Absolutely prohibit "price gouging" and spontaneous camping.
The weather in Da Lat in the last days of 2023 is sunny and cool, very suitable for types of tourism such as mountain climbing, sightseeing and camping at famous places like Tuyen Lam Lake.
To ensure the safety of tourists participating in these activities, Mr. Tran Trung Kien, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Lam Dong province, has requested Tuyen Lam Lake National Tourist Area, Bidoup Nui Ba National Park and other tourist areas and attractions... to absolutely not allow travel companies to spontaneously organize camping and picnic programs along with tourism services that may affect the health and lives of tourists. In addition, strengthen measures to ensure the safety of tourists when visiting; pay attention to lakes, waterfalls, rivers and streams. Only organize adventurous tourism programs and products such as ziplining, mountain climbing, trekking, off-road vehicle riding on mountains... after being inspected and announced to fully meet safety measures.
Travel agencies and tourism service businesses must publicly list prices and sell at the listed prices. "Absolutely do not allow price gouging, soliciting, "ripping off", or fraud in business activities, ensuring service quality commensurate with product prices" - the leader of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism emphasized.
Mr. Kien also requested that units have proactive plans to coordinate with functional agencies and local authorities to protect the safety of tourists, prevent pickpockets and robberies in tourist areas and spots. In addition, localities need to pay attention to directing the People's Committees of wards, communes and towns to prevent the situation of soliciting and competing for customers at cloud hunting spots, check-in photo spots, spontaneous camping spots...
