According to reporters' records, in the first two days of the April 30th and May 1st holidays, the number of passengers present at Rach Gia wharf to go to Phu Quoc and the islands of An Giang was very large. The number of tourists flocking in was large but they were very conscious of queuing to get off the boat and there were security forces guiding and supporting them. This year's holiday lasts 4 days, creating favorable conditions for people to choose long-distance tours and overnight stays on islands in the province.
To serve the sudden increase in tourists during the holidays, shipping lines have increased trips, and on-duty staff have coordinated with officers and soldiers of Rach Gia Border Guard Station to guide passengers to complete procedures, ensuring safe and orderly movement.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Ngoc, a tourist from Ho Chi Minh City, said: "I have been here twice, last time I went to Nam Du, this time I went to Hon Son. I saw it on the internet and found it too beautiful, so I chose this spot. I saw that during the holiday, everyone went to the pier very crowded and bustling.
Mr. Nguyen Quang Thach, a tourist from Can Tho City, shared: "Now I take my family to travel to Hon Son, the whole family is very excited to enjoy the beautiful scenery, eat delicious watered seafood and swim in the sea. After hard working days, I also want to have moments of relaxation for the whole family during the holidays.
According to preliminary statistics, in the first 2 days of the holiday, the number of passengers departing from Rach Gia Port to the islands increased nearly 3 times compared to normal days. To meet the increasing demand, passenger transport units have proactively implemented many solutions to ensure safety and service quality.
Mr. Vu Xuan Thuy - Captain of Superdong VII high-speed train said: "We have a plan to strengthen the inspection, maintenance and repair of machinery, lifeguards, firefighters, and the best technical means for the train to operate continuously. In addition, we propagate to passengers the regulations when traveling by train to ensure safety for the journey.
According to the An Giang Provincial Department of Tourism, tourism business establishments have been required to strictly implement regulations, ensure service quality, publicly list prices, and prevent price increases and customer soliciting. Inspection and supervision, ensuring security and order, traffic safety, fire prevention and fighting, and rescue and relief are also deployed synchronously. In addition, functional sectors strengthen propaganda and promotion of destinations, raise awareness of civilized behavior in tourism, and at the same time warn of fraudulent acts, especially in cyberspace.
With proactive management and careful preparation from units, An Giang tourism wishes to bring tourists a safe, civilized holiday and many memorable experiences.
