When entering into contracts with tour charter companies, they must improve safety management systems, Strengthen travel safety management and services for tourists, standardize the use of seat belts, etc., and make clear agreements to implement the responsibility for reporting safety matters. If the seat belt is incomplete, the device is damaged, the seat cover is blocked, or other problems that prevent it from being used normally, the tourist charter company must take immediate measures to correct it. Transportation tasks must not be arranged until the seat belt is restored to normal use.

Cultural and tourism departments in various places should urge travel agencies to provide key instructions on the standard use of seat belts and other precautions in tourists’ pre-departure instructions. Tour guides should remind tourists before departure (including when the vehicle rests on the way and then departs again). Wear seat belts throughout the entire journey, and supervise and remind tourists to check and fasten their seat belts while driving, especially when traveling on highways and dangerous sections; for those who do not listen to advice and insist on not using seat belts, they will be removed from the vehicle on the premise that the vehicle has stopped safely. The driver *** also provides persuasive services. If fixed-line tourist passenger vehicles depart from the passenger terminal, the operator of the passenger terminal must strictly implement the "three no-entering and six no-exiting" requirements to ensure that exiting passengers wear seat belts.

Public security departments in various regions should continue to deepen the "one helmet, one belt" safety protection operation, focusing on highway toll stations, service areas, roads surrounding scenic spots and other sections where large and medium-sized passenger vehicles are concentrated, and increase on-site law enforcement inspections Strengthen efforts to investigate and correct illegal behaviors such as drivers and tourists not using seat belts in accordance with regulations; local culture and tourism departments should make urging tourists to standardize the use of seat belts an important part of inspecting the safety work of travel agencies, and will supervise tourists who fail to fasten their safety belts Travel agencies and tour guides that wear seat belts are included in the evaluation of civilized tourism.

For safety accidents involving chartered vehicles that have occurred, local public security, transportation, culture and tourism departments must hold relevant business units and personnel accountable in accordance with the law and regulations based on the accident investigation results. Safety responsibilities are not fully implemented, safety belt usage problems are prominent, safety accidents occur frequently, and the "five no-rent" system for vehicle use is not implemented (i.e., vehicles are not rented by operators who have not obtained the corresponding passenger transport operating license, and vehicles that do not hold a valid road transport certificate , vehicles without satellite positioning devices, vehicles without carrier liability insurance, vehicles without charter contracts) travel agencies and tourism charter companies will increase warning exposure and consolidate the company's main responsibility for safety production.
