"The growth of tourism as a significant industry has highlighted the necessity for a positive working relationship between travellers and service providers. Let's understand why we need a tourism law. The goal of travel legislation, according to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), is to provide a legal framework for the proper growth and administration of tourism-related activities. Ideally, this will contribute to the protection of cultural traditions as well as natural resources. Additionally, travel businesses and customers are given fundamental legal protection. However, there is a notable lack of enforcement of tourism legislation worldwide, hence, it is understandable that popular nations also struggle to monitor and enforce regulations designed to safeguard tourists. Tourist laws currently in effect are identical to those that are governed by Indian law and the judiciary. Numerous laws have an effect on or are associated with tourism, both directly and indirectly. The Indian government has not enacted any tourist legislation or any central tourism legislation. This book deals with the legal aspects of tourism. The central focus of this book is the interaction between law and tourism, with the view to attaining sustainable tourism. The book achieves its goal by approaching law and tourism from various angles. This is a must read one is good for teaching tourism regulations in India for tourism graduate students"-- Back cover.
