Collective Commentary about the New Package Travel Directive

440 COLLECTIVE COMMENTARY ABOUT THE NEW PACKAGE TRAVEL DIRECTIVE The content of both templates is identical. In them, the traveller is informed that after selecting and paying for a travel service, if they do book additional travel services for their trip, they will not enjoy the rights that Directive 2013/2302 offers to package travels.
