Regulation of the tourism industry has made good progress since a law was passed more than a year ago, according to a report put forward during the start of China's bimonthly lawmaking session.
Since a tourism law took effect on Oct 1, 2013, market order has improved, service levels have increased, the market has expanded and the industry has further developed, according to the report.
The visual report was based on inspections by the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee in September. It was presented to China's top legislature during the bimonthly session, which will last from Monday to Sunday.
The tourism law aims to regulate the market and improve services. It bans profiteering from dodgy practices like obligatory shopping outings on tours and rules that scenic spots must not receive visitors beyond their capacities.
