  • 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.

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.

  • 21 Century Travel Using Websites, Mobile and Wearable Technology Devices
    Athens Journal of Tourism - Volume 2, Issue 2 – Pages 105-116 21 Century Travel using Websites, Mobile and Wearable Technology Devices By Michael Conyette This paper begins with an account of how travel has changed primarily between the 20th and 21st century from the dominant role that travel agents played in the past to the travel functions that mobile and wearable technology devices perform in this century. It also discusses the many technological changes that prepared the path for mobile and wearable technology devices, and concludes with examples of how wearables and augmented reality experiences are being used by travel organizations and museums. Wearable computing is a natural evolution of the smartphone technology that has become so prevalent and indispensable. Samsung’s Galaxy Gear, Apple’s Watch, Microsoft’s HoloLens, Epson’s Moverio and others will vie for market share in the wearable technology space. Wearable tech devices have the power to transform the management of destination attractions in terms of information provision and the experience of a venue or destination. Examples of this are provided herein. Keywords: Mobile devices, Museum, Smart Glasses, Travel website, Wearable technology Introduction Paradigm shifts in business operations instigated by the Internet two decades ago are now being further compounded via the prevalence of mobile devices and the emerging array of powerful wearable technology devices so that tourism venues need to realign their business practices and models to remain competitive and avoid being sidelined by advancing technology. Wearable tech devices are expected to change the fundamentals of human machine interaction. The paper firstly outlines the role of travel agents followed by changes in travel and technology that have enabled the adoption of wearables.

  • Travel Agents
    City and County of Denver, Colorado TAX GUIDE Topic No. 80 TRAVEL AGENTS Travel agencies provide a service and, as such, generally do not sell tangible personal property at retail. In general, travel agents place and confirm reservations for lodging, airlines, car rentals, and tour packages. They may also issue airline and Amtrak tickets. Travel agents derive their income through fees (commissions) for providing this service. Travel agencies may subscribe to a service that provides continuously updated information regarding the availability status of a hotel, flight, rental car, etc. The purchase of this service is not subject to tax as it is a purchase of two-way communication. It is not a purchase of existing information from a data base. If this service includes the lease or rental of tangible personal property however, such property is subject to sales or use tax. Travel agencies are subject to sales or use tax on purchases of tangible personal property used or consumed in rendering their service, including items given away to customers, such as maps, brochures, and catalogs. EXAMPLE ABC Travel, a Denver travel agency, issues an airline ticket to Dorothy for her quarterly trip to Las Vegas. ABC prints the airline ticket after reserving Dorothy's flight. ABC is required to pay sales or use tax on the purchase of the tangible personal property used or consumed to provide this service (e.g., paper, printing equipment). * DRMC Section 53-25(1),(6).
