Evita urged the Tourism Ministry to lead a comprehensive reform involving search-and-rescue agencies, police, disaster authorities, transport regulators, meteorologists, the military and local governments.
Proposed measures include national safety standards, mandatory operator certification, early warning systems, rapid response protocols and stronger law enforcement.
To avoid unclear lines of responsibility, she suggested forming a dedicated coordinating body to monitor daily compliance with safety procedures at tourist destinations.
“There must be a clear lead coordinator to mobilize resources quickly. Institutions exist, but field implementation and supervision remain weak,” she said as quoted Antara.
Evita also called on tourists to be more proactive, urging them to question safety procedures and avoid operators that cannot guarantee adequate protection. ***
