Course overview:

The lecture “International and Transnational Tourism Law in Practice” provides a systematic and practice-oriented overview of a dynamic field of law at the intersection of national, European, and international legal frameworks.

Following a foundational introduction to the multi-level system of relevant legal sources, as well as the core principles of EU package travel law and individual travel law in comparison with non-European regulatory approaches, the course examines key sectors of the tourism industry from different market and corporate perspectives: including tour operators, booking platforms, the hotel sector, airlines, and cruise companies.

Particular emphasis is placed on current regulatory developments, European case law, and the practical implementation of tourism law in legal advisory work and corporate legal departments.
