TRAVEL CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS

Member Travel trips are purchased from independent Tour Operators (not NTSC), and are subject to third party regulations and government travel advisories that prescribe when insurance and refunds are issued. NTSC can not cancel trips as it may prevent members from obtaining refunds that they would otherwise be eligible to receive.
