Question 1

What is a package

Accepted Answer

Packages are formed of two or more elements (such as transport and vehicle hire) made under one booking. The Regulations place requirements on package holiday organisers, including that they will be responsible for the performance of all elements that make up the package.

Question 2

What is a Linked Travel Arrangment

Accepted Answer

An LTA is formed when a looser connection of travel services is purchased in relation to the same trip. The regulations require businesses to make clear at the time of booking whether an LTA is being purchased and what protections are associated with it.

Question 3

Do travellers have the same protection with an LTA?

Accepted Answer

No, travellers do not benefit from the same rights that they would do if they bought a package. There is no requirement for any one party (such as the trader that facilitates the LTA) to be liable for the performance of all the travel services that are part of an LTA.

Question 4

UK Government - Call for evidence

Accepted Answer

The Department for Business and Trade launched a twelve-week Call for Evidence on the Package Travel Regulations 2018 on September 20th 2023, open until 13th December 2023.

Question 5

What does the call for evidence entail?

Accepted Answer

The Call for Evidence tests whether existing regulation is proportionate and effective. We are seeking views on the scope of the rules, including whether the same protections should be in place for international and domestic holidays and whether a minimum cost threshold for the rules to apply would

Question 6

Other feedback sought during the call for evidence

Accepted Answer

Where the regime could be clearer, such as by changing the approach to currently named “LTA's” and how other tourist services form part of a package. This includes inviting views on whether reforms should be brought forward so the rules can work better for consumers and business.
