Hong Kong tour guide stripped of licence over coercing visitors into shopping

Hong Kong's Travel Industry Authority has revoked the tour guide license of Siu Man-chung. This action was taken after an investigation into complaints that Siu made inappropriate remarks to pressure inbound mainland Chinese visitors into shopping during tours conducted between February and April of this year. The authority stated that this disciplinary action was in accordance with the Travel Industry Ordinance. The decision to revoke Siu's license was made on Friday. This is the second such disciplinary action against a tour guide in less than two months, with the authority citing damage to the sector's reputation and breaches of professional conduct.
