The Hungarian Competition Authority (GVH) is assisting consumers in preparing for their travels by providing tips to help them recognize misleading information and avoid unpleasant surprises during their vacations. The GVH pays special attention to the activities of airlines and supports consumer protection procedures within its jurisdiction.

GVH receives numerous complaints regarding the information and practices of airlines. To prevent disputes, consumers are advised to plan their trips carefully. GVH offers guidance in short informational materials on purchasing plane tickets, selecting travel agency programs, booking accommodations online, and renting cars domestically and abroad.

Consumers are advised to pay attention to details such as the content of travel agency offers, baggage policies when buying plane tickets, guest reviews and cancellation policies when booking accommodations online, and included extras and deposit refund conditions when renting a car.

GVH investigates complaints to determine if there are grounds for initiating competition supervision procedures due to potentially unfair commercial practices by the reported businesses. The authority focuses on cases where a business engages in likely illegal practices affecting economic competition significantly.
