Hong Kong's Licensing Authority has updated guidelines for guesthouse licenses to include campsites, motorhome parks, and tent camps. Authorities are considering allowing motorhomes to legally drive on roads, which is currently prohibited. The Transport Department previously refused registration due to limited road capacity and lack of facilities, but with the 'Guangdong Cars South' program expanding to 200 daily quotas from July 25 and plans to cover all 21 cities in Guangdong by Q1 2026, relaxation is being discussed.

The Home Affairs Department issued two guidelines on licensing guesthouses, building campsites, RV parks, tent sites, and village houses. All unauthorized building works in village houses must be removed and the original layout restored. Campsites must have 24-hour staff, and a five-meter no-fire zone is required around each RV or tent. Renting out grassland without fixed structures may be exempt from licensing.
