Ombudsman Velislava Delcheva has called for institutional scrutiny of school day-trip prices, her office announced on 19 October.<\/p>\n
The move follows parents\u2019 complaints about short trips costing \u20ac40\u201350 without meals or admission fees. Letters went to the education and tourism ministries and the consumer protection and competition commissions.<\/p>\n
She seeks views on pricing transparency and proposals to improve affordability. This is a request for scrutiny, not a finding of wrongdoing or an imposed price cap.<\/p>\n
