We often deal with cases such as the impact of overbooking, customer complaints regarding program adjustments, last-minute flight cancellations, late arrivals, room and meal complaints, dissatisfaction with a guide, difficult or COVID clients, or force majeure situations. Due to our additional specialization in personal injury and health care law, we can also handle accidents during travelling.
