Package Holiday Directive amended in Germany

Berlin. The German hospitality industry keeps growing. For the first time since the soccer World Cup in Germany in 2006, the German RevPAR even surpassed the European average value in the first half of 2016. At the same time, however, the new IHA President Otto Lindner warns against too much euphoria – and against the new package tour guideline of the EU.

Brussels. The EU has finally adopted the Package Travel Directive. It is the most significant set of regulations for the travel industry and is valid from 2018.
