A group of foreign tourists' memories of Vietnam are almost certainly scarred after they were ripped off
on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. They were forced to pay nearly VND16.5 million (US$702) for
a meal of 14 dishes and ten beers at a restaurant in tourism hotspot Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa Province, with
several simple dishes costing exorbitant prices. The restaurant owner explained to authorities after the bill
started circulating on social media that the vegetables were fried with beef, the porridge was cooked with
lobsters and that food sources were limited at that time due to the Lunar New Year holiday. The
restaurant was fined for not having fixed food prices in line with administrative regulations. However, the
VND750,000 ($32) fine was miles less than the profit they made that night. At another restaurant also in
Nha Trang over the holiday, tourists were ripped off with a bill for VND800,000 ($34) for four sets of
rice and VND l.5 million ($64) for three sets of eggs fried with tomatoes.
Travel scams have been recognized as a problem for Vietnamese tourism. The national code of conduct
for local and international tourists, tour operators and residential communities at tourism spots issued by
the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2017 specifies rules applicable to tourism, hotel and
transport service providers and sellers, refraining them from disturbing tourists, overcharging and selling
low-quality or fake products. But the code of conduct seems to have had little effect in reality. Even
though the problem has only been reported in certain localities, travel scams such as overcharging for
restaurants, hotels, taxi fares, vendors, shopping traps and pickpocketing have scarred the whole country’s
tourism success. Like a rotten apple which spoils the barrel, travel scams have held back the country’s
efforts to boost service quality-oriented tourism.

Late on the evening of March 22nd, a group of gunmen unleashed terror upon attendees gathered to enjoy
a rock concert by the band Piknik at the Crocus City complex in Krasnogorsk, a city on the western
outskirts of Moscow, Russia. Located approximately 20 kilometers from the Kremlin, the venue, with a
capacity of 6,200 people, had sold out tickets for the event. The attack occurred as the audience settled
into their seats in anticipation of the performance, as reported by TASS.
According to Russian investigators, the gunmen, dressed in military attire, opened fire with Kalashnikov
automatic rifles on those present in the concert hall. Shouts and screams echoed as victims scrambled to
flee. Some lay motionless after being struck by bullets, while others sought refuge in escape routes.
"There was a stampede. People were running towards the exits," recounted one eyewitness, as cited by
Reuters.
TASS reported that a group of individuals was apprehended enroute to the Ukrainian border. One of the
suspects confessed to participating in the attack "for money, around 500,000 rubles (approximately 140
million dong)." He claimed he was contacted through an app called Telegram and given weapons by
someone else. Responding to these revelations from Russia, Andriy Yusov, a spokesperson for the
Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, asserted that the Kyiv authorities were not
involved in the recent terrorist attack on Russian soil, as reported by Reuters.
Russian security authorities announced the arrest of 11 suspects involved in the deadly attack, which
claimed the lives of at least 133 people and left over 100 others injured at the music concert. By last
night, Russia declared that all four gunmen, rather than the initially reported five, believed to have
participated in the assault, were in custody. Addressing the nation last night, Russian President Vladimir
Putin pledged to pursue and punish those responsible for the heinous act.
This horrifying attack has shocked Russia, and people are mourning the lives lost. It's a stark reminder of
the threat of terrorism and the need for countries to work to fight it.
