In the early days of summer, a bustling atmosphere begins at the Bac Luan II Bridge border crossing, Mong Cai International Border Gate, Mong Cai 1 Ward, from early morning. A long line of people complete immigration procedures, the majority of whom are tourists from China.
At the check-in counters, the authorities coordinated smoothly, applying information technology to shorten waiting times and ensure the security and safety of tourists. From the border gate, the tourist groups continued their journey to the province's famous tourist destinations.
Mr. Tan Giang, a tourist from Shandong Province (China), shared: “ Quang Ninh is very famous, especially Ha Long Bay. Vietnam and China are close neighbors, so travel is convenient. Not only does it have beautiful scenery, but the people here are also very friendly and hospitable. I believe Quang Ninh will continue to attract a large number of international tourists in the future.”
According to Ms. Vu Thi Kim Thoan, Head of the Culture and Social Affairs Department of Mong Cai 1 Ward, with the advantage of being a border locality with a large international border gate, the ward always focuses on developing tourism in conjunction with expanding international cooperation, especially with localities in China. The locality has actively promoted cultural exchange, connected travel businesses, developed cross-border tourism products, and created favorable conditions for immigration and emigration activities.

In the fields of culture, tourism, and sports, Quang Ninh has proactively integrated foreign relations and cultural diplomacy activities with tourism promotion and the promotion of the local image. The province has strengthened connections with Vietnamese representative offices abroad, international organizations, and foreign partners to introduce the unique cultural values, people, potential, and advantages of Quang Ninh.
Quang Ninh also actively coordinated with relevant central and local agencies in the process of lobbying internationally for UNESCO to recognize the Yen Tu - Vinh Nghiem - Con Son - Kiet Bac complex of historical sites and scenic spots as a World Cultural Heritage site. This success makes Quang Ninh the only locality in Vietnam to simultaneously possess two World Heritage sites of both natural and cultural types, contributing to enhancing the province's position and image on the international stage.

In addition, the province has organized and coordinated with central agencies to hold many national and international-scale cultural, sports, and tourism events such as: Ha Long Carnival, Art for Climate Festival Ha Long, Ha Long Heritage International Marathon, Vietnam-China Cross-Border Cycling Race; while also promoting tourism in key markets such as China, South Korea, Japan, and ASEAN countries.
In 2026, the implementation of Resolution No. 59 will continue to be concretized through various programs and plans for tourism development, promotion of the Yen Tu World Cultural Heritage site, organization of tourism stimulus activities and promotion of trade and services; strengthening cooperation with international organizations, participating in regional tourism forums, expanding promotion on international media channels and developing tourism products suitable for each customer segment.
Besides traditional markets, Quang Ninh is expanding its tourism promotion efforts to potential markets such as Russia, CIS countries, India, and the Middle East. The tourism industry is proactively connecting with major travel agencies, welcoming international survey delegations, and researching and developing tourism products that are friendly to Muslim tourists.
Efforts in international integration, market expansion, and innovation in promotional activities have contributed to the growth momentum of Quang Ninh's tourism industry. In the first five months of 2026, the province is estimated to have welcomed 10.145 million visitors, including 2.23 million international visitors, an increase of 18%. Total tourism revenue is estimated at 27.684 billion VND, an increase of 20% compared to the same period.
With the goal of welcoming 22 million tourists in 2026, including 5.2 million international visitors, Quang Ninh is continuing to effectively promote international integration, diversify products, expand markets, improve service quality, and build a civilized and friendly tourism environment.
