What is the function of tourism law?

Tourism law in a broad sense refers to the general name of various legal norms that adjust various social relations in the field of tourism activities. This shows that the object of tourism law adjustment mainly refers to the social relations related to tourism or reflecting the characteristics of tourism activities formed in tourism activities (including tourism management, sightseeing and other tourism-related activities). This is the difference between tourism law and other laws. For example, tourists have travel needs, and travel agencies provide services to meet the needs of tourists, forming a relationship between demand and meeting demand. This relationship is realized by buying and selling. Therefore, to establish legal contractual relationship, it is mainly regulated by contract law, consumer rights protection law and other laws. Tourists are also the subjects of other legal relations, and they will also form other social relations, such as property inheritance and marriage, which are regulated by other laws, such as inheritance law and marriage law. Developing tourism is of great significance and role in promoting consumption, transforming economic development mode and improving people's quality of life. Tourism is the inevitable demand and right of the broad masses of people in the current stage of economic and social development, and we should ensure the realization of this right. At present, China's tourism industry has entered a "golden period" of rapid development, but there is still a big gap compared with the requirements of modern service industry that the people are most satisfied with. Our tourism legislation is still lagging behind. In order to provide tourists with safe and orderly services, standardize the tourism market order, improve the tourism environment, correctly handle the relationship between protection and development of tourism resources, and promote the sustainable development of tourism, we should formulate a comprehensive tourism law as soon as possible, establish the industrial status and development measures of China's tourism industry, standardize the rights and obligations related to tourism, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of tourists.
