Yes, usually we quote an amount inclusive of the GST factor but still, we advise you to please reconfirm with our team before paying the travel package advance amount. 

Currently TCS (Tax Collected at Source) is applicable for tours and services booked outside India, pre-booked in India. TCS is not applicable for domestic tours and travel services. TCS is payable by the traveller to their direct travel agent. TCS amount for outbound tours is 5% of the total package amount which is separately payable. It can not be included in package cost.

All the travel services are optional. Travellers can book any one of the services right from Airport transfers, Air tickets, only cab for destinations, only hotels / resorts / homestays, meal coupons. If travellers want, they can book all the travel services with us. It is upto them. Generally, in our routine travel package, we include Accommodation cost + local travel cost. Meals & air tickets are optional and we advise our travellers to pay for entry tickets and activities locally. A lot of money can be saved by negotiating for activities locally. 

There are few destinations where the government collects taxes from the tourists locally. For example, tourism dirham in UAE is collected by hotels on behalf of the local government directly from the traveller. GoParyatak can’t make it part of your travel package. In case of any misconduct by travellers, local governments may impose fines on the travellers. GoParyatak doesn;t hold any responsibility in this. Guests have to directly deal with it and pay directly to the local authorities.
