OBLIGATIONS OF THE CONTRACTING PARTIES UNDER THE ALOTMAN CONTRACT
Summary
Аllotment contract is a specific type of contract on tourist services. The mentioned contract is also regulated by the Law on Obligations. The need for special legal regulation of this contract arose from the business practice itself. Namely, until that moment, the travel agencies concluded a contract with the traveller on organizing the trip. However, the conclusion of the mentioned contract brought the travel agency into various types of business risks, and in theory and practice there was a tendency for a contract that will eliminate the mentioned risks. The first problem that could arise was related to the situation of offering accommodation facilities to the traveller, so that after some time it turns out that they are full. This could put the traveller, as one of the contracting parties, in a state of legal uncertainty. On the other hand, the travel agency would be obliged to pay a fee for all contracted capacities, regardless of the fact that it failed to fill them. Precisely out of the need to eliminate these inconsistencies from practice, allotment agreement was created, which resolved the biggest risks that may arise during the implementation of contractual obligations.
