By the end of September, Quang Ninh welcomed 15.6 million visitors, including nearly 2.6 million international visitors, approaching the 3 million mark since 2020.
According to experts, for the domestic tourist market, the number of visitors has grown well compared to 2024, mainly from provinces and cities in the Red River Delta and the northeastern provinces.
For the southern provinces, the number of visitors is not much, due to high airfares, visitors tend to go to nearby destinations, or to Thailand and Malaysia, which have costs equal to domestic tours.
The period from now until the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025 is the low season for domestic tourism. Therefore, the domestic tourist market will have certain difficulties.
On the other hand, looking at reality, despite efforts to renew tourism products and improve service quality, Quang Ninh is also facing strong competition in terms of prices, types of services, and products with regional destinations such as Cat Ba, Sa Pa, and destinations in Ninh Binh province. In addition, other international destinations such as Thailand and the Southwest region of China have low prices, so they are popular with domestic tourists.
As for the international tourist market, the flow of Korean and Taiwanese (China) tourists has shown positive signs. In the 2024-2025 tourist season, these two markets have many schedules to Ha Long and the number of visitors is approaching that of 2019.
Along with that, the European and American tourist market has also improved with a relatively good number of guests booking overnight cruises on Ha Long Bay in October and November. However, due to the impact of the war in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, the number of visitors from this region to the ASEAN region is not much.
As for China, the largest tourist market of Quang Ninh, there are not many positive signs because the Chinese government is currently promoting the domestic market. However, some Chinese localities have organized inspections and reviews of travel activities bringing Chinese tourists to Vietnam through Mong Cai International Border Gate, promising to welcome this flow of tourists back.
In addition to maximizing the traditional international tourist market, Quang Ninh tourism aims to expand to new markets such as India and develop the ASEAN market more strongly. Thanks to that, in recent months, the number of tourists from India, the Philippines, and Malaysia has been increasing, and it is forecasted that in the coming months, this market may continue to increase.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Quang Ninh province aims to attract 3.36 million visitors, of which international visitors need to reach 909,000, with total tourism revenue reaching over VND 9,600 billion.
According to the Department of Tourism, to realize this goal, the province has focused on propaganda, promotion and attracting visitors. In particular, conveying the message "Quang Ninh - rapid recovery after the storm, continuing to be a safe, friendly and hospitable destination" as well as encouraging Quang Ninh people to travel to Quang Ninh.
Along with that, localities, departments, branches and units continue to focus on cleaning up the landscape and environment in coastal areas and tourist areas; pay attention to ensuring the tourism environment, and develop new products to attract visitors.
The province will soon put into operation three beaches: Soi Sim, Hang Co, and Trinh Nu in Ha Long Bay; organize art performances combined with light parties in some qualified caves in the Bay; identify seven pristine island areas and beaches for the billionaire and super-luxury segment of the world's 1% population. In addition, diversify autumn and winter tourism products, develop four-season tourism; and promote cruise tourism.
In particular, the end of the year is the festival season. Therefore, units and localities have planned to organize many attractive cultural, tourism and sports events such as: Tea Flower Festival 2024 (late October 2024); Binh Lieu Cultural Tourism Week 2024 (October 2024); Halong Bay Heritage Marathon 2024 (November 2024); Asian Police Taekwondo Open Competition and music event to promote the tournament (December 2024); activities to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ha Long Bay being recognized as a World Natural Heritage (December 2024).
In addition, the units are also researching to organize a number of sports tournaments such as Marathon, Pickle ball, chess... or the 2024 Quang Ninh Province Ethnic Minority Women's Football Championship and the 2024 Quang Ninh Province Ethnic Minority Sports Tournament in Binh Lieu District.
In the long term, to promote Quang Ninh as a destination and attract tourists in the coming time, the province will organize tourism promotion programs such as: Welcoming business delegations and press from China and India to survey and connect with Quang Ninh tourism; supporting the organization of the Binh Lieu farmtrip program for international travel businesses. At the same time, organizing tourism promotion programs in industrial parks, provinces and cities of Hai Duong, 9 provinces in the Mekong Delta region./.
