Right after the Lunar New Year, festivals, many tourist attractions, historical sites, and temples in Ha Tinh attract a large number of people and tourists from all over the world to come and worship. Therefore, shopping and commercial services are bustling, with the risk of unreasonable price increases and oppressing tourists.
To ensure safe and civilized shopping, dining and resting activities for people and tourists, the provincial Market Management Department has strengthened market management and control, preventing the sale of counterfeit goods, goods of unknown origin, and the "ripping off" of customers at business and trading locations, especially at places where spring festivals take place.
Market Management Team No. 4 inspects business activities around the relic site of the Temple of Lady Che Thang Nguyen Thi Bich Chau (Ky Anh Town).
Ms. Tran Thi Hoa - Deputy Head of Market Management Team No. 4 said: "Responsible for managing the areas of Cam Xuyen district, Ky Anh and Ky Anh town, after Tet, the unit focuses on inspecting and controlling business activities of goods and services serving the spring festival, especially essential goods, items consumed by many people. At the same time, propagate and guide service and goods business establishments to comply with legal regulations, especially posting prices and selling goods at the correct listed prices, origin of goods, ensuring good food hygiene and safety. The goal is to prevent negative activities that affect tourists, contributing to ensuring market stability, protecting the rights and interests of consumers".
In other localities, authorities also focus on monitoring the area and performing the task of managing the goods market during the peak festival season after Tet.
Market Management Team No. 2 manages the areas of Can Loc, Nghi Xuan districts and Hong Linh town with many tourist attractions at the beginning of the year such as: Cho Cui temple, Huong Tich pagoda, Dong Loc T-junction relic site... Therefore, after Tet, the unit has concentrated its forces, directly inspected many business locations, focusing on food safety quality and goods prices.
Market management forces inspect and control business establishments in the Huong Tich pagoda area.
According to Mr. Dang Quoc Quy - Deputy Captain of Market Management Team No. 2, after Tet, the unit will continue to implement the Department's plan on the peak of anti-smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit goods in the last months of 2023, before, during and after the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin 2024. Accordingly, strengthen inspection of business activities of organizations and individuals, especially in the temple and pagoda areas where visitors come to worship and visit at the beginning of the year. Thereby, promptly detect and strictly handle violations. In nearly the first 2 months of 2024, Market Management Team No. 2 inspected and handled 31 violations, with a total administrative fine of nearly 100 million VND; the value of confiscated and destroyed violations was nearly 10 million VND.
Thanks to good market management and a civilized business environment, tourists feel secure and have a good impression when they come to Ha Tinh. Ms. Phan Thi Ngoc (Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi) shared: “On the 12th day of the first lunar month, my family went to Cho Cui Temple (Nghi Xuan) to pray for peace and luck at the beginning of the year. Due to the need to go to the temple, I bought some items in the area around the temple and used food services in the area. I found the prices to be reasonable, without any sudden price increases or “ripping off” customers.”
The guaranteed market contributes to creating peace of mind and good impression for tourists about Ha Tinh.
Mr. Nguyen Dinh Khoa - Deputy Director of Ha Tinh Market Management Department said: Ha Tinh Market Management Department has directed its subordinate Market Management teams, especially in areas with many tourist attractions, to proactively take professional measures, strengthen inspection and control work to prevent unreasonable price increases and trading of goods that do not ensure quality. Through inspection work since after Tet until now, basically, business organizations and individuals have complied well with the provisions of the law.
Along with the inspection work, the Market Management Force also coordinated with local authorities and relic site management boards to sign commitments, promote propaganda, and remind commercial service establishments to strictly comply with legal regulations in business. At the same time, it advised people and tourists to call the hotline number 0943294389 when detecting commercial fraud.
