On the assessment of the admissibility of invoking by a tour operator of specific provisions limiting the scope or the conditions under which compensation is paid by the travel service provider (i.e. the need to amend Article 50(5) of the Polish Act

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to assess the conformity of Article 50(5) of the Polish Act on package travel and linked travel arrangements with Directive 2015/2302 on package travel and linked travel arrangements. According to this provision, ‘Where specific provisions limit the extent to which, or the conditions under which, compensation is paid by a travel service provider which is part of a package, the tour organizer shall be subject to the same restrictions’. In the opinion of the author of this paper, current rules on the reviewed problem, as set out in Article 50(5) of the Act on package travel and linked travel arrangements, deviate from the standard required by Directive 2015/2302. Therefore, they require an urgent legislative amendment, taking into account the possibilities provided for by the Directive. The purpose of this paper is to present this issue in a broader context, with reference to the provisions of Directive 90/314 and the Act on tourism services.
