Cua Lo Ward regulates jet ski activities
The leader of the People's Committee of Cua Lo Ward, Nghe An Province, said that the locality has handled the situation of jet skis operating spontaneously, causing unsafe conditions for tourists at the beach.
Recently, many residents and tourists have expressed their frustration about jet skis frequently speeding and approaching the beach area to solicit customers, potentially causing accidents for swimmers.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan - a tourist from Hanoi shared: I was bathing with my child when suddenly a jet ski rushed past just a few meters away. It felt very dangerous, just a slight deviation in the steering wheel could cause an accident.
At the first meeting in 2025, the leaders of Cua Lo Ward People's Committee directed the implementation of many measures to rectify tourism business activities, focusing on thoroughly handling the situation of spontaneous jet skis causing unsafety for tourists on the beach.
The ward organized a meeting with the authorities and jet ski businesses. At the meeting, local authorities pointed out violations such as vehicles entering the swimming area, lack of life jackets and rescue equipment, no safety warning signs, causing disorder and making tourists worried.
The businesses have committed to immediately correcting the violations and strictly complying with the regulations. The Ward People's Committee requires that jet skis are not allowed to operate in the beach area, must be fully equipped with rescue equipment, have their service prices publicly and transparently posted, and operate within the licensed hours and scope. At the same time, the Ward Police were assigned to coordinate with relevant forces to increase patrols and strictly handle cases of intentional violations.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Cao Minh Tu - Chairman of the People's Committee of Cua Lo Ward said that after drastic measures, up to now, all jet skis in the area have basically operated in accordance with regulations and have been strictly required to be brought to the wharf. Restoring this operational order is urgent to ensure the safety of tourists and the sustainable development of Cua Lo tourism.
Over the years, Cua Lo ward has made constant efforts to build the image of a civilized, friendly and safe destination to meet the long-term development requirements of the local tourism industry.
