Da Nang cracks down on soliciting customers and littering at tourist sites

Authorities in Da Nang are taking action to curb problematic practices at tourist destinations, responding to complaints from residents and visitors. The focus is on issues such as aggressive street vending, littering, and unauthorized camping.

The Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism has directed relevant bodies to manage these problems, especially around Son Tra Peninsula and My Khe Beach. Reports of vendors soliciting customers, improper waste disposal, and illegal tent setups have prompted increased patrols and enforcement.

During the recent April 30 and May 1 holidays, authorities dismantled unauthorized structures used for informal sales in areas like Bai Rang and Bai Da on Son Tra Peninsula. Some vendors were warned for failing to display prices and for creating unsightly conditions with their food stalls.

Regarding littering and sharp objects found on My Khe Beach, the department has mandated enhanced environmental cleanliness checks. The management board for Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang Tourist Beaches is tasked with intensifying public awareness campaigns through various channels, including loudspeakers, signage, and social media, to ensure compliance during the peak tourist season. Businesses operating on the beach are required to sign commitments to maintain environmental hygiene, provide trash bins, and collect waste within their service areas.
