At Selvista, we understand that canceling a reservation can be frustrating, but we want to remind our guests of the importance of supporting local service providers. Cancelling last minute can have a significant impact on the income of our local partners who depend on the tourism industry to make a living.
By implementing a cancellation charge, we ensure that our partners receive a fair share of the income they depend on.
We firmly believe that responsible tourism should increase economic stability instead of exploiting economically struggling countries. Let us work together to create a sustainable and ethical tourism industry that benefits everyone involved.
