Which of these issues does NOT affect the hospitality industry according to government regulations?

Water conservation initiatives are typically supported and encouraged by government regulations rather than seen as a regulatory burden that affects the hospitality industry negatively. In many areas, these initiatives are designed to promote sustainability and responsible resource management, which align with broader environmental goals. They often provide guidelines or incentives for businesses to adopt practices that reduce water usage, which can save costs in the long run.

In contrast, lockout laws, advertising restrictions on alcohol, and health campaigns on food safety directly impose regulations that hospitality businesses must navigate and comply with. Lockout laws can restrict operating hours and affect business profitability, while alcohol advertising restrictions limit how establishments can market their drinks, influencing their marketing strategies. Health campaigns on food safety mandate compliance with sanitary practices and food handling protocols that restaurants and other food-service establishments must adhere to, impacting their operations and training requirements.
