E.g. there are tourism associations which provide rules for classification of hospitality enterprises, quality certificates for tour guides etc. I am interested in particular in comparision studies between such organizations and state regulation.

Thought they may fit with self-regulation.
Actually these works are from psychology and I am looking for rather economic side of regulation of tourism market.

Hi Adam! Have you chose any specific area? For example, organizations of transport or agencies and tours operators?
In Brazil we have a federal law that is the beginning of a regulation and some specific initiatives in different areas. We also have been improving the methods of monitoring the tourism market to identify where more regulation is needed and where the regulation are ineffective.
Dear Karen,
