Grassroots group People Power Macau Chairman Si Tou Fai told reporters yesterday that his group has provided the government with four suggestions of how to clamp down on illegal tour guides and illegal tour groups.
Si listed four ways to tackle the issue: setting up a cross-departmental joint law enforcement team; improving crime detection and evidence gathering; cooperating with law enforcement agencies on the mainland; and checking if illegal tour guides are using “new tricks” to avoid inspections.
Si made the remarks while speaking to reporters before yesterday’s closed-door meeting with Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO) officials on the premises of the office in Nape.
