He provided support and encouragement to make it through the laborious times and provided inspiration to achieve my goals. One thing he always said was “you can never learn too much, but you can most certainly learn to little”. I also dedicate this paper to my children Chad and Lisa who have encouraged and supported me throughout this program and to my mother whose prayers and wishes are always with me. iv Table of Contents

  • Passenger Rights and Package Travel
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS PASSENGER RIGHTS AND PACKAGE TRAVEL 26 May 2020 1. As a passenger/traveller, what are my rights for cancelled transport services/package tours in the context of the coronavirus pandemic? The EU passenger rights regulations provide for passenger rights in the case of cancellation across the different modes of transport. In the case of a cancellation by the carrier, passengers have the choice between reimbursement or re- routing. As re-routing is hardly applicable under the present circumstances, the choice is mostly about possible different forms of reimbursement. Reimbursement of the full cost of the ticket is due 7 days following the passenger’s request in the cases of air, sea and inland waterways transport, 14 days after the offer has been made or the request has been received for bus and coach transport and 1 month after the request of the passenger in the case of rail transport. The Package Travel Directive provides for traveller rights in case of cancellation of the package travel contract by the traveller or the organiser. The traveller of a cancelled package is entitled to full refund of any payments made for the travel package. The organiser of the package must make the refund within 14 days following termination of the contract. Under the passenger rights Regulations and the Package Travel Directive, the reimbursement can be made in money or via a voucher. However, reimbursement by means of a voucher can only take place if the passenger or traveller agrees to it. In March 2020, the Commission adopted Interpretative Guidelines on EU passenger rights regulations in the context of the developing situation with Covid-19 and published an advisory guidance on EU package travel rules in the context of COVID-19 the Commission’s Coronavirus Response website.

  • All About Airfares, Airlines & Airports
    Chapter One “Into the Wild Blue Yonder . .” ALL ABOUT AIRFARES, AIRLINES & AIRPORTS COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL 004_418499-ch01.indd4_418499-ch01.indd 1 22/25/09/25/09 110:24:170:24:17 PPMM 2 “Into the Wild Blue Yonder . .” For years, we have all exulted over the low cost of airfares. While every other expense of travel went up, up, and up, airfares remained stable or even declined. No longer. Not simply the high cost of fuel but the poor fi nancial condi- tion of the airlines has caused carriers to cut fl ights, eliminate destinations, end the discounts (or made them harder to get), and hike the average cost of transportation to really serious levels, making it a big and growing part of our total vacation expenses. So it has become utterly necessary to learn how to fi nd the occasional bargains. And that’s what I’ve attempted to do in this chapter. In alphabeti- cal order, from “A” to “F,” I’ve grouped all the sources of those lower fares and all the methods for fi nding and obtaining them. And then, under “P,” I’ve discussed the question of passenger rights, which relates to the quality of the fl ight experience. Aggregators NEXT TIME YOU’RE DETERMINED TO FIND THE LOWEST POSSIBLE AIRFARE, USE AN AGGREGATOR Aggregators are like Google—they search everything in sight. But unlike Google, which “orders” (that is, tampers with) its results, aggregators list the fares they fi nd in an untouched and strictly logical order. Th ey also claim to be totally comprehensive.

Based on 27 in- depth interviews with owners and managers, we conclude that lifestyle entrepreneurs strive to meet the demands of contemporary backpackers by providing a specific ambience and outpacing more profit-oriented competitors. In addition, business owners work to sustain an explicitly hedonistic way of life to perpetuate their status as “senior” backpackers who offer customized, hard-to-imitate services. However, lifestyle entrepreneurs have also developed strategies to cope with increasing competition and recent demand-related trends.
