German term or phrase: der Tourenbeginn bestimmt den Preis
der Tourenbeginn bestimmt den Preis. Änderung des Reiseverlaufs und der Hotels vorbehalten.

Subject: A package tour in Europe.
The above section is mentioned as a special note to the tour participants.

Does the writer mean that
'the tour organisers reserve the right to adjust prices before the tour''?

or just simply a warning that

'prices are subject to change before the tour begins' (due to various reasons)?

Thanks!

agree  Bernhard Sulzer: yes, the start date determines the price; and the organisers reserve their right to change the itinerary of the tour (the destinations, stops) :-)
