We support B2B refunds because they ensure that package travelers are refunded in time👍.

For them to be workable, service suppliers must refund intermediaries, & improved enforcement & redress tools for B2B relations are also needed.

Liquidity crunches in times of crisis are a real threat for travel agents.

The revised version of the #PTD must reflect this reality and include crisis management measures to quickly refund consumers and not unduly burden agents, most of whom are SMEs👇

❌Unfair stipulations like certain reimbursement requirements not imposed on airlines

Learn why creating a level playing field must be an essential part of the PTD revision👇

Limiting prepayments will lead package organisers not being able to earn money during the first part of a given year.

We advocate instead for including the protection of prepayments in mandatory airline insolvency protection.

Designed in the pre-internet 1990s as a way to enjoy a carefree holiday, the #PTD is no longer the only way people book trips✈️. It represents 15% of all travel services sold!
Learn how we can take inspiration from the PTD to better protect the other 85%👇

When it comes to improving tourists' rights, the approach should be global and encompass both packages and standalone travels.
Lawmakers are in a unique position to make meaningful & harmonised improvements. The process should not be rushed.

Happy 20th birthday to the Air Passengers Rights Regulation🥳🛫!

Now that you're two decades old, we have to say, you're showing your age a little😉. We think it's high time for an update, wouldn't you agree?

Stay tuned to learn how we can modernize this regulation...

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Today is a day of great pride for Bulgaria and Romania.

The decision to lift internal air and sea border checks with 🇧🇬🇷🇴 is a major step forward for them and for the Schengen area.

Both have worked hard for it.

They both deserve it.

They will make Schengen even stronger.
