Turismo Lex is a database jointly created by UNWTO and IDB, focusing on legislation applicable to the tourism sector in the LAC region. Its purpose is to gather, categorize, and systematize the regulations relevant to tourism in the region, providing a comprehensive source of information on Tourism Law for both public and private stakeholders in the tourism industry.
The Turismo Lex database covers various sources of Tourism Law, including international treaties and agreements, national and subnational legislation, jurisprudence, recommendations, and other non-binding regulations such as codes promoted by UNWTO. This database is organized by thematic areas, types of regulatory instruments, geographic scope, and the stage in the regulatory cycle. Users have direct access to summaries, document categorization, and, in most cases, complete texts of the documents within the database.
