What is the legal and regulatory framework of tourism in Britain? What about China?

Britain belongs to the Anglo-American legal system, and its basic legal system and case law follow the precedent, but there are still laws on tourism, such as the British Tourism Development Act promulgated and implemented in 1969, aiming at promoting the development of British tourism; 1985 enacted the regulations on tour wholesalers and travel agencies, and promulgated the regulations on package tour, package vacation and package tour in Britain according to relevant EU laws. In addition, Britain has made regulations on the management of tourist hotels and tour guides, the development and protection of tourist attractions. Protect the development of domestic tourism by legislation.

Contrast China:

As a statutory country like China, the tourism industry is developing rapidly, which urgently needs a basic tourism law as a "superior law" to regulate. Therefore, the promulgation of the current tourism law has lagged behind the pace of tourism development. Compared with foreign tourism legislation, China's tourism legislation is relatively backward, which is mainly manifested in the inadaptability of tourism legislation, low legislative rank and rough legislative technology, which is very unfavorable for China's tourism industry to implement the strategy of "governing tourism according to law".

(1) The Basic Law on Tourism has not yet been promulgated, which is incompatible with the speed of China's tourism development, its impact on the national economy and its contribution to society, and is far from establishing a sound market economy.

(2) The tourism legal system is not perfect, and the legal system construction is ineffective. Its outstanding performance is: some important legal norms are absent, and there is no basis for dispute resolution; Existing laws and regulations or departmental rules are not strict in legislative technology; The content of existing legal norms lags behind, which leads to the challenge of legal authority.

(3) Paying more attention to public law than private law is far from the requirements of WTO. Market economy is a legal economy, market subjects need to engage in business activities according to law, and tourists should also abide by the corresponding rules of the game.

(4) The existing laws and regulations or departmental rules are not rigorous enough in legislative technology. The formulation of relevant administrative regulations has exceeded the authority of the department, and even created benefits for the department through legislation, so the quality of the regulations has been greatly reduced.

(5) The abnormal situation of local legislation and national legislation is a potential risk factor for establishing a unified national tourism legal system in the future.
