Summary/Abstract: The subject of this research paper is the analysis of economic activities in the area of tourist services in the context of the economic freedom. The paper mainly focuses on the legal aspect of a business activity as part of the provision of tourist services and regulatory restrictions applied in this economic sector. It should be pointed out that the author’s point of view is part of a heated discussion about expanding the scope of the freedom of economic activity by limiting its state regulation. It is advocated that restrictions of the economic freedom should be as infrequent and least intrusive possible for entrepreneurs. In legal terms, it should be noted that the area of regulation of providing tourist services has been deregulated only with regard to legal barriers to market entry, that is, barriers to engage in this activity in the first place. The range of state regulation on the provision of tourist services is constantly increasing in relation to substantive provisions; this is a consequence of EU regulations as well as the needs related to the protection of the beneficiaries.
