Conflict in Israel and the Paestinian Territories: 08 October 2023
On October 7th, 2023, Palestinian militant group Hamas launched an attack on Israel resulting in hundreds of fatalities. Israel retaliated by declaring a state of war and striking targets in Gaza resulting hundreds of fatalities. Inspiring Vacations has a small number of customers on the ground. All travellers and tour leaders have been confirmed safe.
In light of further updates from local partners and in accordance with updated government travel advice, the decison has been made to terminate the Israel portion of our applicable Middle East itineraries for departures up until 04 November 2023. We expect that further departures may be impacted, however, this decision will be made in the coming days while we continue to prioritise those on-tour and those scheduled to depart this month.
Here is a list of the itineraries and departure dates that have been impacted:
All itineraries incorporating travel to Egypt, Jordan and Turkey are travelling as normal with no itinerary changes anticipated. As such, any voluntary request to change or cancel an existing booking will be treated as per our standard terms and conditions. Please refer to your travel insurance provider to understand how you may be covered through your chosen policy.
Should your booking become impacted by an itinerary change, we will be in touch with the person who made your booking.
