Comment (by subrataemfluence):

 Yes, the link you provided does change `&` to `#038` but for me it did not
 happen. I am using the similar code:

 {{{
 echo paginate_links(array(
    'total' => $query->max_num_pages,
    'format' => 'page/%#%',
    'add_args' => array( 'place' => 1, 'type' => 4),
 ));
 }}}

 URLs still come up as
 `http://local.tourplanner.com/page/2?place=1&type=4`.

 Browser: Chrome
 WP Version: 4.7.2
 Theme: Custom (no child theme)

 Two differences between yours and mine are:

 1. My site is still in localhost while yours is hosted
 2. I am using a theme built from scratch, no parent theme used, although I
 believe that should not make any difference in this case.

 Screenshot attached. Neither Status bar nor the Address bar has converted
 `&` to `#038`.
