Creator's Key Takeaways

it is essentially if it's drafted properly it is a contract legally binding between you the travel company and the traveler

the danger of not having a waiver is you will be deprived of some very important legal defenses should you get sued

waivers have a way of sort of sussing out people who really shouldn't be going on the trip

you always want to make sure of course that the beginning of the waiver explains who the contract is between
