With the theme “Hai Phong - a four-season tourist destination”, the Conference aims at 5 key objectives: promoting, advertising, and enhancing the image of Hai Phong tourism on the tourism map of Vietnam and the world; strengthening regional connectivity, building inter-provincial products and routes, connecting tourism with agriculture, industry, craft villages and commerce.
Call for investment in modern infrastructure, high-end services and green tourism products with strong competitiveness; promote green transformation and digital transformation, towards smart, environmentally friendly and sustainable tourism; establish a long-term coordination mechanism between enterprises - associations - localities, ensuring that post-conference commitments are implemented substantially and effectively.
Speaking at the conference, Mr. Nguyen Minh Hung, Vice Chairman of Hai Phong City People's Committee, affirmed that this is a great opportunity to introduce and promote the image of Hai Phong tourism; a platform to share experiences, seek cooperation and promote creative solutions to develop sustainable tourism, especially in the period of recovery and acceleration of the tourism economy after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hai Phong’s tourism products are developed based on the principle of sea and island tourism as the core with two famous sea tourism areas, Do Son and Cat Ba. Along with that are sports and resort tourism and supporting tourism products with high spillover effects such as community tourism, agricultural tourism, rural tourism, cultural, historical and spiritual tourism.
Hai Phong is rich in cultural tourism resources with nearly 4,000 relics, including 2 world heritages recognized by UNESCO; 24 intangible cultural heritages and nearly 3,000 festivals. In particular, festivals taking place all year round create a different highlight compared to other localities in the Red River Delta, which usually only take place in spring.
The eastern part of Hai Phong stands out with its advantages of sea, islands, and resorts, while the western part has strengths in culture, spirituality, and craft villages. This is an important basis for Hai Phong to combine with Quang Ninh and Ninh Binh to form a regional tourism route.
Comrade Nguyen Minh Hung shared that in the coming time, Hai Phong will focus on developing specific tourism products such as: sea and island tourism, luxury resorts, MICE, golf and culinary tourism, combining spiritual and cultural tourism and craft villages.
The city will also promote tourism on digital platforms, expand international cooperation, organize famtrip and presstrip programs to spread the image of Hai Phong strongly. The quality of tourism human resources will also be invested in and further improved to build a professional workforce with foreign language skills and modern style.
Hai Phong City commits to continue working with ministries, branches, local Tourism Associations, businesses and investors to build Hai Phong into a green, safe, attractive and friendly tourist destination.
At the conference, the Tourism Associations of the localities: Hai Phong, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Quang Ninh, Da Nang and Can Tho signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the field of tourism, opening up regional linkages and increasing the attractiveness of destinations in the coming time.
