(Central News Agency, reporter Zhang Rongxiang, Tainan, 10th) Amid a recent spate of voyeurism incidents, the Tainan City Government is promoting an 'anti-hidden camera self-inspection' initiative for the hotel industry, aiming to eradicate illegal filming through inspections. Since May 1, 103 inspections have been carried out, and no illegal hidden cameras have been discovered.
The Tainan City Government's Tourism and Travel Bureau stated today that the 'anti-hidden camera self-inspection' initiative aims to protect the privacy and safety of travelers while strengthening the privacy security management of the hotel industry. It requires operators to implement self-management, emphasizing that providing a safe and private accommodation environment is a shared responsibility of the city government and the industry.
The Bureau stated that a high-quality accommodation environment is built on the trust of travelers, and privacy security is of utmost importance. Tainan City's anti-hidden camera management has been fully activated. Hotel operators must conduct self-initiated anti-hidden camera detection at least once a month and keep records of the test results for future reference.
Furthermore, during routine inspections, the Bureau also guides and confirms whether hotel operators are conducting self-initiated anti-hidden camera detection. It may form ad-hoc inspection teams or conduct immediate anti-hidden camera checks for facilities with security concerns. If illegal hidden cameras are found, they will be reported in accordance with the law.
The Bureau reminded hotel operators to conduct comprehensive inspections and detection in private areas within their business premises that are prone to hidden camera installation, such as rooms, toilets, bathrooms, changing rooms, nursing rooms, or similar facilities. If suspicious equipment is found, they should immediately report it to the police. If travelers discover suspicious equipment upon check-in, they should immediately inform the operator or call the police hotline. (Editor: Li Hengshan) 1150610
