Tour guide's licence revoked

04-09-2010

The Travel Industry Council has revoked with immediate effect the licence of a Hong Kong tour guide who was filmed berating a group of mainland visitors for failing to spend enough at a jewellery store.

Lee Hau-chun's case had sparked an uproar on the mainland.

The council's Executive Director, Joseph Tung, said Ms Lee had committed a serious breach of its code of practice. The tour guide has two weeks to file an appeal.

Her former employer, Golden Win International Travel Services, was fined $HK47,500 over the case.
