Two Africa tour operators have sued the Foreign Office's travel warnings for Mauritius, Namibia, the Seychelles, Rwanda and Tanzania. But the reasons leave a lot to be desired.
The Higher Administrative Court of Berlin-Brandenburg goes hand in hand with the opinion of the Administrative Court, which had already dismissed the complaints of the organizers Akwaba Travel and Elangeni African Adventures in July of last year, and has now finally confirmed its decision. The plaintiffs felt that the warnings restricted their professional freedom, among other things. The judges have now declared that there is no interference with the freedom of occupation because the travel warning is not directed against specific travel providers, but is only intended to enable potential travelers to make an independent decision through information on travel countries. The tour operators could also not claim unequal treatment, since the restriction to non-European travel destinations is based solely on their own business decision. This would tie the travel operators' hands. Because the judgment is no longer contestable, reports Reisevor9.de.
