Abstract
In the Czech Republic, the law on tourism is being prepared again. Such a law has been in the Czech lands for almost a hundred years, although of course with great breaks.
Efforts to create a law began in interwar Czechoslovakia in 1927 but were unsuccessful. During the communist era, the law was not necessary because the regime-controlled tourism.
The law was being intensively prepared in 2010-2014 and now in recent months. The law aims to streamline the so-called destination management and align tourism organizations with the functioning of public administration.
The aim of the article is to analyze long-term development trends and their influence on today's preparation. A possible new law was also assessed in terms of its position in the legal regulation of tourism.
In summary, the legal regulation of tourism is relatively complicated. The law must come to terms with the complex system of Czech public administration.
To pass the law, the main will solve the issue of funding. According to the author, whether the law will be created in the Czech Republic is uncertain.
Some countries, such as Slovakia, have a similar law, but others do not.
