AI Summary
This bill establishes the Massachusetts Travelers Bill of Rights, which requires businesses offering international travel services to provide consumers with clear and conspicuous information about potential health and safety risks associated with overseas vacation destinations. Key provisions include requiring businesses to provide information on services available at destinations, such as medical personnel, CPR-trained staff, and lifeguards, as well as notification if certain health and safety services are not available. The bill also requires businesses to establish a process to suspend destinations with consumer complaints about poor medical care or unsafe facilities. Violations would be treated as unfair or deceptive practices under the state's consumer protection law.
