Note: Last available information about the trade “tourist guide activity in tourism” before<br />
amendment <strong>of</strong> the Trade Licensing Act (No. 130/2008 Coll.)<br />
3. The analysis <strong>of</strong> the current legislation <strong>of</strong> tourist guide activities<br />
in the field <strong>of</strong> tourism <strong>and</strong> measures for maintaining<br />
the requirements for pr<strong>of</strong>essional competences <strong>of</strong> tourist<br />
guides in tourism.<br />
3.1 Legal analysis<br />
The most significant change in the area <strong>of</strong> trade licensing regulation <strong>of</strong><br />
tourist guide activities was a Parliament deputies´ proposal presented<br />
during the discussion about the amendment <strong>of</strong> the Trade Licensing Act<br />
(No. 130/2008 Coll.), when the trade “Tourist guide activity in the field <strong>of</strong><br />
tourism” was discharged from the regulated (bound) trades <strong>and</strong><br />
transferred as a new trade “Operating <strong>of</strong> the travel agency <strong>and</strong> tourist<br />
guide activity in the field <strong>of</strong> tourism” to the free trades. At the same time<br />
the Decree <strong>of</strong> the Ministry for Regional Development No. 295/2001 Coll.<br />
“on implementation <strong>and</strong> content <strong>of</strong> the examination <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
competences for the performance <strong>of</strong> tourist guides activities in the field <strong>of</strong><br />
tourism” was cancelled [27].<br />
