REGULATIONS
Policy for families, children, and older adults participating in services
Ha Giang Family Travel was built with a specialized orientation toward family travel. We believe that a complete family journey is not just about arriving at the same destination, but is an opportunity for generations to experience, share and create common memories. Therefore, every HGFT itinerary is designed on the principle:
Suitable for families – Safe for every member – Connecting generations – Respecting the individual needs of each person.
- Family-friendly policy
Ha Giang Family Travel specializes in designing private family tours, tailored to the unique needs and characteristics of each individual family.
– Before each journey, Ha Giang Family Travel gathers necessary information, such as:
- Number of participants;
- Ages of children;
- Participation of elderly individuals;
- Physical mobility of the participants;
- Preferences and desired experiences;
- Dining and accommodation requirements;
- Time available for the trip;
- Any other special requests from the family.
On that basis, the itinerary can be adjusted regarding travel times, rest stops, sightseeing locations, experiential activities, means of transport, and accommodation.
– Ha Giang Family Travel does not aim to take families to as many locations as possible; instead, it focuses on a well-balanced, comfortable journey that maximizes opportunities for connection.
- Child policy
2.1. Children under 2 years of age
Children under 2 years of age are exempt from tour service charges when sharing services with their parents or guardians.
Any individual expenses incurred at the request of the family, or in accordance with the policies of transport providers, hotels, or other service providers, will be charged based on the actual costs.
Families should reach out in advance when booking a tour so that Ha Giang Family Travel can provide advice regarding weather conditions, travel distances, and the suitability of the itinerary for young children.
2.2. Children aged 02 to under 05 years old
Children aged 2 to under 5 years are eligible for special rates, depending on the specific tour program.
Specific prices are announced or confirmed by Ha Giang Family Travel at the time of booking, based on the actual services utilized by the child.
Children may share a bed with their parents, provided this complies with the accommodation’s policies.
Individual services such as extra beds, separate meals, admission tickets, or dedicated seats on transport are subject to the policies of each respective provider.
2.3. Children aged 5 to 10 years
Children aged 5 to under 10 years may be eligible for child-rate pricing, depending on the specific program.

- Select activities suitable for the participants’ ages;
- Minimize high-risk activities;
- Provide guidance on necessary clothing and items based on the weather conditions in Ha Giang.
For activities with specific requirements regarding age, height, physical condition, or safety, children may only participate if they fully meet the criteria set by the service provider.
The safety of children is always prioritized over sticking to a schedule.
- Policy for Older Adults
Ha Giang Family Travel encourages multi-generational trips and prioritizes designing itineraries that are well-suited for older travelers.
– If your group includes members aged 60 or older, please inform Ha Giang Family Travel during the consultation process so that we can proactively tailor the itinerary accordingly:
- Suitable travel time;
- More frequent rest stops;
- Limit long walks or difficult terrain;
- Accommodation facilities are convenient to move around;
- Rooms on appropriate floors or with elevators when possible;
- Appropriate diet;
- Experiential activities have reasonable intensity.
Age is not automatically a limiting factor for tour participation. Ha Giang Family Travel assesses suitability based on the nature of the itinerary, physical mobility requirements, and the individual circumstances of each guest.

- Difficulty with mobility;
- Requirement for a wheelchair or assistive device;
- Special dietary requirements;

Every member is important. Every generation has its own experiences. The entire family shares a journey together.
The above outlines the policy regarding tour modifications, cancellations, and service fee refunds for clients of Ha Giang Family Travel. By utilizing services provided by Ha Giang Family Travel, you agree to abide by all the terms set forth herein.
