Thankfully, if you book package holidays from Spain, tougher rules on refunds, vouchers and cancellations could be on the way. What is changing for holidays booked from SpainGood news for anyone booking a package holiday from Spain. Stronger refund rights, better protection if travel companies collapse, and clearer rules on vouchers are all on their way. The changes come from a major update to Europe’s package travel rules, Directive (EU) 2026/1024, and they’re designed to fix exactly the problems that left so many travellers frustrated during the Covid-era travel chaos. An add-on like a transfer or excursion only triggers full package protection if it’s at least 25% of the total cost, or clearly essential to the trip.
