On the afternoon of November 30, Mr. Le Van Ninh, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ly Son island district (Quang Ngai), said that the island district government is seeking opinions on a project to collect fees for visiting scenic spots, historical and cultural relics... in the area in 2024.

According to Mr. Ninh, in 2019, the People's Council of Quang Ngai province issued Resolution No. 13/2019/NQ-HDND regulating the collection rates, collection, payment, management and use of fees for visiting scenic spots, historical sites, cultural works, and museums on Ly Son island.
However, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ly Son island government has not been able to implement the project to collect entrance fees. Up to now, Ly Son island district has organized a process to collect opinions on this project to submit to Quang Ngai province for consideration and approval of a new resolution.
The entrance fee is a source of revenue for the locality to carry out the restoration, embellishment, conservation, promotion of the value of relics, and environmental protection work on the island.
Mr. Le Van Ninh, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ly Son island district, chaired a meeting to collect opinions on the project to collect fees for visiting and traveling to this island.
The draft of the proposed project, the entrance fee to scenic spots, historical relics, cultural works, and museums on Ly Son Island is expected to be 80,000 VND/person/trip on the Big Island; 20,000 VND/person/trip on the Small Island.
Visitors to individual locations can buy tickets for each cluster, including scenic clusters such as Hang Cau, flagpole, Thoi Loi mountain; Hang pagoda; To Vo stone gate, Gieng Tien volcano with entrance tickets of 20,000 VND/cluster.
The Hoang Sa Fleet's exhibition house, which manages Bac Hai, and the Lang Tan whale skeleton exhibition house have entrance fees of 10,000 VND/visit.

This week, Ly Son district will complete the draft project, submission, and resolution to collect public opinions and appraise relevant departments and branches so that the Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee can submit it to the Provincial People's Council for consideration and approval of the resolution.
Mr. Le Van Ninh said that the project is in the consultation stage and has not been submitted to the Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee, so it is not known when it will be implemented, but the expected time is in the first quarter of 2024. Accordingly, Ly Son is expected to collect about 8 billion VND from entrance fees each year. In 2023, Ly Son island district will welcome 170,000 tourists.
