The businesses have committed to immediately correcting the violations and strictly complying with the regulations. The Ward People's Committee requires that jet skis are not allowed to operate in the beach area, must be fully equipped with rescue equipment, have their service prices publicly and transparently posted, and operate within the licensed hours and scope. At the same time, the Ward Police were assigned to coordinate with relevant forces to increase patrols and strictly handle cases of intentional violations.

Speaking to reporters, Mr. Cao Minh Tu - Chairman of the People's Committee of Cua Lo Ward said that after drastic measures, up to now, all jet skis in the area have basically operated in accordance with regulations and have been strictly required to be brought to the wharf. Restoring this operational order is urgent to ensure the safety of tourists and the sustainable development of Cua Lo tourism.
