Resumo: In recent years, the implementation of new technologies or ICTs in the tourism sector has benefitted from the power of the Internet to enable the instant checking of whether a service provider exists or the veracity and conditions of the service. The increase of ecommerce in tourist services requires the providers of these services and the tourists to take into account the different legal standards which apply to the information society services, particularly Law 34/2002 of 11 July, on Services of the Information Society and Electronic Commerce (LSSI), the rules of consumption. Furthermore, the new Directive 2015/2302 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on package travel and linked travel arrangements provides new regulations for package travel and the so-called 'package services ' which apply to new forms of online tourism service procurement.
