<p>Organisers of package holidays are required to comply with the Package Travel and
Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018. Consumers are entitled to a refund if
they cancel a package holiday due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances occurring
at the place of destination or its immediate vicinity which would significantly affect
the performance of the package or transport to the destination, or if the organiser
terminates the contract because of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances.</p><p>
</p><p>Given the evolving situation, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has
updated its guidance for businesses to help them understand their legal obligations.

If the CMA finds evidence that companies are failing to comply with the law, the CMA
will take appropriate enforcement action. For example, recent action from the CMA
has led to an undertaking from TUI to refund affected customers by the end of September.</p>
