TOURISM REGULATIONS 2026

Under the KTF umbrella, we appeared before the Senate Committee on Delegated Legislation to present our position on the recently published Tourism Regulations 2026. We continue championing the hospitality sector—calling for a business-friendly regulatory framework that reduces compliance costs, streamlines licensing, phases in new requirements, and protects jobs.

We will keep engaging stakeholders to secure practical, cost-effective outcomes.
