<li>Many travel services (such as discounted airfares, hotel bookings, and special packages) may be non-refundable as per the terms set by third-party providers.</li>
<li>Next Holidays Travel and Tourism LLC acts as an intermediary between customers and travel suppliers, meaning we must adhere to their cancellation and refund rules.</li>

<li><strong>Processing Fees:</strong> Next Holidays Travel and Tourism LLC may retain a service fee for cancellations, as administrative costs apply.</li>
</ul>
<h2>3. Supplier-Imposed Fees</h2>
<ul>
<li>Airlines, hotels, and other service providers often enforce strict cancellation policies. These rules override Next Holidays Travel and Tourism LLC’s policies, and we cannot issue refunds if the supplier denies them.</li>
<li><strong>Airline Tickets:</strong> Most discounted fares are non-refundable. Some may allow changes with penalties, while others are entirely inflexible.</li>
<li><strong>Hotel Reservations:</strong> Refundability depends on the rate type booked (e.g., "Free Cancellation" vs. "Non-Refundable").</li>
<li><strong>Tour Packages & Activities:</strong> Many tours have strict cancellation windows (e.g., 48–72 hours prior) for refunds.</li>
</ul>
<h2>4. No-Show Policy</h2>
<ul>
<li>Failure to show up for a booked service (flight, hotel, tour, etc.) without prior cancellation will result in a full forfeiture of the payment with no refund.</li>
</ul>
<h2>5. Force Majeure & Unforeseen Circumstances</h2>
<ul>
<li>Next Holidays Travel and Tourism LLC is not liable for refunds due to events beyond our control, including but not limited to:
<ul>
<li>Natural disasters, pandemics, or government travel restrictions.</li>

</ul>
</li>
<li>In such cases, we will assist customers in rescheduling or claiming refunds only if permitted by the supplier.</li>
</ul>
<h2>6. Refund Processing Time</h2>
<ul>
<li>Approved refunds may take 7–30 business days to reflect in the original payment method, depending on banking processes.</li>
</ul>

<li>All refund requests must be submitted in writing.</li>
</ul>
<h2>8. Policy Updates</h2>
<ul>
<li>Next Holidays Travel and Tourism LLC reserves the right to modify this policy at any time. Customers are bound by the policy in effect at the time of booking.</li>
