Frequently asked questions about package travel

According to current information, the legislation on travel packages should largely remain unchanged.  Operators registered within the EU, offering packages (e.g., flight and hotel bought at the same time) or combined travel arrangements must lodge a security that guarantees the passengers’ money and repatriation in the event of insolvency.

If you buy a travel package from a travel agency in the UK, you must, in any case, carefully read the terms and conditions of the contract and pay particular attention to cancellation terms and the protection for insolvency situations. The tour operator must indicate in its marketing in which country the insolvency security has been paid and the contact details of the party managing the insolvency scheme.
