Danang tells small hotels to register quality

Dao Loan

The Danang Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced the requirement at a meeting with local hotel operators on a price stabilization program in the lead up to an international fireworks contest slated for next month.

The department’s request for hotel quality registration is in line with a decision made by the city’s government last month to tighten the management of hotels and raise the quality of hotel services in Danang.

The current regulations require accommodation facilities to inform the authorities of their operations within 15 days after inauguration and register their quality for assessment no later than three months after the date of their opening, said Tran Chi Cuong, deputy director of the department.

But around 160-170 hotels of one and two-star standards in the city have yet to register for quality evaluation.

In line with the new regulations of the department, those hotels will have to submit their quality registrations to the department or seek permission to reschedule the deadline or they will face sanctions.

However, some said the regulations that require one-star hotels to have restaurants and two-star hotels to have conference rooms are strict.

Cuong said the department had proposed the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism consider revising the regulations to make them workable.
