This law aims to promote tourism in Nagaland by requiring anyone selling goods, running hotels, or arranging travel for visitors to register with the government. It applies to all such businesses across the state. The Act matters because it sets rules to stop unfair practices like overcharging, touting, or misleading tourists. By maintaining a list of registered and blacklisted dealers, the government ensures that visitors receive fair prices and quality services, ultimately helping the state grow its tourism industry safely and transparently.
