Previously, on February 15, Kinh te va Do thi Newspaper published an article “Ha Tinh: Inadequate management of tourism services at Huong Tich Pagoda”. The content reflected the situation of cars traveling on the road reserved for electric vehicles carrying passengers and some boat drivers and tourists on Nha Duong Lake not wearing life jackets as prescribed, posing many potential traffic safety risks.
After the newspaper was published, the Can Loc district government and related agencies and units took action to handle the existing problems and shortcomings. In particular, they focused on promoting propaganda work, ensuring security, order and traffic safety on the route reserved only for electric cars and Nha Duong lake cruises.
“There are currently 8 motorboats operating on Nha Duong Lake, all of which have been inspected for technical safety. Depending on the load, each boat can only carry 20-30 passengers. We focus on ensuring that drivers and all tourists wear life jackets when cruising, and that all boats are equipped with life buoys and fire extinguishers according to regulations,” said a representative of the Traffic Police Team, Can Loc District Police.
At Huong Tich Pagoda Tourist Area (January 8), people and tourists from all over the world flocked to the pagoda to burn incense, visit the landscape, and pray for a peaceful, happy new year and good luck in everything. The number of tourists increased dramatically, and during peak hours, thousands of people had to wait in long lines for the electric car and boat to get to the pagoda.
According to preliminary statistics from the Management Board of Huong Tich Pagoda Tourist Area, the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin welcomed about 30,000 visitors from all over the country to visit and worship. Of which, on January 8 alone, there were about 6,000 people and visitors to the pagoda.
Head of the Huong Tich Pagoda Tourist Area Management Board, Tran Thi Thu Ha, said that after the reflection of the Economic and Urban Newspaper, the unit quickly held a meeting with the security and order team and related parties to rectify and prohibit cars from traveling on the road reserved for electric vehicles carrying passengers; focusing on propaganda and thoroughly educating boat drivers and tourists who do not wear life jackets, absolutely do not allow them to cruise on Nha Duong Lake.
According to Ms. Ha, the reason for the situation of cars traveling on the tramway is mainly because some partners ask to use their own cars, because they are afraid of waiting for the tram and wasting time. In addition, some locals also use cars and motorbikes to visit farms and hills. As for boat drivers and tourists, they do not wear life jackets mainly because of the hot weather and poor awareness, so they do not follow the regulations.
“Before the new spring tourist season, we installed signs prohibiting cars and motorbikes from traveling on the road reserved for electric vehicles; the relevant parties have also held meetings to correct shortcomings in the cruise ship operation. Spring tourists at Huong Tich Pagoda will continue to increase, so the unit will continue to implement synchronous and effective tourism services, creating attractive destinations, leaving feelings and impressions on everyone,” Ms. Tran Thi Thu Ha informed.
On the occasion of the New Year this year, the weather was favorable, the number of pilgrims to Huong Tich Pagoda increased many times compared to previous years. Electric car and cruise services sometimes faced overload, even arising problems, but related units still made efforts to overcome difficulties, meeting the needs of tourists from all over the country to travel in the Spring, make pilgrimages to the Buddha's land.
