Tapping into the Chinese tourist market.

China has long been a key international market for Vietnamese tourism in general, and Quang Ninh province in particular. As a province sharing both land and sea borders with China, Quang Ninh has proactively promoted tourism activities, facilitating and connecting tours and travel agencies, thereby attracting tourists from this populous nation.

With the advantage of being a key tourist destination bordering China, and having convenient and synchronized air, road, and sea transportation, many travel agencies in Quang Ninh have proactively connected with partners to understand the needs and preferences of tourists, focusing on innovating products and services from cruises, hotels, restaurants, and destinations, ensuring the conditions for serving Chinese tourists.

Possessing attractive, unique, and distinctive destinations, along with a convenient transportation system, Quang Ninh - Ha Long has received positive signals from the Chinese tourist market. Recently, the 5-star cruise ship Costa Serena docked at Ha Long International Cruise Port, bringing 3,040 tourists from Hong Kong, China to Ha Long. This is the second time in 2024 that the Italian-flagged Costa Serena, famous for its itineraries in Asia, has brought tourists to Ha Long on the Hong Kong - Ha Long and Ha Long - Hong Kong routes.
