Los viajes combinados y medidas contra el covid-19

Abstract

The announcement of the state of alert resulted by the covid-19 pandemic implied, inside the scope of package travel agreements, a significant alteration to the contract elements: its object has become imposible to fulfil and the will of the parties has been revoked due to a massive number of travellers who are not interested on continuing with the travel execution.

By means of the present essay I will reveal which are the situations the traveller, whose package travel agreement has been frustrated, must face; as well as the legal tools and the rights that belong to the traveller.

In this respect, legal consequences derived from the exercise of the right of withdrawal, the declaration of force majeure and loss of interest and, finally, the concrete measures adopted under the royal decree-laws concerning complementary measures to address covid-19 pandemic.
