Travel law in transition: package travel reform, CMA enforcement, and the impact of new employment rights

The legal and regulatory landscape for travel businesses continues to evolve rapidly, with major developments across consumer protection, travel regulation and employment law creating new compliance and commercial challenges for the sector.

On Tuesday 2 June, we hosted a practical webinar exploring some of the most significant recent developments affecting travel businesses.

Our speakers covered:

• Reform of the UK Package Travel Regulations: a detailed look at the changes which will come into force on 6 April 2027, the businesses most likely to be affected and the practical implications for travel companies.
• CMA enforcement under the DMCC Act: an analysis of the CMA’s first major fines under the new regime, including how penalties are being calculated, aggravating and mitigating factors and key takeaways from these cases.
• Employment law reform: the latest developments under the Employment Rights Act and what the changes will mean in practice for travel companies.
