Hong Kong will step up law enforcement against coerced shopping, unlicensed tour guides and unfair sales practices targeting visitors during mainland China’s Labour Day “golden week”, the city’s tourism minister has said.
Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law Shuk-pui said on Saturday that hotel occupancy rates in Hong Kong were expected to exceed 90 per cent during the period, with the government estimating that 980,000 mainland travellers would visit, up by 7 per cent from the same holiday last year.
Law said authorities would step up enforcement to protect visitors’ rights during the period and called on the public to “cherish our travel reputation”.
