AIAV, AIDIT, Assoviaggi Confesercenti, FIAVET Confcommercio, and MAAVI warn that the current wording could lead to numerous disputes harming organized tourism. They advocate for a balance of interests and suggest the option of offering vouchers or monetary refunds, a practice that proved beneficial during COVID, to protect both operators and consumers.
