Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הגנת הצרכן (תיקון - ביטול עסקת מכר מרחוק למתן שירותי תיירות בישראל)

TL;DRThe proposal allows Israeli businesses to sell tourism services in Israel without a right of cancellation, provided that the price is lower than similar services with a right of cancellation.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Consumer Protection Law regarding remote sale transactions of tourism services. It removes the requirement that Israeli businesses offer tourism services only abroad, and allows them to also offer services in Israel without a right of cancellation. To protect the consumer, the provision applies only if the service without a right of cancellation is not more expensive than the same business's similar service with a right of cancellation on the same dates.
