On May 4, the People's Committee of Nha Trang City directed Vinh Nguyen Ward to inspect and clarify the case of a seafood raft on Tri Nguyen Island being reported to be selling food at high prices.
Through inspection, the authorities determined that this raft was not qualified to do food and beverage business, and required the raft owner to stop receiving guests.
The inspection team worked with Mr. P.V.L - the owner of seafood rafts in the Tri Nguyen island area. Initially, it was determined that this was a seafood raft, not a facility licensed to operate food and beverage services according to the law.
The People's Committee of the ward has asked Mr. L. to immediately stop picking up guests to eat and drink until the necessary procedures and conditions have been completed.
According to Mr. L. and his wife's report, on the afternoon of May 2, the H.H canoe took two tourists from Hanoi to the raft for lunch.
Diners choose dishes such as boxed beef, squid, fried rice... Mr. L. affirmed that he had clearly quoted prices before processing the dish, in which boxed beef is priced at 3.5 million VND/kg, 950,000 VND/kg.
The tourists agreed and had a meal, then paid and left the raft. However, later, one of the two tourists posted an article on social media saying that the price of the dishes on the raft was too high.
Mr. L. said that he had proactively contacted customers, refunded 30% of the total bill and the two sides agreed not to complain further. The social media post has also been removed.
Currently, the authorities are continuing to monitor the incident and require relevant parties to strictly comply with legal regulations in tourism and service business activities at sea.
