Explanation:

Rajasthan Tourism Trade (Facilitation and Regulation) Act was brought in 2010, with twin fold objective to boost tourism in the state and to prevent misbehaviour with tourists.

However, there were certain lacunae in the legislation that rendered it toothless and the authorities unclear about the use and implementation of the new law.

As it was not mentioned whether the offence was bailable or non-bailable and therefore, an urgent need was felt for change, necessitating the law to be amended.

An amendment bill was passed in the state assembly recently to insert a new section 27-A in the Rajasthan Tourism Trade (Facilitation and Regulation) Act, 2010.

Misbehaviour with tourists will now be a cognizable offence in Rajasthan and a non-bailable one if repeated.
