Outbreaks of
food poisoning and sickness in Portugal resulting from inadequate hygiene
practices can also ruin holidays and leave holiday makers with expensive medical
bills. British tour operators, such as, First Choice, Thomson Holidays, Thomas Cook
etc, are under a legal duty to ensure that their customers’ package
holiday accommodation is safe and hygienic, and that they are not
exposed to the risk of holiday illness, ie food poisoning.
UK tourists on package holidays are protected by legislation in the form of the
1992 Package
Travel Regulations. Holiday Compensation Solicitors are able to bring illness
or accident claims against UK tour operators. For further information, take a look
