The Oyo State House of Assembly has passed the State Tourism and Hospitality bill into law.

The bill which was passed during House plenary is meant to regulate tourism and hospitality services in Oyo State.

With the passage of the bill, three laws namely; Hotels (Registration and Classification) Law, 2000, Innkeepers and Hotel Proprietors Law, 2000 and Oyo State Tourism Board Law, 2000 are consequently repealed while it has become practically impossible for anyone to operate tourism and hospitality business without being duly registered.

Presenting the report of the House Committee on Culture and Tourism, the Committee Chairman, Hon Isiaka Tunde,Oyo East/West said the new law was aimed at presenting a comprehensive and detailed legal framework for the regulation and promotion of activities and operations of those in the tourism and hospitality industry in Oyo State.
