Health and Immunizations
LDS Travel Study advises each participant (at their own expense) to have a physical checkup before registering for a tour to see that they can meet the minimum active elements on specified programs. Furthermore, participants should follow the advice of their physician regarding any immunizations needed before traveling. LDS Travel Study is not responsible for any accident or illness that may occur before, during or after a participant is on a tour.

Active Elements
On specified programs some active elements have been incorporated into the itinerary. To enjoy the program as intended, a minimum level of fitness is required. The required level would be equivalent to what is obtained by routine daily exercise such as golf, jogging, energetic walking, tennis, etc. Activities during the program could include (but are not limited to) hiking, off-road walking, walking on uneven steep or cobbled streets, activities in high altitudes, off-road mountainous driving and/or navigating on uneven terrain.
LDS Travel Study, therefore, will require notice if any participant has any physical or other condition or disability that could create a hazard to themselves or to other members of the tour. Furthermore, if the minimum level of fitness cannot be met for the program selected, LDS Travel Study reserves the right to decline acceptance of those seeking to join a specified tour.
LDS Travel Study also reserves the right to remove from the tour, at the participant’s own expense, anyone whose condition is such that it could create a hazard to themselves or others, or otherwise impact the enjoyment of other passengers on the trip. Questions and clarification about a specific tour should be asked in advance or at time of booking by those desiring to join a tour.
