Quang Ninh strives to welcome about 10 million visitor arrivals in 2022

Quang Ninh will launch a campaign on safe tourism in mid-March when Vietnam fully reopens its borders to foreign tourists.

The province has currently possessed the highest and earliest coverage of the 3rd dose of Covid-19 vaccine nationwide and have been drastically carrying out plenty of safe, flexible adaptation solutions and effective control of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The province, henceforth, determines to resume local tourism activities with the target to welcome roughly 10 million tourist arrivals including 1.5 million international ones.

The program for tourism recovery in 2022 has been established to restore all tourism activities and ensure the safety for all destinations and tourists. 

According to the director of Tourism Department, Pham Ngoc Thuy, the locality is now totally ready for tourism resumption. Under the campaign, there will be a roadshow throughout southern cities and provinces, and other localities where many industrial and processing zones are located to promote Quang Ninh’s image.

A number of cultural and art events are scheduled for the second quarter of this year, she said, adding that Quang Ninh will continue its close coordination with the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism and agencies under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to hold working sessions with international organisations and Vietnamese diplomatic missions abroad to step up the promotion efforts.

Roadshows will also be held in major markets like China, the Republic of Korea (RoK), Japan and Thailand when possible, according to the official.

Quang Ninh plans to organise a total of about 70 cultural, sport, tourism and trade events and programmes this year to attract holidaymakers. It will also host seven sports of the SEA Games 31, which is expected to help the locality lure more visitors.
