Students of the subject of contracts in the tourism sector may lack the necessary knowledge, which justifies the introduction of a first lesson on the concept and sources of commercial law, and the legal concept of a tourism company. In this subject, contracts of special interest from a tourism point of view are studied, as well as others of interest from the perspective of business management. Furthermore, given that the provision of tourist services usually involves the establishment of contractual relations between entrepreneurs and consumers, through the conclusion of adhesion contracts, it is necessary for the student to know the rules that regulate contracts with general conditions, as well as the general rules on consumer protection. Thus, this subject studies, firstly: the formation of the contract of adhesion, and the rules of consumer protection in contracting. Secondly, the specific types of contract detailed in the syllabus of the subject, among which the following stand out: the rental of tourist accommodation and the rental of vehicles, tourist intermediation contracts, the franchise contract, the passenger transport contract, with special emphasis on the liability of airlines and transport companies, the package travel contract with special reference to the liability of travel agencies; the contract for the assignment of rights of use by rotation; and other typical tourist contracts such as accommodation or catering. It includes the study of the out-of-court resolution of conflicts in the field of tourism activity, both between business people and between business people and consumers.
