Bac Ninh: Directing the overcoming of damage caused by storms and rains at tourist areas and spots

The floods collapsed stilt houses, tents, and miniature landscapes; broke bamboo forests and a series of ornamental trees and flower gardens; many pets such as ostriches and sheep were swept away; and electricity, water, and equipment were damaged.

The representative of the tourist site said: The entire infrastructure of the tourist site, many of which were recently upgraded on September 2, was washed away or damaged, with total damage estimated at more than 10 billion VND. After the water recedes, the unit will clean up, cut down fallen branches, and rebuild the infrastructure. However, it will take years to restore the landscape to its former state.

The bamboo forest that was formed several decades ago has collapsed.

Through understanding, in other localities in the province, although there was flooding, tourist areas were basically not affected. According to information from the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, before storm No. 11, the Department issued a document directing its affiliated units to coordinate with local authorities to proactively deploy measures to prevent and combat floods and storms. In particular, it requested to temporarily stop receiving visitors at tourist areas and spots at risk of being affected; fully prepare human resources, materials and means to promptly respond to unexpected situations. Up to this point, there have been no casualties in the province's tourist areas and spots; except for Ven village, other tourist areas and spots in the area are still basically safe, and facilities are not affected.

The leaders of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism said that they have directed specialized departments and grassroots units to continue to grasp the situation, proactively coordinate with local authorities in flood and storm prevention; collect statistics and make preliminary damage assessments to propose timely support and recovery plans for the industry and locality. At the same time, after the storm, there is a potential risk of landslides and flooding, so tourist areas and spots absolutely do not organize to welcome guests; when the water recedes, it is necessary to organize a general environmental cleaning, ensuring safety before reopening.
