In the long term, the province is also planning to expand and develop new destinations, itineraries, and tourist routes in Ha Long Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay, Van Don, Co To, forming high-quality sea and island tourism products,... Typically, the Ha Long Bay Management Board has registered to open 3 more beaches to serve tourists. These beaches include: Soi Sim Island Beach, Hang Co area (also known as Thien Canh Son Cave) and Trinh Nu Cave area. These are all beautiful sandy beaches located at the foot of the land and rock islands in the middle of Ha Long Bay. It is expected that in 2025, Quang Ninh province will open a tourist route from Lan Ha Bay to Ha Long Bay. Tourists from both sides will travel by cruise ship on routes 3 and 4, thereby making the most of the resources of Vietnam's first inter-provincial heritage (World Natural Heritage Ha Long Bay - Cat Ba Archipelago).
