Indeed, several studies have highlighted that transport and tourism sector are dealing with a high number of consumer complaints, especially in the field of air passengers rights. Where national legislation makes the participation in such procedures voluntary, Member States should ensure that traders that choose not to participate are required to make the explanation for such choice publicly available.
