Highlights - Vote in Plenary: Recommendation on Package travel and assisted travel arrangements - Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection

Package travel and assisted travel arrangements will be discussed in Plenary on 26 and voted on 27 October. The current EU rules on package holidays date back to 1990. The updated directive will clarify the rules to take account of new buyers behaviour and broaden the definition of package holidays to encompass most types of travel arrangements made up of various elements (flight, accommodation, car hire), so as to protect holidaymakers in the event of problems.
