The thing is not that the companies are at fault for sending them to these places but rather that they did not warn them about the dangers. In the same way that smoking companies did not warn of the dangers of smoking.

Unlike those smoking companies however I do not think that travel companies are responsible for the danger. They are selling flights and accommodations, they do not sell the sun. I do think that they should warn people and give more advice as they have a responsibility to their customers (its just not a legal one).

Thankfully a lot of awareness has been raised in recent years and the danger of the sun have finally started to be understood, even by those who think the sun is healthy.
