The research aims: to analyze tourism business legal framework in Georgia, the basic laws and regulations, evaluate the tourism industry in the context of current legal environment and offer the recommendations for stimulating and supporting legal reforms. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study: We will discuss tourism business in Georgia in the regulatory legislative framework, including the Law of Georgia "Tourism Law" (1997), the Law of Georgia "On Resorts and Resort Sanitary Protection Zones" (1998), the Civil Code of Georgia (tourist services: Articles 657-667), The Tax Code (regulates the activities of the tourism industry), The Law of the Free Tourist Zone Development and several other government orders and the commands of the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development.
