HA NOI — Ninh Binh’s tourism authority on January 13 announced a list of 20 illegal homestays which violated the boundary regulations of the Trang An Landscape Complex.
Tourists have been asked not to use these homestay services.
On June 11, the province’s People’s Committee publicised a comprehensive report regarding illegal construction on Cai Ha Mountain, located in Hoa Lu District.
The report found that many families had built facilities and offered homestay services within the heritage site without permission. The acts violated Decision No 230/QD-TTG issued in February on plans for the Trang An Landscape Complex.
In order to secure the safety and rights of tourists, the tourism authority asked tourists not to stay at the 20 homestays in Hoa Lu and Gia Vien districts.
Statistics from Ninh Binh’s People’s Committee shows that there are now 215 unauthorised homsetays in the province offering over 1,200 rooms.
At the end of November, 2018, the committee directed agencies to enhance management and deal with cases that violated regulations.
The Trang An Landscape Complex was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in June, 2014.
The complex - a mix of cultural relics and natural landscapes - covers more than 6,000ha. Among the most visited sites in the area is the Hoa Lu Ancient Imperial Capital – chosen by various kings between 968-1009.
Other popular sites are the Trang An, Tam Coc and Bich Dong rivers, the karst mountains, and the Hoa Lu Primitive Forest which stretches over the districts of Hoa Lu, Gia Vien, Nho Quan, as well as Tam Hiep Town and Ninh Binh City. — VNS
