§ 52101. Legislative Intent

The tourism industry is very important to the economic development of the territory of Guam. Although tourism has benefitted many people in the territory certain business practices within the industry have kept the small vendor from effectively competing against other vendors who solicit business from the tourists who visit the territory's parks. In the interest of promoting competition and fair business practices within the tourism industry, it is the intent of the Legislature to give small park vendors an equal chance of obtaining business from visitors to the territory
