TOURS AGREEMENT Interpreters 6.4 In the event that the Host Union’s Liaison Officer(s) is not sufficiently fluent in the language of the Visiting Union, the Manager of the Visiting Union may request, giving at least ten weeks written notice, for the Host Union to provide an interpreter. If such a request is made then the Host Union will meet all internal travel and accommodation expenses of that interpreter from the date of arrival of the Visiting Union until the date of departure. 7. Travel, Accommodation, Vehicles and Tour Expenses 7.1 Travel 7.1.1 All arrangements for making reservations and payment (including international airport taxes) of travel for the Tour Party on both the Outward Journey and Homeward Journey including any Deviation shall be the responsibility of the Visiting Union unless otherwise agreed between the Visiting and Host Unions. 7.1.2 All other travel (including taxes) and hotel expenses within the territory of the Host Union during the Tour and all other proper and necessary expenditure as determined by the Liaison Officer incidental to the Tour shall, save as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be paid by the Host Union. When a visiting Union participates in Matches during a Tour in more than one country then the respective Host Unions shall share the travel costs and hotel expenses and all other proper and necessary expenditure determined by the respective Liaison Officers incidental to the Tour (save as otherwise provided in this Agreement) on a pro-rata basis. 7.1.3 The Visiting Team Manager shall give the Host Union at least seven days notice of the Team’s proposed itinerary and transport requirements with confirmed timings and transport requirements for each day to the Liaison Officer the preceding evening. 7.2 Hotel Accommodation and Vehicles Hotel accommodation and vehicles shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 2 of this Agreement. The Host Union acknowledges that in providing accommodation, vehicles and facilitating logistical arrangements that the Visiting Union should not be treated in a materially different way from that of the Host Union such that the preparation by the Visiting Union for Matches is not or cannot be of a substantially similar level to that of the Host Union. 7.3 Expenses 7.3.1 Apart from the expenses referred in Clauses 7.1 and 7.2 of this Agreement, all other expenses incurred in respect of personal refreshment during the Tour for any Member of the Tour Party shall be paid by the Visiting Union.
