Hong Kong propone supervisión para los cibercafés que ofrecen pernoctación

Las autoridades de Hong Kong están considerando dos vías para regular los cibercafés que ofrecen alojamiento nocturno. La medida se produce debido a que algunos establecimientos en áreas como Mong Kok proporcionan cabinas privadas para los jugadores. Actualmente, los operadores se arriesgan a funcionar sin las licencias requeridas.

En un establecimiento de Mong Kok, los clientes pueden alquilar cabinas privadas por 200 HK$ la noche. Estas incluyen un ordenador de sobremesa para juegos, un sofá cama, opciones de comida y servicio de lavandería. Un suplemento de 9 HK$ cubre el acceso a una ducha caliente, mientras que los artículos de higiene cuestan unos 28,80 HK$. La inscripción requiere una tarjeta de identidad de Hong Kong, un permiso de salida y entrada o un pasaporte. Las tarifas por hora en otras zonas oscilan entre los 25,80 HK$ y los 35,80 HK$. Dichos servicios nocturnos requieren una licencia de hotel o casa de huéspedes bajo las normas actuales. Las propuestas pretenden incluir estos locales en la Ordenanza de Centros de Juegos de Diversión. Las discusiones también hacen referencia al sector de los deportes electrónicos y a las posibles oportunidades de crecimiento.
