In view of the many fire incidents with major casualties at home and abroad in recent years, in order to comprehensively strengthen the fire safety management system, the Legislative Yuan recently completed the third reading of the amendment to the Fire Protection Law, which is also the largest adjustment after the Fire Protection Law was promulgated and implemented. The Municipal Tourism and Tourism Bureau specifically reminds hotel operators that multiple amendments are closely related to the operation of the hotel industry, and they must be strictly complied with and strengthen self-management to jointly ensure the safety of tourists and the public.
Mayor Huang Weizhe pointed out that Tainan has become the first choice for tourists in recent years. There is an endless stream of tourists and they also like to stay in Tainan. Therefore, ensuring tourist accommodation and public safety has always been the focus of the city government team's governance. Mayor Huang Weizhe specially instructed the Municipal Tourism Bureau, Fire Department, Police Department, Public Works Bureau, Health Bureau and other agencies to jointly inspect the legal lodging industry within their jurisdiction at least once a year, and those found to violate regulations will be punished according to regulations. Relevant implementation results have been highly affirmed by the assessment committee members in the central hotel business assessment over the years, and it has also allowed the Tainan City Government to win the excellent hotel business assessment for four consecutive years since 2018. However, fire safety is not only the business responsibility of government agencies. The hotel industry should implement maintenance and self-inspection work in the most rigorous and prudent manner to ensure passenger accommodation and public safety.
Lin Guohua, Acting Director of the Tourism and Tourism Bureau, said that the Legislative Yuan completed the third reading of the fire protection law amendment at the end of May this year (112), which has a great impact on the operation of the hotel industry. He also called on the hotel industry to pay attention to the changes in regulations and actively implement fire safety management and equipment maintenance. Acting director Lin Guohua further pointed out that in the past, when the fire safety equipment of the business premises was inspected and found to be faulty or missing, the fire department would ask them to make improvements within a time limit. If it is found that there is a missing fire station, it can be fined directly, and the amount of fines has been greatly increased from the current NT$6,000 to NT$50,000 to NT$20,000 to NT$300,000. The hotel industry should especially strengthen self-inspection. In addition, because most of the homestays are small-scale operations, the regulations do not require the establishment of dedicated fire management personnel. Acting Director Lin Guohua suggested that homestay operators should conduct a comprehensive inspection of the residential fire alarms and emergency lights in the homestay on their birthdays every year. At the same time, it also checks whether the fire extinguisher powder is expired and needs to be refilled, and ensures that the passenger evacuation line is smooth at any time, and strengthens passenger accommodation and public safety through the implementation of self-inspection. Acting director Lin Guohua also reminded tourists again that the city government team regularly inspects legal hotels and homestays, and choosing to stay in legal operators is safe, secure and guaranteed. You can check for legal lodging on the " Taiwan Travel Network " of the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Communications or the city government's " Tainan Travel Network " list.
