Under the official letter sent to provincial and municipal administrations, the ministry emphasized solemnity, savings, safety, and efficiency in accordance with the nation's cultural traditions and customs of each locality, avoiding ostentation, formality, and waste.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has requested provincial and municipal administrations to take full responsibility for managing and organizing festivals under decentralized management. Additionally, plans should be made to ensure the safety and order of festival activities, including social safety, fire and explosion prevention, environmental protection, food hygiene and safety, etc.
Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism also requested relevant departments in provinces and cities to proactively send art troupes, movie projection teams, and mobile propaganda teams to remote areas, ethnic minority areas, border areas, and islands to serve people and soldiers. Moreover, localities are asked to strengthen and proactively promote effective measures in fighting against false information of hostile forces on social networks, raise awareness and consciousness of people, and prevent the use and dissemination of fake news and toxic culture.
It is crucial to reinforce inspection and supervision measures before, during, and after festivals to timely prevent and strictly handle violations that may occur during such events. This is particularly important in cases of abusing monuments, festivals, and beliefs for personal gain, engaging in superstitious activities, gambling, wasting, and so on.
Provincial and municipal administrations should provide guidance to accommodation establishments and service businesses to implement safety measures for tourists and prevent any negative manifestations, price hikes, and undue pressure on prices. They should also enhance the management and control of the quality of tourism services and facilities to ensure the safety and comfort of tourists.
