Re: Fuel Costs/Surcharge
As a privately owned company, we understand the need to keep costs down while
operating efficiently. We constantly search for ways to maximize the value our
service provides. From time to time, however it is necessary to adjust our
service rates to compensate for increases in expenses. An example of this is the
apparent increase in fuel. Just 18 months ago when most of the tours were priced
and packaged, fuel was at $2.10 per gallon. 18 months later when the tours are
coming to date diesel fuel is at a record high of $4.80 per gallon.
This increase has come to the point that it is no longer absorbable into our
current rate structure. After careful review of the industry practices, we have
decided that the best way to handle this is to impose a fuel surcharge on our
services of $3.00 per person per day.
Thank You For Your Understanding And Cooperation.
Sincerely,
Martin Gunther
