Why not swim too far in Qingdao beach?
Eight people in Yangkoutan were in danger of drowning, resulting in 1 drowning and 1 missing. In just five days, four people drowned in the sea area, and 1 person was missing, which attracted the attention of relevant government departments. The leaders of Laoshan District Committee of Qingdao, Shandong Province held an emergency meeting in Yangkou Beach, and decided to close Yangkou Beach before finding more effective protection measures to prevent the drowning tragedy from happening again.
On the second day after the tragedy, the Municipal Tourism Bureau issued a notice on August 14, asking all tourism enterprises to do a good job in the current tourism safety management, effectively prevent all kinds of tourism safety accidents, and make every effort to create a good image of our city as a "healthy and safe tourism destination".
The notice requires that when leasing vehicles, travel agencies must choose a reputable fleet, vehicles with qualified technical performance and drivers with strong sense of responsibility and excellent skills, and sign relevant contracts to clarify the accident accountability system and compensation methods. We should conscientiously implement the provisions of travel agency liability insurance, ensure that the insurance coverage rate reaches 100%, and effectively protect the personal and property safety of tourists. Strengthen the safety training for tour guides and other personnel to ensure that tourists and vehicle drivers pay attention to safety in time during the organization of sightseeing and earnestly shoulder the responsibility for safety work.
It is forbidden to organize tourism teams to swim in the bathing beach. The notice stressed that all tourist attractions (spots) should strictly implement the relevant regulations, control the carrying capacity of tourists in scenic spots, and all kinds of safety warning signs should be standardized and complete to ensure that fire prevention, theft prevention, emergency rescue and other facilities and equipment are standardized and effective. Strengthen and overhaul the amusement facilities and equipment such as aerial ropeway to ensure normal use, ensure reception safety and prevent all kinds of accidents.
The notice also requires travel agencies to pay close attention to the current weather forecast and the national flood report, prohibit organizing teams to go to areas where floods have occurred, arrange land tourist routes to avoid flood-stricken areas, and carefully organize teams to go to flood-prone areas. For the formed team, it is necessary to master the local weather, traffic, floods and other conditions in advance; If the travel plan needs to be postponed due to the flood, it is necessary to do a good job in persuading tourists to avoid disputes and complaints.
Tour guides should handle emergencies flexibly according to local weather conditions to ensure the safety of tourists' trips. In particular, it is necessary to inform tourists in advance of the emergency treatment methods in case of sudden natural disasters, and make it clear in the contract to reduce unnecessary losses and disputes between the two sides.
I hope my answer can help you.
