It also reserves the right to alter the itinerary of any tour, if, for any reason, this becomes necessary or desirable. Additionally, the tour operator may, for the same reasons, substitute another hotel or airlines of the same quality, as deemed so by Joshua Travel, for the one originally planned. In both these cases, no refund is due to the passenger.
