Hotels and scenic spots in Sanya Prevention and Management Zone have resumed business. How to pay for the food and accommodation of stranded passengers in hotels?

As a city with many tourists, Sanya is very important to strictly implement epidemic prevention measures if an epidemic occurs locally. Since a case was confirmed in Sanya, a group of tourists have been stranded in first-tier hotels in Haitang Bay and other places, waiting for nucleic acid test reports and other reasons. Sanya has set up a dedicated team to provide consultation and service guarantees for stranded passengers. Now hotels and scenic spots in Sanya Prevention and Management Zone have resumed business. This is good news for tourists.

So, how to solve the problem of food and accommodation costs for travelers stranded in hotels? Regarding this problem, Meng Xuyan, deputy director of the Sanya Municipal Tourism and Culture Bureau, has given a solution: stranded passengers do not need to bear the cost, and the hotel has charged the stranded passengers’ accommodation fees and refunded them in full. Referring to the agreed prices for designated venues for party and government meetings in Sanya from 2021 to 2022, the government will provide room and board subsidies to 18 first-tier hotels in Haitang Bay. The room fee will be 580 yuan per room per day, and the meal fee will be 50 yuan per person per meal.

An epidemic occurred in Sanya, and relevant personnel conducted nucleic acid tests to cooperate with epidemic prevention and control. Epidemic prevention and control is an important measure to prevent the further spread of the epidemic. Now that hotels and scenic spots in the Sanya Prevention and Management Zone have resumed business, solutions to the problem of food and accommodation expenses for stranded tourists in hotels have been introduced. Then the next step is to strictly follow the plan. Hotels in the management area do this indeed. Among them, the accommodation subsidy for Crowne Plaza Haitang Bay Yanlord will be from February 27, 2022 to the date when the hotel is unblocked, and the meal subsidy will be from February 28, 2022 to the day the hotel is unblocked.

After the hotels and scenic spots in the Sanya Prevention and Management Zone resumed business, they have solved the problem of food and accommodation expenses for stranded tourists in the hotels quite well. This avoids disputes over payment of fees when tourists are stranded in hotels due to epidemic prevention and control. It also demonstrates China’s humane measures for epidemic prevention and control. This also makes people more willing to cooperate with epidemic prevention and control. The epidemic-related investigation was finally completed to avoid further spread of the epidemic.
