 D. Activity

tourism and hospitality establishments encounter. The first group will be the defendant
and the other group will be the plaintiff. Give the students time to discuss the given
situation with their groupmates. Let the students apply the possible law that pertains
to the problem, and exercise their reasoning skills by letting them debate on the given
case and the teacher will stand as a moderator in resolving the dispute.

E. Generalization
● The importance of tourism law cannot be overstated. It is essential for protecting the
rights and interests of both tourists and businesses in the industry. Tourism law helps
to ensure that travelers are safe, secure, and have access to quality services while on
vacation or business trips. Additionally, it provides a framework for resolving disputes
between parties involved in tourism-related activities such as hotels, airlines, tour
operators etc., ensuring fair practices across the board. Furthermore, it can help
protect against fraud or other unethical behavior by providing clear guidelines on what
is acceptable conduct within the industry.
Ultimately, having strong laws governing tourism will create an environment where
everyone benefits from their travels – whether they’re visiting a new country or simply
taking a weekend getaway. Though this, it would definitely help to boost the country’s
economy and for the benefit and welfare of the Filipino people in general.
