Summary/Abstract: The tourism sector represents for many countries one of the engines of economic growth and the interdependence between tourism and transport branch, especially that of the transport of passengers and luggage, is more than obvious. For this reason, at international level a greater need to develop more uniform legal regulations was felt in recent decades, along with the exponential growth of the number of tourists. Although by the adoption of the Montreal Convention in 1999 an important step was made in this direction, backed then by its taking over by the European Union law, it still remain many countries which are of great interest to tourists where this international convention or EU regulations are not applicable. Therefore, we believe that an analysis of the provisions of regulations applicable at an international, European and national level, as well as of the international jurisprudence and doctrine regarding the protection of passengers' rights, the compensation due to them in case of damages and the limitations of damages can be nothing but useful.
