Outdated rules for Jersey hotels, guest houses and campsites have been replaced to give accommodation providers more freedom to modernise.
The new Tourism Order, which comes into force today (23 April), remove several prescriptive rules that no longer reflect 'contemporary traveller expectations'.
The aim is to remove red tape in the hospitality industry to encourage growth and investment.
It removes rules demanding hotels have at least 16 bedrooms, and a dining room and lounge.
They also no longer need to have 'net curtains' up at the windows - replaced by a more flexible requirement for a 'privacy covering'.
Restrictions on where guests may sleep on campsites have also been scrapped, meaning guests can enjoy cabins, campervans, huts, lodges, and pods, or even sleep in the open air.
Guesthouses no longer need to have someone on site for check-in or check-out.
The government says it hopes the changes give providers greater freedom to innovate and invest in their accommodation.
"These changes should enable businesses to innovate, become more profitable, and contribute to a competitive visitor economy."
