Well here’s a landmark court ruling that could have implications for the ways that tens of millions of Germans vacation (thanks to @istrakhov for flagging this)… 😉
The traveler claimed that despite waking up at the crack of dawn every morning and conducting a 20-minute search for sun loungers, he was unable to actually secure any… throughout the entire stay!
While the hotel initially agreed to offer a partial refund, a district court in Germany ruled that the family was entitled to a larger sum, and claimed that the tour operator that sold the vacation was responsible. The concept of “towel wars” is nothing new at select European resorts popular with some Germans and Brits, where people get up very early, lay claim to sun loungers, and then prevent others from using them.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
