Abstract
China’s first Tourism Law came into force on October 1, 2013 with the purpose of regulating malpractices in the tourism industry, in particular coercive shopping, low price, and poor quality tours. It is still not clear how it has impacted on travelers and the relevant stakeholders, such as destinations and travel agencies. As an exploratory study, the authors have identified and analyzed the possible outcomes of the Tourism Law’s impacts on various stakeholders and pointed directions for future research on this topic.
为了规范旅游行业中的不当行为，尤其是强制购物和低价低质团，中华人民共和国于2013年10月1日正式颁布和实施了第一部旅游法。旅游法将如何影响旅客及旅游业相关的持份者？通过探索性研究，本文分析了旅游法对旅游相关持份者可能带来的影响，并探讨了未来的研究方向。
