Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on Further Strengthening the Summer Safety Management of Tourist Attractions

The cultural and tourism departments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and the Culture, Sports, Radio, Film, 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 Jiushanding Natural Scenic Spot in Jizhou District, Tianjin, Shanglinshe Eco-tourism Scenic Spot in Lvliang City, Shanxi Province, and Geocentric Valley Scenic Spot in Enshi Prefecture, Hubei Province, which reflected that there were loopholes in the security of individual scenic spots and management services were not in place. 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 brings great pressure to the safe and orderly opening of tourist attractions. All localities should earnestly improve their political positions, fully understand the importance of doing a good job in the safety management of summer tourist attractions, and further strengthen their responsibilities. 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 a supporting plan for accurate prevention and control, and comprehensively deal with the peak passenger flow.

Third, strengthen the investigation of hidden dangers to ensure the safety of facilities. It is necessary to actively cooperate with the emergency and market supervision departments and 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 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 according to 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 business risks caused by the idle facilities and equipment in tourist attractions and the flow of personnel, and strictly check the operation status of the reopened facilities and equipment in 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 extensively publicize tourism safety knowledge in flood season and summer vacation, popularize tourism safety emergency knowledge, 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, strengthen emergency drills, and ensure rapid response and proper disposal after emergencies.

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 Annual Review of National A-level Tourist Attractions in 2022. 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 task, and strengthen the peak response. It is necessary to give full play to the warning role of dynamic management, and deal with A-level tourist attractions with poor rectification and inadequate safety management in accordance with relevant regulations and announce them to the public.

I hereby inform you.
