Tough new punishments and heavy fines will be imposed on tourism property owners and operators who contravene rules and regulations, as part of a royal decree. Violators could have the classification of their facilities downgraded .

Tourist operators who violate the existing laws and regulations in the country face severe penalties. The authorities have given a warning that they will take action including downgrading the category of the institutions that are working in violation of the law. Otherwise the establishments will be closed down or their licenses will be revoked. 

In addition, the owners of the establishment will face imprisonment of up to six months and a maximum fine of 30,000 dinars. Bahrain amended the new law in connection with this.
