between central and regional tourism administrations is clearly divided. Tourism 
activities in India and Malaysia are an example of this model and Uzbekistan has 
been following the same path.
In France, tourism regulation is in the hands of the Ministry of Transport and 
Public Works, which includes the State Secretariat of Tourism and Tourism 
Management. And there are many bodies engaged in tourism management. 
Representatives of the central executive bodies, which resolve tourism development 
problems, carry out activities at the regional level.
The international promotion of France as a tourism center is carried out by 
Maison de la France. The association currently comprises around 800 members. The 
association employs over 200 and 33 representatives working in 26 countries of the 
world. The association’s governing body is the board of directors consisting of 27 
members (government officials account for one-third, and two-thirds are 
representatives of private businesses). The association’s activities are 60% funded 
from the state budget.
The UK tourism industry is under the control of the Department for Digital, 
Culture, Media and Sport, and a body that directly coordinates tourism activities (Visit 
Britain) is accountable to the Department. This body works to attract foreign tourists 
to the UK, to develop domestic tourism and is a tourism adviser to the government and 
other government institutions.
Laws, which regulate the tourism industry, can also be considered in the course 
of research. For instance, Serbian tourism laws are based on the Law on Tourism. The 
law governs conditions and methods of planning and tourism development. It covers 
national, provincial and local levels of self-government and provides coordination 
among various levels of power. It also provides for a comprehensive approach 
towards tourism planning and development; proclaims steady use of the tourism 
space, identifies activities of special importance for tourism development; sets 
categories for tourist places and offers financial incentives for tourism development. 
Documents that contain measures to plan and develop tourism activities include the 
tourism development strategy for the Republic of Serbia, a chief strategic plan, a 
strategic marketing plan, a tourist products development program, a tourism 
development program and an advertising program.
In Malta, the law on tourism and tourist services was passed for the purpose
of maintaining tourism development, regulating tourist services and tourist activities,
