Quang Ninh Province has planned to designate seven pristine island areas in Ha Long Bay to cater to the ultra-wealthy, representing the top 1% of the world’s population.
The People’s Committee of Quang Ninh recently held a meeting to discuss solutions for promoting and developing tourism towards the end of the year. During the meeting, they proposed designating seven areas on remote islands with beaches in Ha Long Bay to serve the billionaire segment, targeting the ultra-luxury market.

In the last three months of 2024, Quang Ninh aims to attract over one million more visitors, including over 900,000 international tourists. The province is determined to reach the goal of welcoming 19 million visitors by the end of the year.
Nguyen Thi Hanh, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Quang Ninh, has involved the Department of Tourism and related units to urgently open three beaches on Ha Long Bay: Soi Sim Island, Co Cave, and Trinh Nu Cave. The plan includes organizing art performances with light refreshments inside some qualified caves on Ha Long Bay, as well as identifying seven remote islands and beaches for the billionaire segment of the ultra-wealthy 1%.
Additionally, the province will hold an event to mark the milestone of welcoming the 17 millionth visitors and the 3 millionth international visitors to Quang Ninh.
Furthermore, to expand new maritime tourism products, Quang Ninh has directed relevant departments to expedite the development of the tourist boat fleet, aiming to have 100 high-quality new boats operating in Bai Tu Long Bay.
