Accordingly, Vietnamese toursits can visit Ha Long Bay, The Complex of Yen Tu Monuments and Landscape, Quang Ninh Museum for free from May 15-31, and some holiday occasions in June and July such as International Children Day (June 1), Vietnamese Family Day (June 28), Vietnamese Tourism Day (July 7), etc.

Vietnamese visitors will also enjoy the “buy one, get three” program on normal days in June and July in three above-mentioned destinations.

In May, Quang Ninh will launch a high-quality bus route from Van Don International Airport to Doc Do, Uong Bi city, nearby the Yen Tu complex. Besides, all visitors are granted free bus transit from Van Don International Airport to Quang Ninh’s Uong Bi city and vice versa. The free service is due December 31.

The fees exemption and reductions, however, is only valid during day times, Thoi Dai reported.

The province has earlier asked for the Prime Minister’s permission to kick off this year “Ha Long – Quang Ninh Welcome Summer 2020” program on May 16, however, on a smaller scale than previous years. The annual Carnival Ha Long is canceled this year due to COVID-19. Several new promotion programs are under plan to boost local tourism after a prolonged halt.

Quang Ninh has allowed the essential business to resume activities. Checkpoints at the gates bordering adjacent provinces are temporarily suspended.

Statistics from the Department of Tourism of Quang Ninh show the province’s influx of tourists from the beginning of 2020 until now (1.5 mil visitors) is only 23 percent that of this time last year. The Department is expecting the effective stimulus policies will help Quang Ninh tourism industry regain its development speed.
