Hold tour operators accountable for the safety of accommodation provided

Closed 79 signatures

What the petition asks

I want there to be a new law that specifically holds tour operators responsible for the health and safety of accommodations they promote. I think that customers may end up in unsafe conditions. I believe the Government should ensure clear standards and consequences for neglecting this responsibility
I think the government should address this issue because travellers trust tour operators to provide safe, quality accommodations. When this trust is broken, it puts people’s health and well-being at risk. I think that clear regulations and enforcement are needed to ensure tour operators thoroughly vet the places they promote. Without government action, I think unsafe practices could continue, which could leave customers vulnerable. I think accountability must be a legal obligation.
