Hong Kong Travel Council to Probe Tour Guide Outburst, Morning Post Says

Hong Kong’s Travel Industry Council is investigating a tour guide and travel agency after a video shows the woman hurling insults at tourists for not spending enough money, the South China Morning Post reported, citing Council Chairman Michael Wu.

The guide threatened to lock the tourists out of their hotel rooms because she said they hadn’t bought enough from a jewelry store in the city, according to the Morning Post. The woman told the visitors that while it’s fine to poor in China it’s not in Hong Kong, the newspaper reported.

The council has requested the name of the woman and the travel company she works for from Guangdong satellite TV and the province’s tourism authority so it can take action, the newspaper quoted Wu as saying.
