Govt urged to change laws on holiday sickness claims
ABTA is calling on agents and operators to back their fight to stop a sharp rise in sickness claims by holidaymakers.
It wants members to share their own experiences and provide evidence of the problem, which they say has escalated in recent years.
ABTA believes the rise in claims coincided with changes in the law in 2012 which limits legal costs in other sectors, such as motor insurance, which has made cases like whiplash claims less profitable for claims companies.
Instead, these companies have turned their efforts to holiday sickness claims as a way of making money
