In response to the public opinion spread on the Internet that "spending money to experience the 'Thousand People Banquet' is all peanuts and edamame", the Bureau of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports of Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County attached great importance to it and intervened in the investigation as soon as possible, and the situation spread on the Internet was basically true. The situation is hereby notified as follows:
First, the basic situation
After investigation, the "Thousand People Banquet" event held next to the Baoting Theater on April 12, 2024 was held by Hainan Pengbo Xinsheng Information Consulting Co., Ltd. in an independently funded manner, which is a commercial behavior. Due to the large number of participants, the company lacked experience in security and maintaining on-site order, insufficient organizational ability and inadequate service in the process of serving food, resulting in the inability to serve meals normally, uneven distribution of dishes, and insufficient management manpower in the ticket inspection process, resulting in a greatly reduced sense of experience and satisfaction of the audience participating in the event, causing tourists to be disgusted and recording video transmission.
2. Disposition
First, Hainan Pengbo Xinsheng Information Consulting Co., Ltd. has publicly released a letter of apology to the public.
Second, Hainan Pengbo Xinsheng Information Consulting Co., Ltd. will give a full refund to the tourists participating in the event, and consumers can apply for a refund with tickets and payment records, and the acceptance phone number is 13098999958.
The Bureau of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports of Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County will continue to resolutely crack down on violations of laws and regulations that infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of tourists, and resolutely investigate and deal with behaviors that disrupt the order of the Baoting tourism market in accordance with the "zero tolerance" attitude, and thank the majority of tourists and the media for their supervision. At the same time, we also encourage more outstanding enterprises that are legal and compliant to invest in Baoting, and jointly maintain and create a good market environment for tourism and cultural consumption in Baoting.
Here, we sincerely welcome everyone to visit Baoting!
