More than 6 million visitors travel to Quang Ninh province
|
|
Northern Quang Ninh province has welcomed nearly six million holiday-makers over the past ten months, up 10 percent over the same period last year.
This is a good sign demonstrating that the province’s efforts to promote tourism are paying off.
The increasing number of visitors is attributed to the recent voting of Ha Long Bay as one of the New Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the success of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Week - Carnival Ha Long 2012, and the Investment Promotion Conference.
Nearly two million foreigners came to Quang Ninh during the reviewed period, an increase of 7 percent compared to the previous year. The tourism sector earned VND3,665 billion, up 18 percent over the same period in 2011.
Ha Quang Long, Director of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said in the remaining months of this year, Quang Ninh will accelerate inspections of tourism activities and deal strictly with violations, strengthen tourism promotion, and develop new products and services to attract more visitors./.
