Amending bonding requirements and scrapping protection of linked travel arrangements (LTAs) are among proposals put forward in new consultation on reforming the Package Travel Regulations (PTRs).

The government is rethinking how the EU's Package Travel Regulations apply following Brexit

Following Brexit, the UK retained the PTRs, which were its interpretation of the EU Package Travel Directive.

The previous Conservative government consulted on proposed changes to the PTRs in September 2023, but progress stalled as pressure mounted on the Conservatives, which eventually led to last July’s election.

Now, the new Labour government has launched a new 12-week consultation on the PTRs, which will run until 30 June.
