LEGISLATIVE ASPECTS OF PACKAGE TRAVEL CONTRACT IN ALBANIA, THE LEGISLATIVE MEASURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EU 3202/2015 DIRECTIVE

The package travel contract is a complex contract that involves within it the need to regulate contractual interests by one party and on the other hand it ensuresthe consumer protection. With the development of internet technology and the increase in services provided by low-budget airlines, the nature of consumer behaviour has changed dramatically, from a brochure-driven environment to a digital one. In this sense the need for a complete and adequate adjustment in accordance with the requirements of the contracting parties appearsessential. Based on its complexity, the EU Commission has amended with the 3202/2015 directive, the previous directive 90/314/EEC to ensure completeall-embracing legal regulation of travel contracts. In the framework of fulfilling the obligations that arise for Albanians to approximate the legislation with the aquis communitarium, it is the duty of the legislature to provide a complete and harmonious arrangement of the package travel in Albania.The package travel contract is one of the atypical contracts which do not find proper regulation by Albanian legislation. They find restricted regulation as part of the law 9902/2008 “On consumer protection” and in the decision of the Council of Ministers no. 65/ 2009. Through this paper is intended to offer a general reflection of the travel contracts in Albania, legal issues and the necessity of adapting our civil legislation to aquis communitarium.
