Verify information about service prices in Lung Cu are many times higher than other places

Immediately after tourists reported that service prices in Lo Lo Chai village (Lung Cu commune) were many times higher than in other places and that product quality in Dong Van commune (formerly Ha Giang province, now Tuyen Quang province) was not guaranteed, local authorities promptly established a working group to inspect and verify.

Mr. Ma Doan Khanh, Vice Chairman of Lung Cu Commune People's Committee, affirmed that there is no situation of service prices being 2-3 times higher as reported. Households basically comply with regulations on prices and food hygiene and safety.

According to Mr. Khanh, after the inspection, the commune will continue to promote propaganda to raise people's awareness of civilized business, maintain the reputation of community tourism ; and require households to commit to strictly complying with legal regulations.

In Dong Van commune, where there were also complaints about the quality of specialties, Mr. Pham Duc Nam, Chairman of the Commune People's Committee, stated that through actual inspection, there was no such incident as reported. In the coming time, the commune will put into use an area to display and sell local specialties with clearly listed prices, so that visitors can rest assured in choosing quality products with transparent origins.

According to Mr. Nam, to strengthen management, Dong Van commune has established an interdisciplinary team to conduct regular inspections and assigned the Market Management force to coordinate supervision. The commune has signed contracts with many households and restaurants to supply local products that meet standards and comply with legal regulations, thereby ensuring the interests of tourists as well as the reputation of the destination.

Previously, on September 16, on the social network "Hong bien Tuyen Quang " appeared a post by a tourist stating that the service price at Lo Lo Chai was too high, "3 times more expensive than the actual price" along with a reflection on buying poor quality smoked pork in Dong Van commune (shared from the Ha Giang Tourism group).

This information quickly attracted many mixed opinions, affecting the image of local tourism.

On September 16, Lung Cu Commune People's Committee established a working group of 7 members.

Mr. Ma Doan Khanh, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of the commune, directly led the delegation to inspect all business establishments in the village.

Preliminary results show that the village has 51 homestays, 2 restaurants, 5 snack and souvenir shops. 100% of the establishments have listed prices. Homestay room prices range from 500,000-1.2 million VND/fully furnished private room; dormitory rooms range from 100,000-200,000 VND/person.

Food businesses have licenses, commit to food safety, and goods are properly preserved.

Some businesses selling specialty products of unknown origin are reminded and encouraged to sell products of clear origin.

False information on social networks has significantly affected the image of Lo Lo Chai in particular and tourism in Tuyen Quang province in general.

The authorities of Lung Cu and Dong Van communes have taken drastic measures, conducted transparent inspections and implemented regular management solutions, contributing to clarifying public information, strengthening tourists' confidence and protecting the tourism image of the northernmost region of the country./.
