Must I accept all Servas travelers who request a visit?
Hosts agree to accept travelers without regard to race, creed, sexual orientation, or nationality, but when you choose to welcome travelers into your home is entirely up to you. You should accept travelers only when you have the time, energy and interest for a meaningful Servas exchange. We do ask that all hosts reply to traveler inquiries whether you can host at that time or not. You do not have to give the reason you cannot accept a visitor, just explain that, although you would like to meet her/him, it is not convenient at this time. If you have to cancel on short notice after you have made arrangements, it is customary to try to help make arrangements with another area host or to direct the traveler to your local coordinator for assistance.
