We use the personal data we receive from you through this communication (e.g. name, contact details, travel preferences) solely to process your enquiry and to prepare or perform a contract (Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR), or, where no contract is being prepared, on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).
