What does Cua Lo do to prevent the situation of "overcharging" on parking fees on the opening night of this year's festival?
(Baonghean.vn) - To prevent price gouging and chaos at parking lots on the opening night of Cua Lo Tourism 2024, the town government has introduced a series of solutions to minimize the above situation.
Tomorrow night (April 18), at Binh Minh Square, Cua Lo town, the Cua Lo Tourism Opening Ceremony 2024 will take place. The program promises to bring many new and attractive points. It is expected that the opening night of this year's beach tourism season will have a sudden increase in the number of visitors compared to previous years due to coinciding with the Hung Kings' Commemoration Day (March 10th of the Lunar calendar).
In order to prevent the situation of "overcharging" at parking lots on the opening night of the Cua Lo Tourism Festival as happened in 2023, Cua Lo town has decided to assign Nghi Huong ward to directly manage and inspect parking lots.
Mr. Hoang Nang Hiep - Head of the Urban Management Department of Cua Lo town said: "This year, we assigned Nghi Huong ward to deploy and manage temporary parking lots on the opening night of Cua Lo Tourism. In order to avoid chaos at temporary parking lots, the town will not mobilize Nghi Huong ward's human resources to serve the festival, but require all of this force to focus on checking and controlling parking lots."
Accordingly, Nghi Huong Ward People's Committee has deployed the construction of 39 temporary parking lots. These parking lots have been handed over to organizations and individuals for implementation.
In order for these parking lots to operate seriously, without causing frustration for residents and tourists when coming to Cua Lo on the opening night, Nghi Huong Ward has proposed many solutions such as: Making price posting signs, issuing tickets with red stamps of the Ward People's Committee. In which, the parking fee for motorbikes is 15,000 VND/time, for cars is 40,000 VND/time.
Nghi Huong Ward has also established two teams, including a propaganda team and a monitoring team, to monitor any problems reported by residents and tourists.
In addition, organizations and individuals who want to open a parking lot must register with the local authorities before the opening day of the tourist season. If any organization or individual opens a parking lot without permission, the ward's inspection and control team will draw up a record to handle the matter.
Mr. Vo Ngoc Vinh - Vice Chairman of Nghi Huong Ward People's Committee emphasized: In addition to the solutions that have been implemented by the locality, the ward has also stepped up propaganda work to prevent the situation of "ripping off" ticket prices as announced on the ward's radio system, through social networking platforms. In addition, the locality also requested agencies and people to share information about the prices of temporary parking lots on websites so that tourists know and report to the authorities when they are "ripped off".
With careful preparation from the town government and the consensus of the majority of coastal residents, we hope that visitors will be satisfied when they return to the Opening Night of Cua Lo Tourism in 2024.
