Just 5 days after storm No. 3 devastated Ha Long, life has returned to normal.
Urgent efforts by the government and tourism businesses have helped quickly overcome the damage, ensuring facilities and human resources to serve tourists.
At Ha Long International Passenger Port, immediately after storm No. 3 passed, the cruise ships here focused on maintenance, ensuring the conditions of facilities and safety to restore operations as soon as possible.
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 welcome guests back. I did not think everything could return so quickly. That is thanks to the determination of the government and businesses 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 storm No. 3, devoting all resources to ensuring the requirements to welcome back tourists. Mr. Ngo Van Nam - Deputy Head of Ha Long Tourist Boat Association said: "We have never witnessed such a big storm, causing serious consequences to the boat operators. But 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, most of whom are international. Tourism businesses have both overcome the damage after the storm and ensured the best conditions to welcome and serve tourists.
Ms. Elizabeth Dickerson, an American tourist, shared: “I was very touched to see the efforts of the people of Ha Long to restore the city. Despite the damage caused by the storm, the hotels and services here still ensured our trip. 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."
To prepare to welcome tourists after storm No. 3, safety is the top priority for all units. Mr. Nguyen Thai Hung, General Director of Saigon - Ha Long Hotel said: "Tourists in general, especially foreign tourists, share the difficulties and losses caused by natural disasters. However, they always put safety first and we have quickly taken all measures to clean up and overcome the consequences of the storm to meet that requirement. Up to this point, the hotel has returned to welcoming guests as usual. 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".
Recently, Ha Long city has launched a call for people to spend 7 days and nights to overcome the consequences of storm No. 3. With the spirit of solidarity and unity of the people of the coastal city, after only half the time of launching the campaign, daily life in general and tourism in particular are gradually recovering in the area where the storm passed.
Ms. Phan Thi Hai Huong, Head of the Propaganda Department of the Ha Long City Party Committee, Quang Ninh, said that immediately after the storm passed, 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 every business and citizen will join hands to build a more beautiful city.
On September 12, the Ha Long City Party Committee met and worked with representatives of local businesses, 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...
Ha Long City, with its strong vitality, is gradually recovering from the storm, aiming to welcome over 9.5 million visitors in 2024.
