According to the Department of Tourism, the province greeted more than 16.7 million tourists, a year-on-year rise of 20%, in which foreign tourists reached over 3 million.

Total tourism turnover posted over 40.1 trillion VND, a year-on-year increase of 38%.

The last two months of the year are the final stage to complete the goal of welcoming 19 million tourists for the whole year, including 3.5 million international visitors, so the provincial tourism industry is organizing many events to promote and attract tourists such as the SuperFest 2024 Music Festival and Quang Ninh Culinary Festival.

In particular, the locality will focus on promoting and advertising tourism to industrial parks, large economic groups and attracting MICE visitors.

Major events held from now until the end of the year will also be an opportunity for Quang Ninh to affirm its status as a destination for events, effectively spreading the image of its tourism to domestic and international tourists.

According to the Department of Tourism, aiming to realize this goal, the province continues to focus on promotion work, diversify autumn and winter tourism products, develop 4-season tourism; and promote cruise tourism.

The province will soon put into operation three beaches of Soi Sim, Hang Co and Trinh Nu on Ha Long Bay; organize art performances combined with light parties in some qualified caves on the bay; identify seven pristine island areas and beaches for the billionaire and super-luxury segment of 1% of the world's population./.
