This Act establishes a legal framework for regulating tourism businesses in Jharkhand to ensure visitor safety and fair practices. It applies to hotels, resorts, adventure sports operators, and guides across the state. By requiring registration and standardizing operations, the law aims to protect tourists from malpractices like touting, bribery, and overcharging while encouraging the development of safe adventure sports facilities. It gives the government the power to enforce temporary exemptions for specific institutions and monitor seasonality, ultimately fostering a professional and reliable tourism environment for travelers.
