In this incident, the cruise ship did not have legal qualifications, but it was still in operation, and it led to serious casualties, which highlights the current problems in the safety management of cruise ships. Therefore, the relevant responsible parties, especially tour operators and cruise ship operators, should be strictly held accountable. At the same time, the regulatory authorities should also strengthen the supervision of the cruise industry, strengthen safety standards and supervision and inspection, and ensure the safety of tourists. Only in this way can we effectively avoid the recurrence of similar accidents and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
