Informing Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Vu Kien Cuong - Deputy Head of the Ha Long Bay - Yen Tu World Heritage Management Board - said that up to this point, 90% of tourist destinations in the core area of Ha Long Bay have been covered; some locations far away, with fewer visitors, and more complex terrain will be studied for coverage in the near future.
Also according to Mr. Cuong, the Ha Long Bay - Yen Tu World Heritage Management Board is continuing to coordinate with relevant units to study piloting the installation of a Wi-Fi system right in the cave to both serve tourists and serve management, rescue and relief work.
When there is Wi-Fi signal in the cave, visitors can post photos and video clips directly on social networks right in the cave. This also helps promote the image of Ha Long Bay tourism. Initially, it is expected to install a Wi-Fi system in Thien Cung - Dau Go, then it will be proposed to expand to some other caves.
Lao Dong Newspaper has had many articles reflecting the situation of "bottom" phone signals in Ha Long Bay, causing difficulties for management, rescue and relief work as well as the need to connect and share information and images of tourists when visiting Ha Long Bay.
The main reason is due to too many procedures related to world heritage.
The lack of phone signal makes tourists going to the middle of the bay seem to be "missing" all day, even for a few days because they cannot contact the shore; functional agencies also encounter difficulties when handling incidents, especially rescue and relief work as well as management work...
Regarding tourism, the fact that there is almost no phone signal in the bay has caused Ha Long Bay to lose the opportunity to be effectively and widely promoted free of charge by tourists globally.
