Cancellation Refunds

We would deeply regret that you decided to cancel the trip, although, we believe in most cases, it is not necessary.

In the event of cancellation, we will refund any payment made to UME Travel (less any cancellation fee that is applicable) within 14 days of our receipt of your written cancellation request.

The cancellation fee will be calculated as follows:

Period before Departure Date Cancellation Charge ( Full Payment )

More than 21 days                          None 

14-21 days                                   85%

1-14 days                                   100%

NO-show                                   100%

Please Note:

In the case of any possible refund, PayPal service fee (4.5%) will be deducted from the original payment.

Once the trip starts, we are unable to refund any amount for unused services due to your unwillingness/inability to participate, early departure, late arrival, or missed days on tours.

1. For some items, such as hotels in peak season, airlines, Cruises, bullet train tickets/flights tickets, certain tickets/reservations for theme parks, games, shows, restaurants, and special experience may result in full charges upon cancellation.etc, it cannot be refunded and changed once has been reserved and issued whether or not booked 21 days before or after.

2. For clients booking a trip to China with us, we provide a free Invitation Letter for the Chinese visa obtainment process. However, if the client requests to cancel the itinerary, a handling fee of 10% of the total tour cost will apply, regardless of when or what reason a cancellation is requested.

3. As each country and region has the peak travel season due to different holidays, the following time periods are not applicable to the above policies.
