(BGDT) - In response to the people's need for sightseeing, entertainment, and recreation, recently, a number of spontaneous tourist spots have been formed in Bac Giang province. Local authorities and functional agencies have actively stepped in to inspect, rectify, and handle violations.
Attracting thousands of tourists
Last July, the Chairman of the Luc Nam District People's Committee directed the interdisciplinary inspection team, the People's Committee of Luc Son Commune and the People's Committee of Vo Tranh Commune to inspect 3 tourism and resort service businesses in the area. These are the Coi Nguon tourist site, the Homestay Nha Ben Suoi in Luc Son Commune and the Trang Valley tourist site in Vo Tranh Commune (Trang Valley is currently under construction and has not yet opened for tourism business).
Through inspection, it was determined that all 3 accommodation and resort service establishments are family-sized; have business registration certificates for accommodation and resort services at home, and are used to accommodate about 30 guests/night. The households invested in building many construction items to serve guests such as: dining room, toilet, community house, swimming pool, iron frame hut... The violations of these establishments are the construction of many construction items on perennial crop land in the same plot of land with houses, outside the residential land limit with a large area.

Mr. Duong Cong Dinh, Vice Chairman of Luc Nam District People's Committee said: "The District People's Committee has directed relevant agencies and commune People's Committees to identify violations in tourism, resort business activities and other related fields for the above 3 establishments and handle violations according to regulations. It is known that during the April 30 holiday this year, the Coi Nguon tourist site and the Homestay Nha Ben Suoi welcomed thousands of visitors, and at times had to close the gate to limit visitors due to overload."
Also during the recent April 30 holiday, thousands of people came here to camp in Dong Cao Plateau (Son Dong). The trash thrown away by tourists has ruined the natural beauty of this place. Plastic bags, plastic bottles, white tissues on the hill, and leftover food that has been thrown away have a rancid smell, making many people feel bored and unhappy.
Da Ong Lake in Tien Thang Commune (Yen The) when the water recedes, the green grass creates a beautiful scene that attracts thousands of people to explore. There are times when thousands of people from inside and outside the province come here every day to take photos and camp, hundreds of cars and motorbikes are parked tightly on the grass. Many people bring chickens and ducks to grill, sing with speakers from morning to night; even spread raincoats and mats lying all over the grass. According to local people, there have been fights due to fighting over seats and camping spots. The People's Committee of the commune arranged 8 trash cans, but the number of visitors was too large, many people lacked awareness and littered, greatly affecting the environment. "We had to mobilize the youth union and women's union members to clean up the trash for nearly a week, and at the same time direct the functional forces to disperse the crowds gathering in this area," said Mr. Le Duc Hai, Chairman of the People's Committee of Tien Thang Commune.
Strengthen inspection and handling of violations
Faced with the sharp increase in the demand for sightseeing and relaxation of tourists, especially during holidays and weekends, in the past time, in the province there have been a number of organizations and individuals doing business spontaneously, not complying with the regulations on tourism service business. At these locations, there are often services such as food and beverage, parking, sightseeing tours or boat rentals... Bac Giang province has the potential to develop tourism, especially community tourism (CTT), but currently there are very few businesses investing in this field. The formation of tourist destinations is to meet the needs of people in and outside the province.

The province's policy is to pay attention to and promote the development of community-based tourism to preserve and promote the value of national cultural identity, create jobs for local workers, and promote socio-economic development, especially in ethnic minority areas. However, all activities related to tourism must be strictly managed and ensured in accordance with the provisions of the law. If not well managed, it is very likely that spontaneous tourist destinations will "bloom", leading to many consequences, such as: Water pollution of lakes and streams; waste; risk of forest fires due to tourists grilling food; risk of drowning in lakes, streams, and swimming pools; loss of security and order, food safety and hygiene; violations of land laws.
To strictly manage and overcome this situation, local authorities (communes, wards, towns), functional agencies and People's Committees of districts and cities need to strengthen inspection, supervision, promptly prevent and strictly handle violations. Mr. Do Tuan Khoa, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism said: "The Department has issued a document requesting the Chairmen of the People's Committees of districts and cities to direct specialized departments, units, communes, wards and towns to strengthen their grasp of business activities at spontaneous tourist destinations. Step up propaganda so that tourists and people know the risks of insecurity for people and property at spontaneous tourist destinations; review and put up prohibition signs and danger signs. Handle violations of spontaneous tourism activities according to authority. Resolutely do not allow organizations and individuals to exploit and do business in tourism services, especially types of entertainment and recreation on water, rivers, lakes, and adventure games without written consent from competent authorities".
It is known that recently, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Son Dong district directed the communes and towns: Van Son, Phuc Son, An Lac, Long Son, Tay Yen Tu to coordinate with the district's Department of Culture and Information to develop a plan to manage and exploit tourist destinations: Khe Ro, Dong Cao, Khe Chao and other destinations with potential for tourism development, and report to the District People's Committee for comments and direction for implementation.
