Because of the typhoon, the travel plan was cancelled. Can tourists ask for a refund of fees and bear the responsibility for breach of contract?

Legal analysis: because of the cancellation of travel itinerary caused by typhoon, tourists can ask the merchants to refund the fees, but they cannot ask the merchants to bear the liability for breach of contract.

Legal basis: Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in the Trial of Tourism Dispute Cases.

Thirteenth tourists can ask for the termination of the contract or ask the tour operators to refund the expenses that have not actually occurred. Because the travel contract can't continue to be performed, it can't be blamed on the tour operators and tourism auxiliary service providers, so tourists can't ask the tour operators and tourism auxiliary service providers to bear the liability for breach of contract.
