Travel agencies are waiting for a life preserver, and due to the uncertain future of foreign travel due to the virus, the layoffs have already begun: Magyar Nemzet writes on the fact that the first serious victim of Covid-19 was the travel agency Domestic Robinson Tours on Saturday.
The administration of Robinson Tours, which collapsed due to the epidemic, told the newspaper that the office was broken because, according to Hungarian regulations, if a trip fails, the price must be refunded to the passenger within 14 days. This has been done for hundreds of customers at Robinson, but they still have more cancellations, making it financially impossible to continue.
“Hungarian regulations are not in line with the provision already introduced in several European countries, such as France, the Netherlands, Spain, Greece, Italy or Portugal, according to which airlines, accommodation establishments, shipping companies, that is , foreign partners of our travel agencies do not have to pay for the failed trip. instead of coupons, a coupon redeemable will be delivered within a year or two, “the president of the Association of Travel Agencies of Hungary.
According to Judit Molnár, after the unexpected expenses so far, only the expenses will continue to increase, therefore, the market has already started to reduce its workforce. According to him, it would be very important that the regulations allow the application of the coupon system at home, and also initiate that Hungarians can pay for Szép cards not only when they sell complete travel packages, but also for national hotel reservations in offices. .
