LA «GARANTÍA» DE OCUPACIÓN EFECTIVA EN EL CONTRATO DE RESERVA DE PLAZAS DE ALOJAMIENTO EN RÉGIMEN DE CONTINGENTE.

Abstract

The object of this commentary is to determine, in the light of case law on the matter, the cases where a travel agency, in contracts reserving accommodations under a contingent scheme, assumes an obligation to provide a result and consequently «guarantees» actual occupation of the reserved accommodation slots. One point on which special emphasis shall be laid is the legal grounds for this «guarantee», which will lead inevitably to the topic of the legal nature of the contract.
