Book excerpt: "Whether one encounters legal problems in Belgium, Ireland, Spain, England or Germany, this reference book will certainly become the touchstone of the tourism and travel industry. ? As a North American, I envy the practitioners of European travel and tourism law, who now have available this powerful tool to assist them in guiding representatives of the industry through the complex web of law which governs the ever expanding European travel industry." From the Foreword by Michael Lipton QC, Past-Chairman of the Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Law Committee (Committee Y), Section on Business Law, International Bar Association European Travel Law provides an in-depth and up-to-date guide to European tourism and travel law and the structure of the European travel industry. Each country chapter is written by a recognised local expert and examines the law affecting tourism and related consumer protection issues on two levels: first at the EC level, providing in particular an explanation of the implementation of the vitally important Package Travel Directive and secondly at the national level, with chapters detailing the domestic practice and provisions on tourism law throughout Europe. In addition to the country-by-country analysis, European Travel Law gathers together and examines in detail the increasing amount of European Community provisions on travel and tourism, including an examination of the only judgment to be heard to date on the Package Travel Directive (Dillenkofer), the relevant GATT provisions and the World Travel Organisation regulations and codes of conduct relating to tourism. "To the layperson, any book written by lawyers about the law, usually presents a daunting challenge, not only in reading, but also in comprehension. It was, therefore, a pleasant surprise to find European Travel Law to be very readable and more especially, very informative. The book gives clear, concise and comprehensible information and advice. It is not only regular travellers who would be wise to get their hands on a copy of this book, but anyone involved in, or connected with, the travel industry in Europe will need a copy."
