Accessibility Policy
We are committed to making our web-site as accessible as
possible to all users. Our efforts include:
Using plain language, without using travel industry or other
jargon. Where we use abbreviations, the full phrase will be
referenced with its first usage on the page.
Maintaining an easy to use navigation structure throughout,
including a 'mega-menu' from the top navigation panel to allow
users to navigate directly to the destination of their choice
immediately.
Limiting template style to a number appropriate to the size of
the site and using a template structure in line with the structure
of information in the site. For example, the layout of our Kenya
page is the same as the layout for our Vietnam page.
Using a clear heading structure throughout and ensuring that
large blocks of information are split into manageable chunks using
paragraphs, lists, tabs and other HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)
according to category of information to create a logical
information structure.
Using a 'breadcrumb trail' throughout to allow users to navigate
backwards as required.
Using a plain background to ensure clarity of text and using a
font colour with sufficient contrast for those with visual
impairments.
Using meaningful alternative attributes (sometimes referred to
as 'alt tags') on images where appropriate.
Using hyperlinks appropriate to the context and purpose of the
link.
Coding our site to display in all the main modern browser types,
including but not limited to Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and
Safari.
Coding our site so that headings appear in a legible back-up
font if our logotype is not compatible with your own browser.

Our site uses Javascript to create an attractive slideshow of

in your computer settings.
