Abstract

The Directive (EU) 2015/2302 of the European Parliament and of the Council, 25 november 2015, on package travel and linked travel arrangements, has expanded the scope of the package travel regulations, because actually, the internet has become an increasingly important medium through which travel services are offered or sold, and travel services are not only combined in the form of traditional pre-arranged packages, but are often combined in a customised way. This paper focuses on the study of the duties of pre-contractual information imposed by the Directive in this new field, distinguishing between standardized information and more specific information in relation to the contracted trip, with the aim of knowing the treatment of integration of such information in the contract and the requirements for changes in such information are opposable traveler: the contracting parties expressly agree, having communicated all changes to the pre-contractual information to the traveller in a clear, comprehensible and prominent before the conclusion of the package travel contract.
