As the tourism industry shifts its focus from visitor numbers to quality and value-added experiences, cruise tourism products in Ha Long Bay are not only helping strengthen Quang Ninh’s tourism brand but are also becoming a key attraction for high-spending visitors, particularly international tourists.
Of the more than 1.42 million tourist arrivals recorded at the Ha Long Bay World Heritage Site since the beginning of the year, over 80% have been international visitors. Recently, Ha Long Bay cruise tours were rated by international travellers among the world’s leading travel experiences for 2026. With the unique advantages of Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with increasingly professional investment in premium cruise services, Quang Ninh is gradually reinforcing its position as one of the region’s leading resort and leisure destinations while advancing its goal of developing tourism into a spearhead economic sector in a professional, modern and sustainable manner.
