan
For your peace of mind Monograms provides not just one, but two financial plans
for your protection-the $10 Million Consumer Protection Plan AND the USTOA
Travelers Assistance Program. Monograms has provided a $10 million letter of
credit issued by a leading bank to protect payments made by its customers for
all vacation departures. This is in addition to the $1 million consumer
protection plan maintained by the United States Tour Operators Association
(USTOA), see below. In these uncertain times, Monograms feels it is important to
assure our customers and our travel partners that we are financially secure and
that we back our products 100%.
TThe $10 million letter of credit has been issued by
Credit Suisse S.A. in favor of PRO-CLAIM INC., of Highlands Ranch, Colorado,
acting as trustee of a trust for the benefit of Globus, Cosmos and Monograms
customers who advance deposits or payments for any Globus or Cosmos tour
departure sold in the United States. PRO-CLAIM, INC., as trustee of the trust,
is responsible for refunding deposits or payments (excluding deposits or
payments made by credit cards, since chargebacks are available), for Globus,
Cosmos and Monograms tours sold in the United States in the event Group Voyagers
Inc., d/b/a Globus, Cosmos and Monograms, becomes insolvent, bankrupt or ceases
business.
$1 Million USTOA Travelers Assistance Program
Monograms, as an Active Member of USTOA, is required to post $1 Million with
USTOA to be used to reimburse, in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the USTOA Travelers Assistance Program, the advance payments of Monograms
customers in the unlikely event of Monograms bankruptcy, insolvency or cessation
of business. Further, you should understand that the $1 Million posted by
Monograms may be sufficient to provide only a partial recovery of the advance
payments received by Monograms. Complete details of the USTOA Travelers
Assistance Program may be obtained by writing to USTOA at 275 Madison Avenue,
Suite 2014, New York, New York 10016, or by e-mail to information@ustoa.com or
by visiting their Web site at www.USTOA.com.
