Scandal in Nha Trang: Cyclo driver brutally attacks tourist!

In Nha Trang, Vietnam, an incident involving a cyclo driver is causing excitement and discussions about the treatment of tourists. On the evening of May 31, Nguyen Van Minh, deputy chairman of the Nha Trang People's Committee, said he learned of an incident in which a cyclo driver was accused of stealing money from a foreign tourist. He called on specialized agencies to review the incident and act in accordance with regulations. The incident was further reinforced by a video circulating on Facebook documenting the driver's uncivilized behavior.

The video in question shows how the cyclo driver gets into a conflict with the tourist and snatches two banknotes out of her hand. The frightened tourist responded to the driver's aggressive behavior by taking the little girl by her side and fleeing. In the comments to the video, many users expressed their outrage at the driver's inappropriate behavior and called for immediate intervention from the authorities.

Reactions of the authorities

Nha Trang city authorities have taken measures to fully investigate the incident after receiving feedback from the public. There have been repeated reports of attacks on tourists in this region in the past, often in connection with unreasonable fees. Against this background, particular care is taken to ensure that such incidents do not further damage the image of tourism in Nha Trang.

The Khanh Hoa Province Tourism Industry recommends that tourists contact the hotline 0947.528.000 for various assistance options in case of any unusual incidents. This measure is intended to help identify and solve problems at an early stage to improve the travel experience in Nha Trang.

Cyclo tours in Nha Trang

Apart from incidents like this, cyclo tours are a popular way to explore Nha Trang. Tourists are met by a guide at Cau Da Port before setting off on their journey along Tran Phu Beach Boulevard. This route takes you past large hotels, resorts, restaurants, bars and boutiques known for the city's lively atmosphere.

The tour also includes visits to significant landmarks such as the XQ Historic Village, where the art of handmade embroidery can be learned and skilled workers can be seen practicing their craft. Other highlights include the Stone Church, the oldest Catholic church in Nha Trang, and the Long Son Pagoda, which houses a large Buddha statue and offers a popular viewpoint of the city.

After a lunch of local food, participants have the opportunity to visit the Po Nagar Cham Towers, the remnants of the former Cham Kingdom in Vietnam. The tour ends with a return to the port and also offers tourists time for relaxation and shopping at the Dam Market.

While cyclo tours represent many positive aspects of traveling in Nha Trang, it remains vital that the well-being of tourists is safeguarded to ensure that such beautiful experiences are not overshadowed by inappropriate events.
