According to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Quang Ninh is expected to welcome around 18.8 million tourist arrivals in the first nine months of 2026, including an estimated 4.21 million international arrivals and 7.3 million overnight arrivals. Total tourism revenue is estimated at VND 56.4 trillion.
Since the beginning of the year, the city has organised a wide range of cultural, sports, tourism promotion and stimulus activities and events, contributing to product development, enhanced visitor experiences and tourist attraction. Notable examples include the Halo Bay Show, VuiFest Night Market and artistic fireworks displays in Bai Chay ward…
In the fourth quarter, the city will focus on organising a series of cultural, sports and tourism events with strong visitor appeal, including the Ha Long Bay Heritage Marathon 2026, Quang Ninh Food Festival 2026, Yen Tu Autumn Festival, Binh Lieu Then Festival, the Quang Ninh - Guangxi cultural, arts and tourism event, the Quang Ninh Autumn Regional Specialities Exhibition 2026 and the Quang Ninh Green Tourism Forum.
Alongside event organisation, the city is orienting each programme towards links with accommodation, sightseeing, cuisine, shopping, recreation and entertainment products, while coordinating with travel businesses to develop and launch tours and service packages immediately before and during the events. This will contribute to creating a vibrant atmosphere at destinations, extending visitor stays and increasing tourist spending, while gradually turning event appeal into visitor flows and tourism revenue, towards achieving the 2026 targets of 23 million tourist arrivals and more than VND 70 trillion in tourism revenue.
