An operator who fails to take all reasonable security precautions for the checking in of a tourist at the tourist accommodation which he is licensed to operate shall be guilty of an offence.
For the purposes of this section —
an operator fails to take all reasonable security precautions if —
he has not been present at the checking in of the tourist and has not delegated supervision of the checking in to an authorised person; or
he or an authorised person has left the keys to any part of the licensed tourist accommodation in a place which is not under the immediate supervision of the operator or an authorised person; and
a person is authorised to supervise the checking in of a tourist at licensed tourist accommodation —
if he has been authorised in writing by the operator of that tourist accommodation in respect of the checking in there of tourists; and
the operator has sent a return to the Board giving the prescribed details of each such authorised person.
A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to a fine of one thousand dollars and to imprisonment for six months.
In any proceedings for an offence under this section, it shall be a defence for the operator charged to prove that he took all reasonable precautions and exercised all due diligence to avoid the commission of the offence.
