Charge 80,000 VND/time to enter Hon Kho tourist site

(Dan Tri) - For a long time, Hon Kho has been a famous destination in Binh Dinh (now Gia Lai province). However, recently, public opinion was stirred up when the management unit announced a fee of 80,000 VND/time to enter this tourist destination.

On August 5, the leader of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Gia Lai province said that the unit had assigned a specialized department to check information on ticket collection at Hon Kho tourist site (in Quy Nhon Dong ward, Gia Lai province) to adjust the price accordingly.

Previously, Facebook shared information that Tocepo Trading and Service Company Limited officially applied a fee to enter Hon Kho tourist site in Tuy Phuoc Dong commune, Gia Lai province.

According to the announcement, from August 4, this unit officially applies a fee of 80,000 VND/trip. This fee includes VAT and accompanying services such as tourist insurance; reception services, support guides and destination information; use of beach umbrellas; cleaning services and fresh water showers;...

According to this announcement, children under 0.75m tall and accompanied by parents are free of charge.

The information shared on social networks attracted thousands of shares and comments. Most of the comments said that the above fee was too high compared to the current investment level at Hon Kho tourist destination.

Some people think that it should be free as before, tourists coming to Hon Kho, and people doing business and trading will pay taxes to the government. However, with the current ticket price, no one wants to go to Hon Kho anymore.

According to a floating raft owner who provides services for swimming, diving and dining in the Hon Kho beach area, the ticket price of 80,000 VND/trip to Hon Kho tourist site is too high and not suitable. Because the infrastructure is not special, there is only a place to shelter from the sun and rain, a fresh water shower area, a toilet...

“Of course, when businesses invest money, they have to collect tickets, but the above price is too high. The ticket price of 40,000 VND/trip is appropriate, if it is higher, tourists will switch to Ky Co - Eo Gio. This not only directly affects the investors, but also has a general impact on the tourism service business activities of local people,” this person said.

Hon Kho in Quy Nhon Dong ward (formerly Nhon Hai commune, Quy Nhon city, old Binh Dinh province) is a tourist destination that brings new experiences to visitors.

Coming to Hon Kho, visitors not only have a special experience with the road like a beautiful wall in the middle of the sea, diving to see colorful corals but also enjoy fresh seafood caught by the fishermen of the day, especially the specialty dish of Nhon Hai squid pancakes.
