ABOUT THE IDENTITY AND OBJECTIVES OF TOURIST LAW

Summary/Abstract: This paper undertakes the considerations on the issues of the identity of law in tourism. Law in tourism is one of many disciplines that has a complex and comprehensive character. As in the financial law or the public procurement law, in the tourist law simple dichotomous divisions into private law, public law does not bring the expected results. In such cases, the justifications for distinguishing the law in tourism and seeking criteria for independence and identity lie outside the disciplinary divisions. In case of law in tourism, the reference to the methodological criteria for justifying its distinctiveness seems less convincing. One of the possible ways to demonstrate the distinctiveness and specificity of this law is the reference to the criterion of pragmatism. The social, economic or practical usefulness of this law, the purpose and function it performs, the specificity of the problems it deals with seem to be more justified than focusing on the methodological criteria.
