HANOI, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam's northern province of Quang Ninh is considering the installation of an early warning system for thunderstorms, whirlwinds, torrential rain and rough sea waves, Vietnam News Agency reported Friday.
The initiative aims to enhance safety for tourists on cruise ships following a tragic accident in Ha Long Bay last month that left 39 people dead.
Local authorities will work with the Institute of Earth Sciences to deploy the system at key tourist sites, including Ha Long Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay, and other coastal areas. ■
