The primary objective is to establish a business-friendly and effective regulatory framework for various entertainment venues, including places of public entertainment (PPEs), amusement game centers (AGCs), and amusement rides. PPEs, encompassing concerts, cinemas, circuses, exhibitions, and sporting events, require licensing from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) to ensure compliance with safety regulations covering fire, building, electrical, ventilation, and crowd management aspects. AGCs, catering to both adults and children, are licensed by designated public officers under the Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs. Amusement rides must be approved by the Director of Electrical and Mechanical Services (DEMS) to ensure their safe design, installation, and operation.
