Havana, December 9 - The main legal challenges related to the travel industry in the era of digital transformation, artificial intelligence, new platforms, accessibility, sustainability, and foreign investment will be discussed in Havana from December 9 to 11, during the III International Seminar on Tourism Law.
Legal experts and professionals from this industry are invited, including ministers, heads of national tourism administrations, government officials, representatives of international organizations, academics and researchers, university professors and experts, and representatives of business groups.
The meeting is part of the plan to consolidate the subject as an autonomous branch of Law, while also promoting a vision on the urgent need for an international codification of the sector under the leadership of UN Tourism, one of the organizers of the meeting, along with the Ministry of Tourism (Mintur, for its acronym in Spanish) and the University of Havana.
The III Seminar will promote analysis of the growing participation of large platforms in tourism marketing processes and the need to regulate and establish certain limits of protection for consumers.
Another focus will be the legal and regulatory challenges related to short-term rentals and accommodation services offered by hosts through online platforms; the impact of smart destinations on marketing; and the regulations for their development within an environment of order and protection for both customers and service providers.
Other areas for analysis include sustainability and accessibility in the context of new regulatory projections, regulatory experiences, and foreign investment understood as a dynamic element of tourism development.
As published by the website of UN Tourism, the Seminar maintains its academic and legal orientation, and aims to offer an expression of continuity in relation to the two previous meetings, the first of which took place in Spain, and the second one in Argentina.
