Nghe An launches movement to socialize toilets for tourists
(Baonghean.vn) - Public toilets are “secondary but main” facilities, contributing significantly to tourists’ evaluation of the quality of destinations and tourism services. However, according to the assessment, the whole province currently has only 79 standard toilets serving tourists.
Nghe An Department of Tourism received the Emulation Flag from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism
(Baonghean.vn) - At the conference summarizing tourism activities in 2018 and deploying tasks for 2019 taking place on the afternoon of January 11, the Department of Tourism was honored to receive the Emulation Flag of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for its outstanding achievements in building and organizing local tourism activities in 2018.
According to assessments, some tourist attractions with a large number of visitors such as Kim Lien Relic Site, Truong Bon Historical Relic Site, Dai Tue Pagoda, Muong Thanh Dien Lam Eco-tourism Area, etc. have quite spacious toilets. Most planning and investment projects for construction, preservation and restoration of historical relics have included the construction of public toilets. Many service establishments, shopping malls, and gas stations on national and provincial highways have paid more attention to building public toilets.
However, in general, the situation of public toilets at tourist attractions, tourist facilities and service establishments has not met the increasing service needs of tourists. Many toilets are too small, of low quality, and some are even makeshift, affecting the general environment as well as the image of Nghe An tourism.
To date, the province has 199 toilets serving tourists at relics, scenic spots, and tourist attractions; of which only 79 toilets meet standards to serve tourists.
