There is no situation of being forced to charge fees when experiencing the music space in Bai Truoc.
On August 31, the Vung Tau Ward Public Service Supply Center (HCMC) said that it is conducting a review and verification to handle inaccurate information posted on a social networking site, about the situation of forcing people to buy tickets for 30,000 VND when experiencing music space in the Bai Truoc area.
Previously, information was posted by an anonymous account on the social network Hong Vung Tau about the situation of being charged a fee of 30,000 VND when sitting on the stands enjoying music being served for free at Bai Truoc. This content has caused many debates on social networks.
Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper, a representative of Tam Hoang Thien Co., Ltd. - the operating unit - said that it had previously been handed over the site by the local government, allowing the trial operation of the music space to serve people and tourists for free.
In the middle of the stand, we arranged some folding chairs to serve specifically for tourists in need. In which, the unit will sell a voucher including chairs and a portion of self-service drinks for 90,000 VND on the holiday. As for guests sitting in other positions that do not use chairs, or in the surrounding park area, there is no fee, and it is not mandatory to buy soft drinks," said the operating unit representative.
According to the unit, in the process of serving music, singers occasionally mobilize people and tourists to buy soft drinks to support the program, but there is no situation of forcing buying and selling, forcing music fee collection.
Verification will be carried out to handle false information
When the information was posted on social networks on the evening of August 30, functional units of Vung Tau ward quickly grasped it, and at the same time conducted actual inspections, but did not record the situation as reported on social networks.
We immediately conducted a physical inspection, but there is no situation as reported online. The collection of fees for using folding chairs and soft drinks is in the operating plan to have funds to maintain operations. People and tourists may not use the service and experience it for free," said Mr. Le Anh Quynh - Director of the Vung Tau Ward Public Service Supply Center.
Representatives of the Vung Tau Ward Culture Department also said that they had grasped the information and conducted inspections, but did not record the situation as reported on social networks.
According to the Vung Tau Ward Public Service Supply Center, since operation, the unit has organized monitoring and strict supervision of the implementation process. Inaccurate information posted on social networks creates negative public opinion, affecting the tourism image of the locality.
We will request functional agencies to conduct verification and clarification of the case. Thereby handling individuals and collectives involved, avoiding spreading false rumors that affect the image of a friendly and safe destination that people and local authorities have joined hands to build," said a representative of the Vung Tau Ward Public Service Supply Center.
