Visas & Travel Insurance

• Visa Requirements:
  If you require a visa to enter South Africa, please indicate this on the Hosted Buyer profile to ensure an invitation letter is issued in good time. All visa-related costs are the responsibility of the Hosted Buyer and are not covered as part of your Hosted Buyer package.
• Travel Insurance:
  Travel insurance is compulsory and must cover the full duration of your trip—from departure to return. This applies to all Hosted Buyers, including those who do not require a visa.
• Liability: The organisers, sponsors, and stakeholders will not be responsible for any costs or emergencies, including medical evacuation. It is the Hosted Buyer’s responsibility to ensure adequate cover.

Cancellations and No-Shows

• All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing, accompanied by a formal motivation letter, and sent to the Hosted Buyer Team on buyer@register.atwconnect.com in order to be considered and processed.
• Any cancellation or amendment fees resulting from changes made by the Hosted Buyer, including modifications to the itinerary, will be at the Hosted Buyer’s own expense.
