On July 7, 2024, the Khanh Hoa Department of Tourism issued Document No. 1727/SDL-QLDL to travel service providers in the province, regarding tourism activities on Binh Ba Island, Hon Chut Island, and Binh Hung Island. This action follows Decision No. 44/2015/QD-TTg dated September 22, 2015, by the Prime Minister, which outlines regulations for ensuring security and safety at the Cam Ranh military base (Decision No. 44/2015/QD-TTg).
