Focusing on "quick completion of projects" while ignoring safety and quality

For example, projects such as aerial swings and glass viewing platforms have certain safety risks in themselves, and some places have not yet clarified the regulatory responsibilities, resulting in regulatory loopholes.

As market players such as tourist attractions and travel agencies, they must strictly fulfill their safety production responsibilities. At the same time, relevant departments must establish and improve mechanisms to ensure that once a tourism-related emergency occurs, they can respond promptly, organize effectively, and provide adequate rescue.
