Reform of the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (PTRs) is something that has been on the horizon for several years now.
Most recently, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (Beis) – now the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) – carried out a review of the PTRs in 2022 and published proposals for reform.
The proposed reforms were more limited than many in the industry had hoped and addressed relatively minor changes, such as simplifying the definition of a Linked Travel Arrangement (LTA) and arranging for the publication of a consumer-focused PTRs guidance document.
