Those who fail to make an announcement or report to the local people's government will be ordered to make rectification, and if the circumstances are serious, they will be ordered to suspend business for rectification for one to six months. Previously, during the domestic small holiday, many tourists in scenic spots were "full", causing large-scale detention of tourists and causing public concern about the quality and safety of tourism.

The law also balances the rights, obligations and responsibilities among tourists, tour operators and tourism professionals. According to the regulations, tourists shall not harm the legitimate rights and interests of tour operators and tourism professionals in their tourism activities or in resolving disputes.

These regulations protect the rights and interests of tour guides and other tourism professionals.
