In special cases when a passenger must be served during the social distancing period, the accommodation provider must consult competent authorities.
Businesses and accommodations that are still running tourism programs or services need to serve visitors properly until the end of their journey or support them to adjust the program, service or exchange tickets on demand.
However, they have to immediately apply measures to ensure pandemic prevention like measuring body temperature, compulsory face mask-wearing, providing antiseptic solution and soap for handwashing, as well as monitoring staff and guests to promptly take the infected to health centers.
“The suspension of Fantastic Da Nang Festival and receiving tourists for the next 14 days ultimately aims to ensure tourists and the community’s safety. Therefore, we look forward to tourists, travel agencies, partners and the community’s sympathy for this unwanted act,” Nguyen Xuan Binh, deputy director of the city’s Department of Tourism said.
