The town has also issued regulations prohibiting the parking of four-wheeled electric vehicles and vehicles with 24 seats or more on certain streets to ensure the safety of tourists.
The town also encourages businesses and households to invest in upgrading facilities and equipment to serve tourists.
Currently, the town has 288 hotels and guesthouses with over 8,500 rooms, enough to accommodate approximately 19,000 visitors per day. Among these, 30 hotels meet 1 to 4-star standards; notably, some 4-star hotels include: Muong Thanh - Cua Lo; Saigon - Kim Lien; Summer...

In addition, more than 600 qualified restaurants have been renovated and upgraded. Investments have also been made in installing more public restrooms and trash cans at tourist sites, creating convenience for visitors...
| Mr. Phan Cong Doi, Head of the Urban Management Department, stated: "At this point, urban beautification work has been basically completed. With the efforts of the town and the responsible support of organizations and individuals throughout the town, we are creating a new, civilized, polite, and safe tourist environment for the 2016 tourist season." |
With the ultimate goal of "putting tourists at the center," as the tourist season begins this year, the town is taking steps to streamline business operations at the kiosks. Accordingly, instead of signing contracts for 5 or 10 years, starting from this tourist season, Cua Lo will organize the signing of business contracts for kiosks along the coastline on a year-by-year basis.
| According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Dung, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Cua Lo town, this policy will bring many positive results to tourism business activities in Cua Lo; on the one hand, it creates conditions for new businesses to participate in tourism activities, creating new features and methods to better serve tourists; on the other hand, it increases measures and sanctions against businesses that do not strictly comply with the town's regulations on tourism business, resulting in contract termination after one year. |
Besides the positive aspects of this policy, according to Ms. Dung, the town has also implemented solutions to disseminate and train business owners on the town's regulations and policies, especially the "5 no's" rule. This is coupled with solutions for strict monitoring and control of prices and service quality.
Currently, the town has established an inspection team, and each ward has established an urban security team to conduct inspections and checks of restaurants and hotels regarding prices and service quality. Simultaneously, penalties have been imposed: establishments that violate regulations for the first time will be fined 2 million VND; those that violate the regulations for the second time will have their electricity cut off for 3 days; and those that violate the regulations for the third time will have their contracts terminated.
