The term "package" means a service that is offered for sale at an
inclusive price, covers a period of more than 24 hours or includes
overnight accommodation and combines at least two of the following:
. transport;
. accommodation;
. other tourist services not ancillary to transport or accommodation and

Community legislation lays down various rules concerning consumer
information, terms which must be included in the contract, strict
conditions under which the prices quoted in the contract may be altered,
and the conditions under which the contract may be rescinded or cancelled.
The rules also concern certain aspects concerning the consequences of
non-performance or improper performance of the contract, including
liability and guarantees in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the
service provider.
