The authors briefly present the issues of the protection of travellers in case of the insolvency of tour operators and related tourist services. The reflections are primarily focused on the analysis of the tasks of the Marshal of the Voivodship in this respect and their legal nature. The subject of the study is primarily to present the current legal status, the position of the judiciary, and a legal and comparative analysis of the EU regulations with Polish regulations. The analysis is carried out from the perspective of the legitimacy of entrusting these tasks to the Marshal of the Voivodship, and consequently ensuring the effective protection of travellers. The article uses the theoretical-dogmatic, historical, and legal-comparative method. The reflections are based on a comparison of selected institutions of law functioning in the system of Polish law and legal solutions in force in the EU law.
