General Office of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on Further Strengthening
Notice of summer safety management in tourist attractions
Departments of Culture and Tourism of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, Culture, Sports, Radio, Film and Television and Tourism Bureau of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps:
Recently, a public opinion incident occurred in Taibai Mountain Scenic Spot in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, and amusement facilities and equipment safety accidents occurred in several scenic spots such as Jiushanding Natural Scenic Spot in Jizhou District, Tianjin, Shanglinshe Ecological Tourism Scenic Spot in Luliang City, Shanxi Province, and Geocentric Valley Scenic Spot in Enshi Prefecture, Hubei Province, which reflected that there were loopholes in safety precautions and inadequate management services in individual scenic spots. National tourist attractions should take a warning, attach great importance to safety in production, and constantly improve the management and service level. In order to do a good job in the summer safety management of tourist attractions, the relevant requirements are hereby notified as follows:
First, strengthen organizational leadership and pay close attention to the implementation of responsibilities. At present, the “three-phase superposition” in summer, flood season and tourist peak period puts great pressure on the safe and orderly opening of tourist attractions. All localities should effectively improve their political positions, fully understand the importance of doing a good job in safety management of summer tourist attractions, and further strengthen their responsibility. It is necessary to strengthen organizational leadership, fully mobilize the resources of all parties, comprehensively carry out supervision and inspection, and compact the main responsibility of tourist attractions. It is necessary to guide tourist attractions to improve the initiative, scientificity and pertinence of safety production, effectively prevent safety and effectively improve the effectiveness of safety management.
Second, carry out traffic monitoring and strengthen the work plan. It is necessary to actively use the data of big data retrieval and online booking platform to analyze the hot spots of tourist attractions, and strengthen the reminder of tourist attractions with large traffic and high security risks in time. Guide the tourist attractions to seriously implement the requirements of “limited, reserved and peak-shifting”, reasonably set the reception ceiling, implement the ticket reservation system, improve the risk prevention and control mechanism, improve the normalized epidemic prevention and control mechanism, formulate the supporting guarantee plan for accurate prevention and control, and comprehensively deal with the peak passenger flow.
Third, strengthen the investigation of hidden dangers and ensure the safety of facilities. It is necessary to actively cooperate with emergency and market supervision departments to increase the investigation of safety hazards such as special equipment and fire-fighting facilities in tourist attractions. Guide and urge tourist attractions to carry out patrol inspections on key parts such as flood risk areas and geological disaster-prone areas to eliminate potential risks. Promote tourist attractions to strengthen the inspection and maintenance of facilities and equipment in accordance with the requirements of the competent authorities, especially to do a good job in the safety management of glass plank roads, indoor ice sculptures and other projects. Be alert to the operational risks caused by idle facilities and equipment and staff turnover in tourist attractions, and strictly check the operation status of facilities and equipment in reopened tourist attractions.
Fourth, strengthen safety tips and do emergency management well. Strengthen safety tips to remind tourists to participate in high-risk projects cautiously, not to enter undeveloped areas and not open to the public to carry out tourism activities without authorization, and to abide by relevant safety management regulations. It is necessary to carry out extensive publicity on tourism safety knowledge in flood season and summer vacation, popularize emergency knowledge about travel safety, and improve the safety awareness of tourist attractions, employees and tourists. It is necessary to guide tourist attractions to improve the emergency work mechanism, refine emergency plans, and strengthen emergency drills to ensure rapid response and proper disposal after emergencies occur.
Five, promote the review task, strengthen dynamic management. In April 2022, the General Office of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued the Notice on Doing a Good Job in the 2022 Annual Review of National A-level Tourist Attractions. Cultural and tourism administrative departments at all levels should complete the annual review as soon as possible, supervise the implementation of safety management in A-level tourist attractions in combination with the review tasks, and strengthen the peak response. It is necessary to give full play to the warning role of dynamic management, and the A-level tourist attractions with poor rectification and inadequate safety management should be dealt with in accordance with relevant regulations and released to the public.
I hereby inform you.
