The 12-storey vessel, with 3,000
tourists on board, was en route from Fujian’s Xiamen port city to Quang Ninh to sail around Ha Long Bay,
before leaving for the Central city of Da
Nang.
The trip was organized by Chinese
tour operator Orangeways, which has strength in hosting Meeting, Incentive,
Convention and Exhibition (MICE) tours in Europe and Asia. This is the first
time the company has run a tour in Vietnam, supported by its local
partners – Inter Cruises Vietnam and Ha Long Cruises.
In May 2017, Quang Ninh and Fujian signed a
cooperation pact, which stressed potential for engagements in sea and air
tourism.
