but unobtrusive and mostly work behind the scenes. They look after any
travel arrangements, act as hosts at dinner and activities (where
applicable), liaise with local agents/guides regarding any group
excursions that may be requested and generally make sure that everything
runs as it should. Your host will of course, also help resolve any
problems you may have whilst on holiday.

You should not leave home without adequate insurance, preferably including cover for an emergency flight home in the event of serious injury or illness.
