The Tourism Law of Mongolia was enacted in May 5, 2000 for the first
time, since Mongolia shifted to the market oriented economy. Its purpose
is to regulate all relationships between state, private citizens and
economic entities engaged in tourism business. The law outlines a
definition for tourism, responsibilities and obligations of the state,
tourism organisations, special permission requirements, structure,
rights and responsibilities of state administrative and overseeing
organisations for the tourism sector, arrangements for the development
of tourism related infrastructure and penalties in case of violation of
the law. The tourism Law was then amended in November 30, 2001 by
enacting the classifications and grading of tour guides, operators and
hotels as mandatory. The Government explains that these regulations are
necessary to improve the quality of services provided by tourism and
related entities. In connection with this law, several regulations were
adopted including the following: "State Monitoring Regulation for
Tourism" by the Government Resolution dated November 8, 2000.
"Regulation of Classification and Grading of Tour Guides" by the Order
No. 149 of Minister of Infrastructure dated on May 15, 2002. "Regulation
of Classification and Grading of Hotels and Tourist Camps" by the Order
No. 150 of Minister of Infrastructure dated May 15, 2002. "Temporary
Regulation of Classification of Tour Operators" by the Order No.229 of
Minister of Infrastructure dated July 31, 2002.
