Scales are being placed at major seafood trading spots and markets across the ward to improve transparency and protect consumers during the peak tourism season.
The verification scales have been installed at high-traffic locations including Cot Do Market, Moi Market and several streets lined with fresh and dried seafood shops.
“The scales allow residents and visitors to check the weight of goods after purchase, helping prevent commercial fraud and encouraging fair business practices,” a Sam Son Ward official said.
The ward has also posted hotline numbers for local police, market management authorities and the Sam Son Public Services Centre at trading areas.
So far, seven verification scales have been installed, with authorities planning to expand inspections and awareness campaigns to promote a more transparent and tourist-friendly business environment.
The measures come as Sam Son aims to attract more than 9 million visitors and generate tourism revenue of around VND 19 trillion (USD 720 million) during the 2026 tourism season.
Local authorities have also removed rundown kiosks near Doc Cuoc Temple and cracked down on electric cart drivers accused of soliciting tourists and colluding with shops to overcharge visitors.
Nearly 500 electric carts have been deployed this year, with designated pick-up and drop-off points introduced to improve order and reduce previous traffic chaos.
