While checking the electricity, water, and the final steps to welcome guests, Mr. Nguyen Quang Kha - Captain of the Green Bay 9468 Ship happily shared: We are extremely excited to receive the information that we can welcome guests again. I did not think that everything could return so quickly. It is the determination of businesses and the government, working together to clean up and overcome the consequences of this historic storm. Although there are still difficulties, we always believe that tourists will soon return to Quang Ninh.
It can be seen that the tour boats on Ha Long Bay have quickly overcome the consequences of Typhoon Yagi, devoting all resources to ensuring the requirements of welcoming visitors back. Mr. Ngo Van Nam - Deputy Head of the Ha Long Tourist Boat Association said: We have never witnessed such a big storm, causing serious consequences to the boat operators. However, we have directed the boats to prepare equipment, technical safety as well as resources to ensure the best quality of service for tourists.
Immediately after the storm passed, many tourist groups, especially international tourists, still came to Ha Long City. Since September 10, the city has welcomed thousands of visitors, mostly international visitors. Tourism businesses have both overcome the damage after the storm and ensured the best conditions to welcome and serve tourists with confidence in the recovery of the city's tourism, just as they have steadily overcome the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ms. Elizabeth Dickerson, an American tourist, shared: “Our group of 31 people traveled from Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue. On the way, we heard about the storm that devastated your city. We were very touched to see the trees, houses, and hometowns of your city destroyed, and every person here is trying very hard to restore this place. The hotel still ensures good conditions for our stay. This is the second time I have returned to Ha Long after many years, if I have the opportunity, I will return to see your city develop more, become greener”.
In preparation for welcoming tourists after Typhoon Yagi, safety is the top priority for all units. General Director of Saigon - Ha Long Hotel Nguyen Thai Hung said: "Tourists in general, especially foreign tourists, share the difficulties and losses caused by natural disasters.
However, they always put safety first and we quickly took all measures, quickly cleaned up and overcame the consequences of the storm to meet that requirement. Up to this point, the hotel has returned to normal reception. We hope that in the coming time, the locality will have more stimulus policies to support businesses, as well as attract tourists to Ha Long."

It is known that recently, Ha Long city launched a call for people to spend 7 days and nights to overcome the consequences of storm Yagi, but with the spirit of solidarity and unity of the people of the coastal city, after only half the launching time, daily life in general and tourism in particular are gradually reviving where the storm passed.
Head of the Propaganda Department of the Ha Long City Party Committee Phan Thi Hai Huong emphasized that immediately after the storm, the leaders of Ha Long City quickly and actively directed localities and called on people and businesses to overcome the consequences. Up to now, life has gradually returned. The good news is that many tourist groups have chosen Ha Long as their destination, especially international visitors. With the spirit of proactive determination and love for the city, we hope that each business and citizen will join hands to build a more beautiful city.
Not only the determination of businesses, on September 12, Ha Long City Party Committee met and worked with representatives of businesses in the area, including tourism businesses, to find solutions to remove difficulties in tax policies, remove bank loans, restructure debt repayment terms; consider exempting and reducing loan interest; restoring production...
With the mindset of an international tourist city, Ha Long always has within itself strong potential and vitality. From there, it will quickly recover and realize the goal of welcoming over 9.5 million visitors in 2024.
