Staff member of unlicensed guesthouses fined
Guesthouse operators are reminded today (Thursday) that they must operate their establishments only after they have obtained a licence from the Home Affairs Department (HAD) or risk facing a maximum penalty of $200,000 in fines and two years' imprisonment.
An HAD spokesman issued the warning after a staff member of two unlicensed guesthouses was fined a total of $15,000 in San Po Kong Magistracy.
During an operation in December last year, officers of HAD's Licensing Authority inspected the two premises on the ground floor and first floor, 41 Cumberland Road and found that they were being operated as guesthouses without a licence, contrary to Section 5 of the Hotel and Guesthouse Accommodation Ordinance.
The spokesman said unlicensed guesthouses would not be tolerated and enforcement action would continue to be taken to eliminate such premises.
He also appealed to members of the public to continue to help in the crackdown on unlicensed guesthouses by reporting them to the Licensing Authority on 2881 7034.
