(Central News Agency Reporter Yu Hsiao-han, Taipei 30th Exclusive Report) Following an amusement park vehicle accident in Shanlinxi that caused one death and seven injuries, Taiwan's Tourism Administration Director Chen Yu-hsiu stated today that related management guidelines will be proposed by the end of the year for reference by various local governments and units.
The Legislative Yuan's Transportation Committee today reviewed the budgets of units such as the Executive Yuan's Public Construction Commission and the Ministry of Transportation and Communications.
Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Chen Su-yueh inquired about an accident in March this year at the Shanlinxi Forest Ecological Resort in Nantou County, where an electric shuttle bus fell down a slope, resulting in one death and seven injuries among the driver and passengers.
Minister of Transportation and Communications Chen Shih-kai said that there is a related research project on the management of amusement park vehicles, hoping to propose solutions that can be referenced by the Tourism Administration and local government tourism bureaus.
Tourism Administration Director Chen Yu-hsiu said that last year, they already found deficiencies in the laws and regulations regarding amusement park vehicles, and thus initiated relevant research. However, it is regrettable that the accident occurred before the research project was completed, so a comprehensive inspection is currently underway.
Chen Yu-hsiu pointed out that currently, there are 25 tourism and amusement operators across Taiwan, 12 of which have related amusement park vehicles. Only one of these 12 does not have relevant management regulations, and this part will be actively guided.
Chen Yu-hsiu stated that vehicle safety has related maintenance methods. What needs to be strengthened now are the key points in operational management and inspection procedures, which will be gradually reinforced. Related management guidelines will be proposed by the end of the year and provided to other ministries for reference, allowing for the management of large venues or festivals that exceed the scope of the Tourism Administration's management.
The Tourism Administration said that due to the different types of amusement park vehicles, the guidelines will suggest different management regulations according to different types. (Edited by Li Shu-hua) 1150430
