A: Prioritizing the health and safety of our clients is paramount, especially during pandemics and other global health crises. We do try and monitor international travel advisories. Our luxury travel planners can customize each itinerary to minimize risks, at clients' request, and supplemental costs, private transfers, exclusive use accommodations, flexible booking policies, and similar services to try limit disruptions and to make adjustments to itineraries if need. By combining meticulous planning with our commitment to excellence, HBT delivers exceptional and secure travel experiences even in challenging times.

Should another outbreak occur, we may likely see borders close again - either by the US Government or foreign governments. Flights may be halted to stop the spread, or there may be hotel closures or other local shutdowns; all of which may cause complications to your travels. Further, you may need to return immediately or as soon as possible. If you are unable to return from your destination, you will have to follow foreign guidelines and instructions and extend your stay for an unknown period of time. Returning travellers may have to undergo enforced quarantine measures. HBT strives to provide seamless travel experiences. However, in the event of health crises or government-imposed shutdowns that impact travel during your trip, we will offer 24-hour support to assist by providing suggestions for getting travelers home as swiftly as possible. However, HBT does not assume financial responsibility for cancellations, delays or changes to your travel arrangements. We recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that covers interruptions due to such events. Our team will assist you in managing your itinerary and providing guidance, but ultimately liability for costs due to the disruptions lies with the traveler. Please review all terms and insurance options carefully before booking to ensure you are protected.

If you are unwell, seek medical attention right away. Hotels may have a doctor you could call or do a remote consult by telephone/video phone. Be aware that you will be required to pay for the medical care costs, as well as hospitalization, even if you have purchased Travel Protection Insurance, or Medical Insurance in the United States.
