Some Remarks on the Origins and Development of the Doctrine of Law of Tourism
Journal Title: Studia Historiae Scientiarum - Year 2014, Vol 13, Issue
Abstract
Due to its mass nature and its economic importance in the modern world, tourism has become the subject of interest of many branches of science, including law. In particular, the main aim of new legal regulations, such as the Act of 29th August 1997 on Tourist Services and the Act of 16th September 2011 on Timeshare, i.e. the right to use tourist facilities, hotels, cottages, apartments etc. within a determined period of time, was to protect tourists against unfair actions and frauds by travel agencies. What is more, the legislature also considered it appropriate to regulate a number of issues concerning the management of tourism. Although the number of provisions relating directly to tourism and concerning especially cross -border travel, in comparison with the standards set before 1989, has strongly decreased, legal problems associated with the current scale of that phenomenon, which require special regulations, are so numerous now that one can speak of a new branch of law, which is generally referred to as “law of tourism” or “law in tourism”. It is, at the moment, taught at more than 100 universities in Poland and has become a subject of intensely developing scientific research.
