Ha Long proposes to continue dining service in Ha Long Bay’s caves
Chairman of Ha Long City People’s Committee Pham Hong Ha proposed on September 8 the People’s Committee of Quang Ninh province to continue dining services in caves in Ha Long Bay through October 30.
Dining services will no longer be permitted in caves in Ha Long Bay, the UNESCO-recognised heritage site in the northern Quang Ninh province, Chairman of Ha Long City People’s Committee Pham Hong Ha said.
Accordingly, travel agents and dining service providers must end such service before October 30.
The People’s Committee of Quang Ninh province has instructed Ha Long City to coordinate with departments, sectors and relevant localities to review plans and projects relating to Ha Long Bay as well as bay management regulations.
The locality has asked Ha Long City to propose tourism products on the bay while ensuring public order, environmental protection, and abiding to the UNESCO’s Convention on protecting cultural and natural heritage and Vietnam’s laws.
The decision is expected to preserve the natural heritage site while minimizing activities that could harm the bay’s landscape and environment.
Dining and art performing services in Trong Cave have been licensed since 2005. However similar services offered recently in other caves such as Dong Tien, Tien Ong, Co, Trinh Nu, caused negative impacts on the world-recognized site.
Chairman Pham Hong Ha also unveiled the city’s plan to end dining service on tourist vessels in order to protect the world heritage site.
