여행자 보호를 위한 법적 고찰

Nowadays traveler and traveler complaints have increased very many. But there are no civil law on travel contract, just domestic travel standard agreement and overseas travel standard agreement. This article deals with the recently revised draft bill of civil law of 「Travel Contract」. In Chapter 2 the present status of consumer complaints received during Korea Consumer Agency is roughly summarized. Chapter 3 reviews the status of consumer related law in Korea and Germany. Finally, chapter 4 proposes the improvement schemes for the problems in the recently revised draft bill of civil law of 「Travel Contract」. That part consists of 8 articles. Although there have been a plenty of discussions in the process of revision, I think that subject needs more considerations. Travel contract which is concluded between a traveler and a travel agency is different from a general bilateral contract. In particular, it is meaningful that travel contract becomes one of the typical contracts in the civil law because it can more safely protect travelers who are weak parties in the contracts. In conclusion, I suggest the several problems on revised draft bill of civil law of 「 Travel Contract」, domestic travel standard agreement and overseas travel standard agreement be reconsidered.
