On January 16, Sanya released new provisions for seafood restaurants and vendors that cheat customers, stipulating that they will be fined 20,000-100,000 RMB. The new provisions come in the wake of a growing number of incidents in which customers were scammed at restaurants, receiving bills upwards of 10,000 RMB for ordering a fish and a couple of dishes. Earlier in 2012, the Sanya government also introduced several measures to protect consumers from unscrupulous restaurants, including banning the practice of setting a minimum expenditure price, prohibiting non-food and drink specific charges to be added to the bill and ensuring that all prices are clearly marked.
Tourists who think they've been scammed by a restaurant in Sanya should call 12315 to lodge a complaint.
