Timeshare: New ECC-Net report

European Consumer Centres create clarity

Timeshare and other so called long-term holiday products seem tempting at first. The beautiful bungalow at the beach or the perfect apartement for your winter trip is available to you every year. One thing you don't have to worry about, guaranteed holiday fun. However, such contracts often include traps and unfortunately there are many dubious traders who want to trick you.

The European Consumer Centres Network (ECC-Net) published a report regarding this issue, based on the complaints they received from consumers. Please find more information as well as the report for download in this article.

If you face a problem with a trader from another EU Member State, Norway or Iceland, feel free to turn to ECC Austria (contact).

Deficiencies at your holiday hotel

The hotel room is dirty or not available, instead of a "fine sandy beach" you find a rocky bay and instead of the longed-for peace and quiet you are tormented by annoying construction noise. Especially during the peak travel season, we receive an increasing number of complaints from holidaymakers whose stay did not turn out quite as expected. But what can you do if you have problems on holiday? We provide information on the options available to consumers.
