Ha Long Bay welcomes over 610,000 visitors in the first three months of the year, with nearly 82,000 domestic tourists and over 529,000 international visitors.
During the first three months of 2024, Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, saw a bustling influx of international visitors. Despite it being the first quarter of 2024 and not yet the peak summer season, both domestic and international tourists flocked to Quang Ninh Province, generating a total revenue of over 10 trillion Vietnamese dong from tourism.
According to the Ha Long Bay Management Board, as of the end of March, Ha Long Bay received over 610,000 tourists, including nearly 82,000 domestic tourists and over 529,000 international tourists.
Among the aforementioned tourists, nearly 145,000 stayed overnight, with over 9,200 domestic tourists and nearly 136,000 international tourists opting for overnight stays.
The increase in international visitors to Quang Ninh is primarily attributed to sea cruise tourism. International tourists staying in Ha Long Bay mainly come from countries such as South Korea, India, Europe, and the Americas.
It is expected that in April and May, the number of tourists to Ha Long Bay will surge as it enters the peak season for island and sea tourism. Alongside this, tourism demand-boosting activities in Quang Ninh Province, notably the 2024 Ha Long Carnival scheduled for April 30th, will significantly contribute to the growth of tourism in Ha Long.
In 2023, Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, welcomed over 2.46 million tourists, including more than 1.15 million international tourists, with ticket sales revenue reaching nearly 720 billion Vietnamese dong.
