Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, there were very restrictive measures around the world in order to prevent the further spread of the infection and protect people's lives and health. This left profound and varied consequences. The tourism sector was particularly affected by these events. Numerous package travel contracts were canceled or interrupted after its commencement. The subject of this paper are the legal consequences of Covid-19 on package travel contracts. The extensive case law has developed as a consequence of described occurrences. Part of it, including the specific case analyzed in this article, was developed by the Court of Justice of the European Union. The main issue in that case was whether, in case of termination of the package travel, due to the circumstances that could not have been avoided, there is a responsibility of a travel organizer, that is, whether a traveler has a right to reduced price of the package travel.
