HOW IRT HAVE COMBATED COVID-19
The OFFICE
The office was closed adhering to government guidelines but has since reopened, our staff have worked from home since returning from tours in March.
2020 tours
Post Covid-19 we have managed to reschedule our groups who had booked for this year to late 2021 and 2022, if 2021 is not possible 2022 is already in place.
REFUNDING OUR CLIENTS
For those groups who had to cancel because it just wasn't possible to travel next year or 2022 we have returned all monies due.
New Staff
It is with great delight the company can announce it has taken on two new members of staff who will be great additions to the present team.
Health & Safety
Health and Safety is a major priority with IRT, it has become even more critical during the pandemic. High levels of H&S have been made to make you secure.
Creating new ideas
During these difficult times we have had time to redesign our itineraries & brochures with new ideas to increase the excitement of your IRT rugby tour, fun times lie ahead.
A message from
George Hook
Managing Director
The hotel and travel industry has been my life since I was 18 years old. I have built wonderful working relationships over the years with clients and suppliers that some of them have become personal friends. I hope that when this pandemic dies away that I will be able to greet those friends again and the thought of new ones too when we are allowed to travel again.
Managing Your Tour
- Your new trip can be moved to any date and location subject to availability.
* If you wish to select a different destination to the one originally chosen please do let us know in time. - Requests for new updated itineraries can be requested 4 weeks out from departure.
* Not happy with your itinerary, no problem. Let us know what you would like to change. - Any new excursions or activities to be added must be given in advance 4 weeks from departure.
* If it's not on the Itinerary and you would like to add it please do let us know 4 weeks before your departure. - Excursions and activities can be cancelled or changed by the group on tour.
* Tours always change midway through. If you decide it's not really wanted by the group or interferes with something else let your guide know in time. - All changes discussed and approved by group leader and tour operator must be made and confirmed by email.
