2. Cancellation by us due to COVID-19 related reasons

We will determine COVID-19 related reasons at our absolute discretion but reasons may include any of the following if these scenarios affect the travel arrangements you have booked with us before departure:

b) If your residence's national and/or local authority passes laws or imposes restrictions that prevent you from travelling to the destination. E.g. the implementation of a local lockdown.

c) If you are required to quarantine upon arrival to your destination, due to the laws and regulations of the relevant government in that country and/or the relevant national or local authority;

d) If you are required to quarantine upon return from the resort destination, due to the laws and regulations of the relevant government of your country of origin and/or the relevant national or local authority;

e) If the destination you are travelling to has closed its borders or is otherwise denying entry to visitors;

Should any of these reasons prevail, you will have the following options:
