Per chi desidera approfondire la conoscenza dell’Armenia, delle sue origini e della sua storia, proponiamo un itinerario di viaggio indimenticabile alla scoperta del popolo che visse ai piedi dell’Ararat, il monte dove, secondo la tradizione biblica, si fermò l’Arca di Noè dopo il Diluvio. Avremo l’opportunità di visitare regioni dalle antiche e radicate tradizioni e di conoscere il culto ortodosso armeno, in quello che fu il primo Stato a proclamare il Cristianesimo religione ufficiale, nel 301 d.C. Esploreremo i principali monasteri del Paese, il sito megalitico di Zorats Karer (lo "Stonehenge armeno") e la capitale Yerevan, metropoli moderna che conserva ancora le tracce del suo glorioso passato.

INCLUSION INSURANCE IN COMBINED TRAVEL RESERVATIONS
With regard to our inclusion insurance, said insurance exclusively includes those people who have their residence and origin of the trip in Spain or Portugal.
CHAPTER I (Obligations of information and content of the combined travel contract), Article 153 (Pre-contractual information), point 1, section H:
"1. Before the traveler is bound by any package travel contract or corresponding offer, the organizer, and also the retailer, when the package is sold through the latter, will provide the traveler with the form with the standard information regarding to the package trip that appears in annex II, A or B, as well as the following information that is applicable to the package trip:
"h) Information on the subscription of an optional insurance that covers the expenses originated in the event that the traveler decides to terminate the contract or the expenses of assistance, including those of repatriation, in case of accident, illness or death."
Said section refers to the obligation to inform the client of the possibility of contracting insurance, not to the obligation to include insurance on the trip, that is, the client has the power (option) to contract insurance with the agency or not. . The agency has the obligation to inform that it is recommended that the client take out insurance that includes, at least, issues such as repatriation,... which is basically inclusion insurance.
Once the agency informs the client about the recommendation to contract insurance for the trip, it is the client who can contract insurance with the agency, or contract it directly with whoever they want.
