HÀ NỘI The People's Co妹妹ittee of Đà Lạt City in the Central Highlands province of Lâm Đồng on Wednesday fined Nguyễn Thị Kim Thoa, director of Dream Flower Hotel Ltd. Co, for discriminating against tourists.

She was fined VNĐ 四 million for discriminatory behaviour against tourists specified under Article 六 of the Government's Decree No 四 五/ 二0 一 九/ND-CP dated May 二 一, 二0 一 九, which concerns administrative punishments in the field of tourism.
On January 二 九, a group of foreign tourists posted information on social media that although they had booked a room in advance at Dream Flower Hotel, when they arrived, the owner of the hotel was unfriendly towards them and did not allow them to check in as they were foreigners and she was afraid of being infected with a disease.
After the above information was spread online, on the afternoon of January 三0, Đà Lạt City authorities came to investigate the incident and fined the hotel for two violations.
The owner of Dream Flower Hotel was fined an additional VNĐ 四 million by the city authorities as the hotel was not registered before opening. VNS
