Any tour operator which offer a package holiday for sale in the EU (irrespective of destination) must comply with the Package Travel Regulations which came into effect on 1 January 1993. One of the most onerous responsibilities is the need for the tour operator to provide security for passengers’ holiday payments prior to and up to the completion of the package holiday, in the event of the financial failure of the organiser.
