The provincial authorities of Quang Ninh have just issued a document denying permission for tourist boats to participate in the Ha Long Carnival 2024 parade and host sightseeing guests.
On April 25, according to the Quang Ninh Department of Transportation, they have issued a document denying permission for tourist boats to be mobilized to participate in the Ha Long Carnival 2024 parade and host sightseeing guests.
Carnaval Ha Long 2024 is about to take place
Specifically, to serve the Ha Long Carnival 2024 program, the local authorities had called for 200 tourist boats to participate. However, taking advantage of this, many boat operators have independently sold unauthorized tour packages, causing market instability.
Also according to the Quang Ninh Department of Transportation, if the 200 tourist boats were permitted, there would be a large number of passengers on board. However, the operating area and docking sites for the boats are natural water areas, the event takes place at night, and the weather conditions are extreme, with many unpredictable changes.
In particular, with the event running from around 18:00 to 24:00, tourists on board the boats would typically organize meals, consume alcohol, and go to the upper deck to watch fireworks. Therefore, ensuring the safety of passengers on tourist boats is a top priority.
Based on this, the Quang Ninh Department of Transportation suggests that the People’s Committee of Ha Long City should not consider allowing tourist boats to participate in the Ha Long Carnival 2024 parade and host sightseeing guests.
Furthermore, Ha Long City also needs to tightly manage the transportation of people from the shore to the mobilized vehicles, as well as the boats anchored at sea for viewing the Ha Long Carnival 2024 program.
It is worth noting that on April 25, there was a thunderstorm phenomenon in Ha Long City that damaged many areas in the Bai Chay Sea. However, the location of the Ha Long Carnival event was not affected. The actors and service staff are operating normally for this significant tourism event in Quang Ninh province.
