The Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents could reimburse you the cost of services paid to a travel agency or compensate you, such as in the the situations described below.
The Fund will reimburse or compensate you on the condition that you are not otherwise reimbursed or compensated, e.g. by your travel agency or by a tourism services provider. To establish a reimbursement, the Office de la protection du consommateur evaluates whether the amount claimed is reasonable. The fact that you cannot unjustifiably enrich yourself is taken into consideration, among other things.
A strike, a bankruptcy, an unforeseen closure or a storm affects your air carrier or cruise line and prevents you from receiving their services. The Fund could also reimburse you if a flight cancellation or delay causes you to miss overnight stays at a hotel or a tourist activity included in your package.
