Like previous years, the two tourist areas of Cat Ba and Do Son continue to be the main attractions for tourists to Hai Phong, especially international tourists. In the past 10 months, these two famous island tourist areas attracted more than 5.5 million visitors.
After Do Son and Cat Ba, the special national relic site of the Temple of Trinh Trang Nguyen Binh Khiem in Ly Hoc commune, Vinh Bao district has become the most popular tourist attraction in Hai Phong city.
Speaking with Nguoi Dua Tin, Mr. Nguyen Van Tai - Head of the Management Board of the special national relic site of the Temple of Trinh Trang Nguyen Binh Khiem, informed that in the past 10 months, the relic site welcomed about 1.1 million visitors, mainly domestic tourists.
It is expected that from now until the end of the year, the special national relic site of the Temple of Trinh Trang Nguyen Binh Khiem will welcome about 100,000 - 150,000 more visitors.
With a gap of about 500,000 visitors, Hai Phong is very close to the goal of welcoming tourists for the whole year of 2023 (7.3 million visitors). To complete this goal as well as create momentum for tourism in 2024 and the following years, Hai Phong City will strengthen propaganda and promote destinations suitable to the needs and tastes of tourists in the Fall - Winter, focusing on exploiting inner-city tours (city tours) and culinary tours (food tours) .
