INTRODUCTION
The objective of this report is to evaluate the Canadian Hospitality Law and the
hospitality law of India to understand the key provisions which companies have to
comply with while they establish their operations in both nations. This report will
evaluate the key similarities and differences between the two countries in relation to
hospitality law and understand the key aspects which companies have to take into
consideration in order to avoid legal penalties.
HOSPITALITY LAW OF CANADA AND INDIA
SERVICE AND SALE OF ALCOHOL
While expanding the operations in international markets, hospitality companies
have to ensure that they get appropriate licenses for selling alcohol or else they have to
pay heavy fines. In Canada, the Intoxicating Liquors Act 1928 provides provisions
regarding transportation, selling, delivery and import of liquor (Popova et al., 2012).
The hospitality companies that wanted to offer the facility of liquor have to apply for
various licenses under the Liquor Licence Act (LLA) which provides provisions
regarding possession and licensing of alcohol. The LLA applies to the hospitality
companies that are operating in Ontario. While offering an online alcohol delivery
service to customers, companies have to acquire an adequate license for their
operations (Stockwell et al., 2015).
However, in India, the provisions regarding alcohol laws are considerably
different than compared to Canada. Hospitality companies cannot sell alcohol through
online mediums since selling alcohol online is ban in India. When it comes to getting
licenses for possession, licencing and selling of alcohol, hospitality companies have to
get licenses from the Exercise Department (Schibach, 2019). The State exercise
department is responsible for evaluating the application of the hotel and issue a license
to sell alcoholic beverages. When comparing with Canadian laws, the process of getting
alcohol selling license in India is considerably difficult.
