LEGAL ASPECT IN TOURISM AND HOSITALITY

Tourism law utilizes aspects of contract law, employment issues, tourism and hospitality procedures, antitrust rules, regulatory and agency compliance mechanisms, and substantive areas of aviation, maritime, innkeeper, transportation, and public charter laws. It also spans the areas of tort, criminal, contract, corporate, administrative, and constitutional law. Tourism law is found in national and local, common, and civil traditions, customs, and international treaties. Jurisdiction and procedural rules often determine the outcome of tourism lawsuits based on purchase locations, contract formation, places of service provided, forum non convenience, and the application of choice of law rules

One of the primary legal aspects that employers in hospitality and tourism must address is compliance with labor laws. These laws encompass various aspects, including minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, and employee classification. Failure to adhere to these regulations can result in costly lawsuits and damage to a company’s reputation.
