This is part of a wider attempt to reform package travel regulations, which include the flight-inclusive packages widely sold by tour operators such as Jet2, Tui and easyJet holidays. 

 

According to ministers, the 12-week consultation will look at whether reforming domestic package holidays will boost the UK’s domestic tourism. It will also seek industry advice on how to remove regulatory burdens, allowing businesses to be more competitive.
