Ministry of Culture and Tourism: Strengthen the investigation of safety hazards in facilities such as cable cars and tourist boats in scenic spots.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued a notice on the evening of May 4, requiring all regions to further strengthen the work of cultural and tourism safety production. The notice requires all regions to strengthen the inspection and rectification of safety hazards in tourist attractions such as cable cars, amusement facilities, special motor vehicles, tour boats, and other facilities and equipment. Travel agencies are strictly required to fully implement various management regulations, such as chartering services. It is also necessary to strengthen fire safety management in crowded places, focus on inspecting illegal use of electricity, closed safety exits, and urge tourist attractions to enhance fire safety reminders, and strictly control outdoor fires. Measures should also be taken to prevent and respond to extreme weather, closely monitor weather conditions, timely release warning information, prepare emergency plans and response for emergencies, and when necessary, decisively suspend the operation of facilities and equipment, or close tourist attractions. It is important to strengthen duty and monitoring, ensure smooth information flow, enhance safety reminders in key areas and places, remind tourists to be cautious in participating in high-risk activities, and avoid visiting undeveloped or unsafe areas.
