Who should compensate for traffic accidents caused by tour groups?

Answer: In the event of a traffic accident involving a tour group, the travel agency should first bear liability for the tourists’ losses, and then seek compensation from the infringing party based on specific circumstances such as the determination of liability for the traffic accident. In order to reduce such business risks, travel agencies can obtain corresponding protection by purchasing insurance. Legal basis: Article 1198 of the "People's Republic of China and Civil Code" Operators and managers of hotels, shopping malls, banks, stations, airports, stadiums, entertainment venues and other business places and public places If a person or organizer of a mass activity fails to fulfill his safety guarantee obligations and causes damage to others, he shall bear tort liability. If damage is caused to others due to the behavior of a third party, the third party shall bear tort liability; if the operator, manager or organizer fails to fulfill the safety guarantee obligations, the third party shall bear corresponding supplementary liability. After the operator, manager or organizer assumes supplementary liability, it may recover compensation from the third party.
