As of 1st July 2018 the Amendment of the Act No. 159/1999 Coll., on certain business conditions and performance of certain activities in the area of tourism industry, and related laws, became effective.
The purpose of the Amendment is the local transposition of the Directive (EU) 2015/2302 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on package travel and linked travel arrangements.
The main aim of the new legislation is not only to modernise the relevant legal area of tourism industry, i.e. to regulate the new ways how the travel services are offered, sold and arranged, but also to reach and ensure high level of consumer protection.
