CCTV News:The most blocked place for the Spring Festival return trip this year is undoubtedly Hainan. Up to now, there are still more than 10,000 foreign vehicles stranded in Hainan.
The superposition of five factors causes a large number of return vehicles to stay.
Weather factors: No rare foggy weather in ten years.
According to the meteorological department of Hainan Province, winter is the season of high fog in Hainan, and there is more fog in Qiongzhou Strait from December to March every year, mostly in advection fog. This kind of fog generally comes and goes suddenly, and it generates and dissipates quickly, so it is easy to appear repeatedly. The maritime department will issue a notice of suspension and resumption of navigation according to the weather forecast and visibility.
Technical factors: the ship navigation system is only an aid.
Since the third day of the New Year’s Eve, the Qiongzhou Strait has been suspended repeatedly due to the rare foggy weather that has not happened in ten years. Some people may question, isn’t there navigation? In fact, the ship navigation system can only be an auxiliary means, and it is still necessary to use visual inspection when entering and leaving the port to avoid collision accidents.
Capacity factor: the capacity decreased due to the collision accident.
There are more than 50 passenger ro-ro ships transporting vehicles this time. If the navigation is normal, 20,000 vehicles can be sent out of the island every day. However, a collision between two ships occurred in Hai ‘an Xingang Channel, xuwen county, Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province in the early morning of the 22nd, which caused the capacity to drop for a time, and it didn’t return to normal until yesterday morning.
Passenger flow factor: nearly 100,000 vehicles need to leave the island.
Since 2015, both passenger and vehicle transportation have increased by more than 15% every year, especially during the Spring Festival holiday. According to the traffic increment calculation of Qianjin Island in this year’s festival, the number of vehicles that need to leave the island in Hainan has reached nearly 100,000.
Traffic factors: There are only two ways to cross Qiongzhou Strait.
The fifth is the traffic restrictions in and out of Hainan Island. At present, there are only two ways to cross the Qiongzhou Strait. If you don’t fly, there is only one way by sea. It is precisely because of the superposition of the above five factors that a large number of return vehicles are stranded in Haikou.
The vehicle detention time has lasted for about a week and will continue for several days in the future. Due to the stranded vehicles, some problems have arisen. Although Hainan dispatched a large number of volunteers to help ease the traffic and provide services for tourists, some passengers were annoyed because of their long stay, and once blew their horns to vent their anger. In addition, the detention of a large number of people also produces a large amount of garbage, which brings some pressure to the environment. A heavy fog caused a large number of tourists to stay. Can we only blame God? Is there anything worth thinking about?
Cctv review
During the Spring Festival holiday, Hainan Province has experienced an unprecedented test in tourism reception and emergency response. When the fog locked the island, a large number of private cars were stranded in Hainan, and tourists were in a hurry, which brought great pressure to tourism and transportation departments in Hainan Province. At present, there are still a large number of vehicles stranded, and the diversion work continues. On the basis of doing the follow-up work well, the thinking caused by this should also be carried out continuously and deeply.
The local government’s emergency response level has improved.
This time, 10,000 private cars were stranded in Hainan, which was triggered by extreme weather. It really happened for a reason. Relevant departments in Hainan Province urgently launched the first-level plan, government departments performed their duties, and all civil servants were temporarily suspended to make way for tourists’ vehicles. These measures are worthy of our praise. Especially in the process of guiding tourists, many residents and volunteers in Hainan Island show a strong sense of ownership, contribute to the guidance work, and join the government departments in the service guarantee work, which makes people feel warm.
Judging from the emergency response to the large-scale detention of tourists, the relevant departments of Hainan Province have done what they should do. Although the results failed to satisfy many tourists, the response of relevant departments and the energy of generate in a short time reflected the progress of management level.
However, thinking about the handling of this incident should not only stay in the short-term emergency treatment, but also broaden our horizons.Look at the event itself from a longer-term perspective and a broader perspective.. Especially in terms of "preventing" and "preventing" similar situations from happening again, we should have deeper thinking and do more.
Hainan Island has limited carrying capacity, and early warning measures should be taken in the future.
In the eyes of national tourists, Hainan Island has its own charming scenery and unique charm. Every winter, especially during the Spring Festival, Hainan is a popular destination for tourists all over the country. A large number of tourists from all over the world gather on the island in a short time. In case of extreme weather and other special circumstances, it is not a small probability event that people are stranded or traffic jams.
In fact, during the Spring Festival a few years ago, tourists flocked to some popular scenic spots in Hainan, and the phenomenon of people crowding each other has appeared many times. On some main roads leading to scenic spots, the phenomenon of big traffic jams also appears frequently. These phenomena have repeatedly reminded us that the carrying capacity and reception capacity of key scenic spots and even the whole island are approaching the limit. In fact, as early as 2014, during the holiday in Hainan Island, tourists in go on road trip blew out, and traffic in Sanya and Haikou was once paralyzed. In this regard, Hainan said in the past that it would introduce measures to moderately control the vehicles entering the island from go on road trip. In recent years, the average annual double-digit growth of vehicles in go on road trip,Are tourists and vehicles really welcome to the island?
It is reasonable to say that Hainan is an outlying island, and the port can fully grasp how many vehicles enter Hainan, which also provides certain information advantages for current restriction.In the future, is it possible to restrict the flow of these vehicles? How to limit the flow to ensure a better travel experience and not be blocked in the road?Especially, according to the meteorological characteristics, the Qiongzhou Strait is foggy from December to March every year, and most of it is advection fog. Whether we should leave enough transportation capacity for the possibility of extreme weather and consider the number of tourists according to the degree of transportation capacity surplus is worthy of in-depth study and discussion. Under the background that Hainan wants to establish a data island and a wisdom island, such a topic is prominent and urgent.
How to balance the development of tourism and ecological protection is worth thinking about.
Ten thousand vehicles stranded in Hainan this time are not only a matter of tourism experience, but also the essence behind it is how to strike a balance between developing tourism and protecting the ecological environment. Restricting tourists is not only from the perspective of transportation capacity, but also from the perspective of ecology.
Some time ago, the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group criticized Hainan for breaking through the ecological bottom line for economic development in some areas, and Hainan later made serious rectification according to the opinions of the Environmental Protection Inspector Group.Protecting Hainan’s unique ecological environment is the public’s expectation, so is providing tourists with high-quality tourism services and products.
As an island, Hainan has limited ecological capacity. At the same time of tourism development, if we don’t take certain measures for the vehicles entering the island from go on road trip with an annual double-digit increase, especially during holidays, once a large number of foreign vehicles flood in, it will bring a relatively large increase in tourism consumption in the short term, but it is not in line with the long-term development of Hainan Island? What impact will this have on the tourism quality of Hainan Island? These problems need further thinking and planning.
There is a good saying, everything is done in advance, and it is abolished if it is not done in advance. A large number of tourists were stranded, and we saw the ability of Hainan authorities to deal with it urgently, as well as the enthusiasm of local people, and we should also see the shortcomings. Only by long-term overall planning can we handle all kinds of emergency situations more calmly and calmly.
If the word "international tourist island" is a treasure given by heaven, it is artificial to do a good job in the management of "tourism" according to "international" standards.From this goal, Hainan still has a long way to go and still needs to work hard.
