Leisure Travel Protocol – January 8, 2013, updated November 2014
We live in a world in which travel has become both increasingly important and complex in its variety of modes and choices. Travelers are faced

them honestly and competently. All Travel Café employees pledge themselves to conduct their business activities in a manner that promotes the
ideal of integrity in travel and agree to act in accordance with the applicable sections of the following Travel Café Code of Ethics.
