We firmly believe in fair trade - between us and our
associates in the Indian subcontinent and between us and our
customers. With this in mind we have a Fair Trade Policy as
detailed below:
- Our overseas associates do not have to
make any commitment (financial or otherwise) to us other
than allowing us to market their properties or services.
- We do not have ‘exclusive agreements’
which means that our associates are free to market their
property through other operators.
- Rooms are not block booked by us and the
bookings are made on a 'first come, first served' basis.
- We pay our associates promptly and, if
there is a cancellation, they are paid a cancellation fee.
- We take bookings throughout the year,
not just during the high season.
- We use local agents and guides. Not only
does this provide local employment and income but it also
offers you the best opportunity to find out about the area
you are visiting.
- We do not offer ‘all inclusive’
holidays. This puts more money directly into the pockets
of the local people.
- We strive to keep our overheads low to
enable us to offer our customers competitive prices.
- There are a number of retailers who pay
tour operators to take customers to their shops. This is
unfair, both to the customers and to other local traders.
Select Connections and our agents do not approve of such
practices and do not participate.
