Specifically, Lam Dong Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism requested Saigon Railway Exploitation Branch to reconsider this decision and at the same time requested to improve service quality to ensure tourist satisfaction.

Mr. Tran Thanh Hoai, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Lam Dong, emphasized that Da Lat Railway Station is a national tangible cultural heritage, not only having special architectural value but also associated with the memories and emotions of many generations of domestic and foreign tourists.

"Increasing ticket prices needs to be carefully considered to ensure community service value and create conditions for everyone to fully enjoy the beauty of this architectural work," Mr. Hoai shared.

Mr. Hoai also noted that increasing service prices must go hand in hand with improving the quality of experience for tourists. The Department has asked the Saigon Railway Exploitation Branch to develop a specific itinerary, diversify tourism products, and at the same time find solutions to preserve and promote heritage values, avoiding negative impacts on the brand image of Da Lat Station.

Mr. Cao The Anh, Vice President of Lam Dong Tourism Association, also expressed his opinion: "Price increases must have a roadmap and must be commensurate with the quality of services provided. If the quality is not improved but only prices are suddenly increased, it will be easy to displease customers and damage the image of the destination."

Da Lat Railway Station was recognized as a National Historical Site in 2001 and has long been an attractive destination for tourists when coming to Da Lat city.

Public opinion believes that the sudden price increase while the station has not had significant investment and upgrade is unreasonable. Many people are concerned that this will affect the experience of tourists and may reduce the attractiveness of Da Lat Station - one of the most famous tourist destinations in the city of thousands of flowers.
