On September 13, Ha Long Pearl Joint Stock Company welcomed the first groups of visitors to visit and experience pearl farming in Ha Long. These groups of visitors came to the company less than a week after super typhoon Yagi devastated two stores and pearl farms of the Company.
On the morning of September 13, at My Ngoc store of Ha Long Pearl, many groups of visitors came to visit, experience and shop.
It is estimated that over 10 groups of visitors, equivalent to over 200 guests, visited and shopped at My Ngoc store of Ha Long Pearl Joint Stock Company in Don Dien area, Ha Khau ward (Ha Long city). Most of the guests came from Europe such as Spain and France. There were also some guests from Malaysia.
Visiting the production, cultivation and product display area of Ha Long Pearl after the company hastily repaired and restored it after the storm, visitors can still experience and fully introduce the pearl farming and pearl culturing process: from culturing the nucleus, creating pearls to processing raw pearls into pure pearls and shopping for pearl products in Quang Ninh.
Tourists go in small groups to have their tour guide introduce the pearl farming process in Ha Long.
Ms. Mari Cruz, a Spanish tourist, shared: I was introduced and learned about the process of pearl farming and pearl cultivation. This is a very complicated process and requires meticulousness and elaboration. I was very surprised that Ha Long has such beautiful jewelry products.
Mr. Nguyen Xuan Hieu, tour guide of Vietnam Viajes Company, said: When I learned that the shops of Ha Long Pearl Company suffered heavy damage due to the storm, we were quite worried. But when the group arrived, the scenery and space, although still showing signs of the storm, were clean and airy. The quality of service was no different from before, from the tour guides to the company's staff, everyone was very enthusiastic and attentive. Guests still experienced the full process of the tourism product and they all enjoyed it very much.
Visitors listen to an introduction to the history of pearl farming.
Ha Long Pearl is a business that suffered very heavy damage due to Typhoon Yagi: the Company's two pearl farms in Ha Long Bay were both destroyed by the storm; the roofs of the company's two stores that process, display and sell pearl products in Ha Khau ward were both blown off by the storm. Le Pearl store suffered heavy damage and had to temporarily close. Ha Long Pearl is currently welcoming customers at My Ngoc store.
To ensure the conditions for welcoming guests, right after the storm, a team of more than 100 officers, employees and workers of Ha Long Pearl Joint Stock Company immediately started cleaning, sanitizing the environment, connecting with partners to repair and renovate the My Ngoc store premises. With high determination, ready with the best conditions to welcome guests, the entire Ha Long Pearl Company was put in a working condition 3 times higher than normal. Every day from 7am to 11pm, from the leaders to each employee of the Company tried to clean and arrange the store, bringing production and business back to normal.

Ms. Nguyen Thuy Huong, Director of Ha Long Pearl Joint Stock Company, said: Next, we must deploy the remaining store as soon as possible to welcome tourists. At the same time, our entire production team must make every effort with all their experience and expertise to re-explore all raw pearl and cultured pearl sources to see how much percentage is left and we must continue the plan to transfer raw materials from Nha Trang and Phu Quoc in time for the new planting season. With the highest enthusiasm and determination, in sync with the recovery of Ha Long Bay tourism after Typhoon Yagi, we strive to complete a part of the pearl farm in Ha Long Bay in December 2024.

Welcoming the first groups of guests is of great significance, marking the "lightning-fast" recovery of Ha Long Pearl Company right after the super typhoon, joining the determination and general working and production spirit of the whole province to overcome the consequences caused by typhoon Yagi, stabilize labor, production and continue to reach the target that the tourism industry in particular and Quang Ninh province in general have set out in 2024. "After the rain, the sky is clear again", Quang Ninh tourism will certainly return to the right track to reach the target of 19 million visitors in 2024.
