According to the Municipal Tourism Bureau, the routes organized by travel agencies must have absolute safety guarantee, and the safety should be correctly and fully evaluated.
A person in charge of the Taihu Search and Rescue Center said yesterday that the Shanghai University Student Tour Group was organized by Shanghai Scarecrow Travel Agency.
Scarecrow Travel Agency obtained industrial and commercial registration in 2009 and obtained a travel permit. Located in Handan Road, Hongkou District, the business scope is domestic tourism. However, the company's website shows that its predecessor was the Scarecrow Outdoor Sports Association of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and many team leaders are also part-time college students.
Yesterday afternoon, the Morning Post reporter called the Scarecrow Travel Agency, but no one answered. According to its website, the Scarecrow is neither a traditional travel agency nor an outdoor club focusing on adventure, claiming that "it will not go to crowded scenic spots; Don't sleep in a bland hotel double room; No return traffic is arranged, and tourists will continue to explore after the local dissolution ... "
Scarecrow, formerly known as the Scarecrow Outdoor Sports Association of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, now shares the network platform and travel information with university associations, and has launched classes and other projects for college students. The tour leader information on the company's website also shows that many tour leaders are part-time students, which can reduce costs on the one hand and highlight the difference between this tourism model and ordinary tourism model on the other, that is, making friends.
Among the class trips recently launched by the company, only one is related to Sanshan Island in Taihu Lake, and that is the Dome Mountain of Top Secret Mission &; Sanshan Island ",offer 350 yuan/person, and give away travel accident insurance.
In view of the "non-traditional and unconventional" tourist routes frequently organized by Scarecrow Travel Agency, Director Yang Fan of the Market Management Department of Shanghai Tourism Bureau said yesterday that "the routes organized by travel agencies must be absolutely safe, and the safety should be correctly and fully evaluated, so as to control risks and strengthen management. In the future, the tourism management department will also ask and remind travel agencies from these aspects. "
Xiaoli, a senior donkey friend, said yesterday that the scarecrow is not well-known in Shanghai Outdoor Club, and may mainly do business for college students. At present, in similar tourism projects, some tour leaders are not qualified as professional tour guides, but only experienced travelers, and may not perform as well as professional travel agency leaders in some matters needing attention. The tour guide fees of these part-time tour guides are not as good as those of full-time tour guides, and most of them only cost more than 100 yuan per day.
A Jiaotong University student who was injured in this tragedy said that the trip was organized by the class itself, and there was no teacher to lead the team in order to enhance the feelings among the students. The "4 4" Suzhou Taihu Lake accident sounded the alarm for the upstream water supply. Due to the suspension of the Taihu Lake water speedboat operation project, Sanshan Island Scenic Area was temporarily closed to the public on April 13 and 14.
On June 5438+03, Suzhou also held an emergency meeting on water traffic safety, proposing that Suzhou will start the special clean-up and rectification work of the waters around Taihu Lake. At the meeting, Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Transportation reported on the plan of centralized management and installation of electronic monitoring equipment for the designation of special tourist waters, special navigation channels and docks in Taihu Lake.
Many factors, such as drunk driving, suspected dangerous driving, crossing of passenger and freight lanes, and passengers not wearing life jackets, are the causes of the accident. The "4 04" collision accident in Taihu Lake taught us a profound lesson. How to draw inferences from others and avoid similar accidents from happening again? On June 5438+03, Suzhou held a special meeting on the safety management of the city's tourism industry. At the meeting, it was reported that Wuzhong District would integrate the resources of Taihu Lake cruise ships, standardize the operation behavior of cruise ships, and ensure the safety of tourists by increasing the number of large ships.
According to the introduction of relevant departments, the management status of surface yachts in Taihu Lake has been thoroughly investigated recently. Among them, there are 22 1 certified speedboats belonging to three travel companies, but they still exist in the form of individual operation.
Feng Jianrong, deputy head of Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, said in an interview with the media that the next step will be to carry out special cleaning and rectification of the waters around Taihu Lake, one of which is to regularly clean and rectify all kinds of ships on Taihu Lake. The general ideas are as follows: first, corporate management of ships, so that there is only one company operating water projects in Taihu Lake waters; Secondly, by increasing the number of large cruise ships between scenic spots, flights between scenic spots can be carried out regularly to avoid potential safety hazards to some extent; Third, strengthen joint law enforcement, as long as some unlicensed ships are resolutely banned.
Qin Huang, vice mayor of Suzhou, pointed out that there are still some problems in Suzhou's tourism industry, such as insufficient investment in facilities and imperfect safety mechanism, which requires all departments to tighten the string of safety at all times.
