Signposting' – key responsibility for holiday companies

Speaking at Ski-Launch, the ski industry’s annual trade and media presentation in London, MPI Managing Director Michael Pettifer said the Package Travel Regulations – enshrined in UK law since 1992 – oblige ski and holiday companies to 'point' their customers to a suitable travel insurance.
Quoting from Holiday Law by Stephen Mason, he said:"Regulation 8 makes it a  criminal offence, if the travel company does not ‘signpost’ customers to a suitable travel insurance."
He also said: "If the new Package Travel Regulations, which are due in 2017, become law we do not expect any changes to this clause.
"MPI will be pleased to give more advice, including an appraisal on booking conditions to which this relates."
