Abstract
The article gives a broad overview of emerging trends in hospitality and tourism law in an international perspective. First, a brief review of the current international conventions relating to innkeepers and travel agents is discussed. Then existing common law and statutory laws leading to the awarding of damages in some common law jurisdictions to consumers for frustration and disappointment are reviewed briefly. In the U.S.A. travel agents in particular are now viewed by the courts as having almost an absolute duty to consumers in the representations, terms and conditions in which they describe their products and a duty to advise them of the benefits of insurance policies. A final theme is the formation of the International Forum of Travel and Tourism advocates (IFTTA), an association designed to monitor and develop solutions to the legal problems besetting a new and emerging field within the international hospitality and tourism industry.
