Increasing the price of a package just before a holiday When is this permissible?

The article discusses the legal framework surrounding price increases for pre-booked tourist packages in Slovenia. According to the Consumer Association of Slovenia, such price hikes are generally prohibited after a contract is signed, except under specific conditions like changes in fuel prices, taxes, or exchange rates. Even then, the organizer must clearly state this possibility in advance, provide a transparent calculation method, and notify consumers at least 20 days before the trip begins. If the increase exceeds eight percent of the agreed price, the consumer has the right to either accept the new price or cancel the agreement without paying a cancellation fee. The article outlines the steps consumers can take if they believe their rights have been violated, including filing complaints with local authorities or the European Consumer Centre in Slovenia.
