Chairwoman of the Ly Son District People’s Committee Pham Thi Huong reported that these tourists had arrived on Ly Son Island several days earlier.
Upon receiving news that the circulation of typhoon Wutip would cause wind gusts, heavy rains, thunderstorms, huge waves and rough sea in the waters off Quang Ngai Province, the Ly Son authorities have regularly updated the development of weather conditions and ferry schedules to tourists so they could plan their departure.
However, many tourists still wanted to stay on the island so they were stranded.
The local authorities have plans to ensure the safety of the tourists. Besides, hotels on the island are also providing adequate accommodations and living conditions for the visitors.
