Book your trip with a recognized travel professional
When you book a trip, you primarily want one thing: to be sure that everything is well arranged .
Therefore, many travelers consciously choose a travel organization that operates in accordance with the rules of the Belgian Package Travel Act.
In Belgium, travel organizations offering package holidays must comply with clear legal obligations. One of the most important of these is insolvency protection . This means that travelers are protected should a travel organization encounter financial difficulties.
This protection is part of the Belgian Package Travel Act and ensures that you can book a trip with peace of mind.
What is the VVR?
The Association of Flemish Travel Agencies (VVR) is the professional association of travel professionals in Flanders.
The organization represents travel agencies and tour operators and supports its members with advice, training, and sector information.
In addition, the VVR defends the interests of the travel sector at various levels: regional, federal, and European. In doing so, the organization helps to build a strong and professional travel sector.
For travelers, this is an additional signal that a travel organization is active within a professional network.
