Sanya creates police unit to aid tourists

Sanya, a coastal resort city in Hainan province, has established a special police force targeting irregularities in the tourism industry.

The move came after a series of scandals elsewhere in China were exposed by the media during the National Day holiday from Oct 1 to 7.

A tourist's complaint of being overcharged for a seafood dinner at a restaurant in Qingdao, Shandong province, triggered public concerns.
