§ 1. Scope (virkeområde)

The Act applies to package holidays (pakkereiser) that traders (næringsdrivende) offer for sale or sell to travellers (reisende), and to linked travel arrangements (sammensatte reisearrangementer) that traders facilitate for travellers. The Act also applies to traders who are not established in the Realm, but who direct their activities under the first sentence at travellers in the Realm.

The King (Kongen) may by regulations (forskrift) determine to what extent the Act shall apply to Svalbard and Jan Mayen and may lay down special rules in view of local conditions.

What does this mean?

The section states who and what the Act applies to. The core is the purchase of package holidays and linked travel arrangements (several travel services (reisetjenester) for the same trip) from a trader. It makes no difference whether the seller is based abroad, as long as the marketing is directed at Norway. The second subsection allows the King to decide by regulations how much of the Act shall apply on Svalbard and Jan Mayen, with special rules for the conditions there. The definitions of package holiday and linked travel arrangement are in § 6 and § 7, while the exceptions are in § 2.
