Operation to crack down on unlicensed guesthouses
Three men and two women suspected of running unlicensed guesthouses have been arrested.
A total of 12 suspected unlicensed guesthouses at Chungking Mansions in Tsim Sha Tsui were inspected yesterday (Wednesday) by officers of the Home Affairs Department (HAD) in a joint operation with the Police.
Three were found to be operating illegally.
Assistant Director of Home Affairs Mr Tim Stephenson said the enforcement operation was aimed at ensuring the safety of guesthouses and eliminating those guesthouses operating outside the law.
"The HAD will continue with its enforcement programme and will give no quarter to operators who break the law," he added.
At present, there are 369 licensed tourist guesthouses. A total of 200 have been closed down since the department launched its campaign against unlicensed guesthouses in September 1993.
Mr Stephenson also called on the public to report suspected unlicensed guesthouses to HAD's Office of the Licensing Authority by telephoning 2881 7034
