The Advisory Council yesterday discussed a draft law on the establishment of the National Tourism Council which would be under the supervision of the Prime Minister.
The main objective of the draft law is to create the best conditions for the implementation of the national strategy for tourism and to promote comprehensive tourism development plans. The council's regular weekly meeting was held under the chairmanship of Speaker of the Advisory Council HE Ahmed bin Abdullah bin Zaid Al Mahmoud who briefed the council on the outcomes about the summit of the heads of the Arab Parliamentary Councils, which was held in the Moroccan capital Rabat on December 14, within the extraordinary meeting of the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union for discussing the latest developments on the situation of Jerusalem.
The provisions of the draft law on the tourism council included the definition of the conditions and procedures for the licensing of tourist establishments and the licensee's obligations.
The draft law also prohibited the licensee from committing any acts contrary to the law, public order or morals at the licensed tourist establishment. The draft law shall have a board of directors, a chairperson, and a secretary-general.
The Council also discussed another draft law on regulations of business events. The provisions of this draft law specify the conditions and procedures for the licensing of business events, organizers, venues and the obligations of the licensee in addition to ways to waive, transfer and cancel the license. The draft law also identified the authorities conferred upon the Secretary-General and set deterrent penalties for violators.
After deliberation, the Advisory Council decided to refer the draft laws to the Financial and Economic Affairs Committee for further consideration and submitting reports thereon to the Council to accomplish its legal procedures until issuance.
