| Abstract: | Twelve years ago most tourist services were excluded from the Distance Selling Directive. It was considered inappropriate to use a particular right of withdrawal to contracts negotiated away from business premises for the provision of these services. Additional information cannot be required from the service provider and rash decisions resulting from an informational disadvantage cannot be rectified by terminating the contract. These difficulties can only be partially resolved by referring to other regulations (i.e. E-Commerce Directive, Timeshare Directive). The Draft Common Frame of Reference also coincides to some extent with the exclusion of some tourist services from distance selling protection. The goal of this article is to review this exclusion by means of examining the dynamics of tourism services. |
