Health, safety and security legislations are very important in the tour and travel
mechanism(Forno and Garibaldi, 2015). There are various kind of rules and regulation which are
related to the health, safety and security. All these legislations are required to be followed by the
travel agencies(Gössling, Scott and Hall, 2013). Herein, Costco travel agency is chosen that
should follow all the legislation of above mentioned factors. It is established at UK and offers
various travelling services to the clients. There are various kind of acts which are designed by the
European legislation. The Costco travel agency is following below mentioned acts:
 Health and safety at work act, 1974- Health and safety at work act is related to
managing the health and safe environment for the customers. Travel agencies are
needed to follow this act because it is necessary to keep the clients away from the
unhealthy and unsafe tourism place. The Costco travel agency is applying this act
in their travelling packages and try to satisfy the customers by sending them at
safe places. As well as this act is also helpful for providing healthy food and other
services at the tourist places.
