Accordingly, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism requests the People's Committees of communes and wards to regularly disseminate information and remind organizations and individuals engaged in business, especially owners of establishments on tourist streets and areas with a high concentration of international visitors, to comply with regulations on writing and placing signs and using foreign languages in advertising as stipulated in the Advertising Law. At the same time, they are directed to review, inspect, and strictly handle violations according to Government Decree No. 87 dated March 27, 2026, on administrative penalties in the fields of culture and advertising, in order to contribute to building a civilized urban image, ensuring aesthetics, and complying with the law.
The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has instructed the Legal Affairs Department (under the Department) to urgently coordinate with the Nha Trang Ward People's Committee, the Provincial Police, and other functional forces to form an inspection team to focus on handling the situation of signs and advertisements using foreign languages that do not comply with regulations on streets with a high volume of tourists.
The Department of Family Culture Management, the Department of Tourism Management, etc., are requested to strengthen state management in the field of advertising and advertising licensing; integrate and coordinate the dissemination of regulations on advertising and advertising services; and remind organizations and individuals doing business serving tourists to comply with regulations on the use of foreign languages when writing and placing signs and advertisements.
For organizations and individuals engaged in advertising services, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism requests that they proactively comply with and strictly adhere to the legal regulations regarding advertising services within the province, and refrain from using advertising content that violates regulations. In cases where requests for advertising signs that do not comply with regulations arise, they should proactively coordinate with relevant authorities to promptly remind the relevant agencies, avoiding delays in enforcement and removal, which can be costly and lead to public backlash.
