Key points
- The proposal aims to simplify the legal framework by removing the confusing concept of 'linked travel arrangements' and replacing it with clearer definitions for packages and other service combinations.
- Travellers gain clearer rights to terminate contracts without fees when unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, such as serious health risks or natural disasters, significantly affect their trip.
- New rules for vouchers ensure they are issued on a durable medium, can be used for various services, and include clear information about the traveller's right to a cash refund instead.
- Insolvency protection is strengthened to cover not only direct payments but also the traveller's right to a refund if they hold a voucher when an organiser goes bankrupt.
