Have your say on the safety of tourism accommodation services: launch of a public consultation
With more and more consumers choosing to spend their holidays outside their country of residence, they should feel safe in any tourism accommodation venue across the EU.
Following calls from the European Parliament and the industry, the European Commission is asking for tourists' and businesses' views to collect information and evidence on consumers' experiences with tourism accommodation. The consultation will help evaluate certain fundamental aspects of tourism accommodation safety.
For example, are existing EU rules sufficient and are they adequately implemented across the Member States? Are modern safety risks taken into account when providing cross-border tourism accommodation services? Are these risks linked to gaps in current legislation?
What is the impact of existing requirements on small and medium-sized enterprises and vulnerable consumers? Interested parties have until 30 November 2014 to share their opinion on the topic.
More information and the public consultation itself are available here
