Which Legal Route Applies?
Travel-agency activity, package travel, accommodation and transport have different permission and customer-protection requirements. A supplier contract does not remove the organiser's own obligations.
Evidence to Prepare Before the Next Step
Provide the itinerary, supplier roles, agency status, booking terms, cancellation policy and customer payments. Check licence and insolvency-risk arrangements before selling a package.
Sources & Authorities
Relevant statutory framework and official guidance. Applicable requirements depend on the activity, documents and current rules.
