Beijing police crack down on illegal acts such as "scalpers" illegally occupying and reselling tickets to scenic spots. On August 22, The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) learned from Beijing police that in order to effectively purify the order of the capital's tourism market, Beijing police relied on the summer public security crackdown and rectification campaign to organize criminal investigation, network security, environmental food and drug tourism corps and Dongcheng, Haidian, Tiananmen and other public security bureaus to set up a special working group to focus on "scalpers" illegally occupying and reselling tickets (reservation quotas) for tourist attractions and key universities and other travel-related issues that the public strongly complained about, and to conduct a full-scale online and offline tracing and investigation, and carry out special investigation and crackdown work throughout the chain.

Since the summer vacation, Beijing police have detained 62 people criminally and 117 people administratively, making every effort to maintain the capital's social order and tourism environment. Beijing police said they will maintain a "zero tolerance" policy for crimes that damage Beijing's image and tourism order, resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of tourists, and continue to crack down on illegal acts such as "scalpers" illegally occupying and reselling tickets for scenic spots. Typical cases are as follows:
