No, four months was just an example Alex was giving. It doesn't matter how long in advance the client pays - the money sits in the trust account until their tour finished.
Lost - in general with the TTA, you use TTA Trustees as the trustee for your…
I've attached a sample directors & officers policy from Royal Sun Alliance (part of Vantage) to this post you can look at.
I think prices will come in around £500 - more if you want a higher financial level of cover.
Its not something we've done in…

- Hi,
Thanks for your message.
We're also TTA members (U3627), and would be very happy to work with you. We run a wide range of cultural & adventure tours in Egypt, Jordan, Nepal and Thailand (new). Our Standard level tours are pretty comparable to Exodus & Explore type trips (though we'd like to think they're a bit more flexible and competitively priced than theirs), but we also offer a Superior level (5 star) range as well.
I was going to send you a message to this effect later today anyway, with relation to your affiliate/white label post.
We don't produce brochures ourselves at the moment, but concentrate online. We can certainly provide you with trackable affiliate links to any/all of the pages on our website, or even produce a complete white label website for you featuring all of our tours (we use TourCMS, the system made by the company behind SFBO, which covers all these options).
We're a bit flat out at the moment with the run up to a very busy Easter period, but if you could give me a contact name & email address, I'll send some more details to you asap.
Looking forward to working with you.
best wishes, Ralph Foulds
