Ten travel firms which are licensed to operate tours on Nha Trang Bay in Khanh Hoa Province have pledged to fix tour prices on Nha Trang Bay to deal with the low-quality tours.

Nha Trang-Khanh Hoa Tourism Association on February 20 signed a deal with 10 travel firms on adjusting tour prices on Nha Trang Bay to cope up with the unfair competition among tour operators.

According to Nguyen Van Thanh, vice chairman of the association, lots of unofficial travel agencies provide four-island tours at cheaper prices with low-quality services, which has harmed the image of Khanh Hoa’s tourism sector

Under the agreement, the 10 travel agencies operating tours to the bay, commonly known as four-island tours, have committed to apply new tour prices under the agreement from March 1.

They have also agreed not to offer no promotional tours to ensure the tour prices remain unchanged at all costs.

The fees for wooden boats on Nha Trang Bay will be VND250,000 (USD10.86) a person, excluding admission fees at each location, instead of the current prices of VND150,000-200,000; while the price for tours using motorboats will be VND450,000 each compared to the current VND350,000.

The firms also supported the establishment of a fund to maintain tour management at the bay at a monthly rate of VND1 million per firm.
