Quang Ninh strives to become a tourism center connecting the region and the world.

Quang Ninh has set a goal of becoming a regional and international tourism hub by 2030, affirming the spearhead position of the tourism industry in the local economic structure. Not only relying on nature and heritage, Quang Ninh is taking new approaches, creating unique tourism products to become an unmissable destination.

Since the beginning of the year, Quang Ninh has welcomed 38 international cruise ships with nearly 49,000 visitors, an increase of 25% over the same period in 2024. This is one of the localities that welcomes many cruise ships carrying tourists , thanks to the port system and tourism products that are constantly being renewed to meet diverse tourist needs.

Ms. Tran Nguyen, representative of Sun Group Corporation said: "Businesses have joined together, in addition to promotion work, inviting famtrips, media trips to proactively communicate, connecting with airlines, we also create and continuously innovate products. Fireworks display is a product, or Yoko Onsen Quang Hanh system will also change the brand to invite Hilton to manage. This is a big brand in the world so that international tourists have more confidence, evaluate Quang Ninh as a classy destination all year round and can develop sustainably".

The modern port system allows Quang Ninh to welcome large cruise ships.

Besides welcoming cruise ship passengers, Quang Ninh has also emerged in the MICE tourism segment. The trend of MICE tourists shifting to Southeast Asia has opened up great opportunities for Quang Ninh with delegations from many countries choosing Ha Long and Bai Chay to organize conferences and resorts.

However, Ms. Le Thi Bich Hang - Director of Vietravel Quang Ninh Branch said that in order to better exploit the advantages, the locality needs to focus on investing more in community tourism and facilities for large groups of visitors: "To attract more international visitors, Quang Ninh must improve community tourism. Many visitors want to learn about the lives of local people, customs and practices. In addition, to welcome large groups of 2,000 - 3,000 visitors, Quang Ninh is still lacking in facilities. Hopefully in the future, Quang Ninh will have new steps forward and meet the needs, on that basis, businesses will advertise and exploit customer sources."

Quang Ninh strives to become a regional and international tourism center by the end of 2030.

Quang Ninh is not only conveniently located with both land border gates and seaports, international airports, but also a place for tourists to visit World Heritage Sites recognized by UNESCO, such as the Complex of Monuments and Landscapes of Yen Tu - Vinh Nghiem - Con Son, Kiep Bac; Ha Long Bay - Cat Ba archipelago. These are all special advantages that create momentum for the development of Quang Ninh tourism.

Mr. Nguyen Trung Khanh - Director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism affirmed: "With natural resources, UNESCO-listed World Heritage Sites and infrastructure systems, Quang Ninh is expected to make a strong breakthrough in the coming time, with strong tourism products, especially entertainment, resorts, cultural and spiritual tourism, especially attracting creators in the cultural field. The Vietnam National Administration of Tourism is ready to accompany localities in building digital data to create brands for localities and the country".

In the first 7 months of 2025, Quang Ninh welcomed 14.6 million visitors.

In the first 7 months of 2025, Quang Ninh welcomed 14.6 million visitors, an increase of 109% compared to the plan, with estimated revenue reaching nearly 37,000 billion VND. The markets of Northeast Asia, China, and India all grew positively, affirming strong resilience. However, the province still lacks modern performance centers and theaters with large capacity, which are necessary conditions to host international events.

Mr. Nguyen Lam Nguyen - Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Quang Ninh said: "Quang Ninh has many plans to build cultural and sports facilities to attract tourists here, especially in organizing conferences, seminars, shows, events and sports activities. Quang Ninh is planning to attract strategic investors and businesses to invest in facilities and infrastructure to serve tourism development, cultural industry development and contribute to the socio-economic development of the province in general".

Aiming to become an international tourism center, Quang Ninh not only exploits what nature has to offer but also proactively integrates, innovates, and sets higher goals. With the "paving the way" of major Central Resolutions and the national digital transformation strategy, Quang Ninh tourism is having more support to become a "four-season destination".
