The Nana Backpacker Hostel in Vang Vieng, previously linked to the deaths of six tourists from methanol-laced drinks, is set to reopen as the Vang Vieng Central Backpacker Hostel. Survivors and families of the victims express concern that the management remains the same. Travelers previously reported symptoms of poisoning after consuming free vodka shots. Despite denying any wrongdoing, the original hostel has remained closed since the incidents, yet evidence suggests that reopening might reconnect it with past fatal events. The reopening has raised alarms about visitor safety and trust in management.
"I'm shocked. If it's the same management or ownership involved, I wouldn't trust them. It's just unbelievable because we know that was where we were poisoned."
"TripAdvisor confirmed to Newsbeat the hostel was reopening with a new name."
