Gov’t clampdown on unlicensed vendors

Joey Hew, Councillor, Ministry of District Administration, Tourism & Transport

(CNS Business): Tourism bosses tell CNS Business it’s time to put a stop to unlicensed vendors and operations happening along our beaches and cruise port. The docks in George Town have been used for many years by Caymanian entrepreneurs to sell their crafts and items to tourists as they step off the cruise ships. However, Tourism Councillor Joey Hew said right now these areas are seeing an increase of “hagglers” as well as vendors operating without proper licensing. He added, “Some are licensed but not licensed to sell on public property and that’s where the anomaly comes in.”
