Li Jiachao: Cross-departmental coordination of the 11th Golden Week will crack down on bad practices such as forced shopping

The Zhitong Finance App learned that the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Li Jiachao, said in response to reporters' questions that the 11th Golden Week is approaching, there will be an interdepartmental coordination meeting. When Golden Week begins, the Government Security Bureau's Accident Support Center will also be launched. He mentioned that the dissemination of information will be strengthened, including weather, traffic arrangements, information on attractions, etc., and that the number of police and attraction management personnel will be increased.

As for the implementation of scheduled visits to Breaking Bian Chau, Li Jiachao said that the initial operation was smooth. It is expected that the number of people will increase during Golden Week, and he is more hopeful that the number of people will be managed using registration methods. The Fisheries Protection Department will also increase manpower to remind visitors to protect the environment, dispose of garbage and ensure order, and assist visitors to use the registration system.

Regarding forced shopping by tour groups, Li Jiachao pointed out that the situation has had a negative impact on Hong Kong's overall travel reputation and will definitely be severely cracked down; travel agencies or tour guides will use their powers to take action, including canceling the registration of the travel agency or tour guide concerned if it actually violates the regulations. However, some registered stores will also be cracked down according to law to ensure that travelers have a good experience.
