中英旅游合同违约精神损害赔偿之比较分析

The Comparative Analysis of Chinese and English Moral Damages of Default in Travel Contract

我国的精神损害赔偿仅存在于侵权责任中,因此,旅游者基于旅游经营商的违约行为提起精神损害赔偿之诉往往得不到支持,而英国早在1973年即确立了旅游合同中得以主张违约精神损害赔偿的规则。尽管有不少学者提出种种理由反对违约精神损害赔偿,但于法理上难以周延。旅游合同因其特殊性,设立违约精神损害赔偿制度确有必要。

Since the moral damage only applies to tort liability in our country, the claims that tourists sue the defaults of tour operators for moral damages will not be supported.However, in the UK, the system for moral damage caused by default has been established in 1973. Although there are many scholars opposing the moral damage can be accepted in default, their arguments are untenable in legal principle.So, for the specificities of travel contract, it is necessary to establish the system for moral damage caused by default.
