What is the book about? Travel Law is the most extensive publication on law related to tourism in the Czech Republic. It is intended for entrepreneurs in the tourism market, their lawyers and all those who are not satisfied with a general introduction to the subject. The text is written in the version of the legislation in force on 1 January 2022. It takes into account the important amendment of the Act on certain conditions of business and the performance of certain activities in the field of tourism in 2018 and 2021, as well as the Act on VAT amendment as of 1 January 2022. Legally problematic situations from the time of the COVID-19 pandemic are also included. The issues are explained taking into account Czech, foreign and EU judgments and the authors' practical experience. The reader will learn what legal conditions need to be met for each type of tourism business, what contracts need to be concluded with customers and business partners, what rights and obligations arise from them, and what are the consequences of breach of obligations. The main topic is the travel package and its regulation, but the issues of accommodation, transport, renting, other tourism services and insurance are also described in detail.

"Following a devastating hotel fire in Prague, the law firm Holubová advokáti, led by attorney Klara Dvorakova, successfully represented our extended family as a group of victims. The firm navigated complex international insurance and compensation laws to defend our rights.
I would like to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts the firm had to make to bring our case to a successful compensation under extremely difficult circumstances."

"A visit to her daughter in London turned Eva's life upside down when she says she stepped into a crossing on a green light but was hit by a car. Despite her remarkable bravery, she faced a long treatment due to fractures in her pelvis, and the associated limitations and pain are likely to persist for the rest of her life. Regular headaches and impaired concentration compound her challenges.
Eva contacted us through an organization temporarily helping her manage her difficult living situation. At that time, she was destitute, relying only on subsistence payments. We were able to assist her because we specialize in personal injury and have contacts with proven colleagues abroad.
We worked with Stewarts, a UK law firm, on this case. Attorneys Klára Dvořáková and Rebecca Huxford helped Eva with the documentation in her case, explaining her options and the differences between the Czech and British systems of healthcare and social benefits reimbursement. Within a few months, thanks to the professional cooperation between the two offices, an offer of compensation from the insurance company of approximately CZK seven million was achieved. The client accepted this settlement because she did not want to deal with courts in the United Kingdom.
Subsequently, we assisted the client with related tax issues and contacted Auditone, a tax consultancy firm, which arranged for the filing of a tax return. Compensation for lost income is taxable, unlike most personal injury compensation.
'No one has done as much for me as you,' Eva said.
The fact that we were able to help Eva gives our work meaning and brings us great joy. We are very happy that, thanks to our many years of active involvement in the international professional organization PEOPIL, we can cooperate on such cases."
