Quang Ninh is targeting 9.5 million visitors in 2022. |
The move is in response to the Government’s approval of reopening tourism activities in such condition starting from March 15 after a two-year hiatus because of the COVID-19.
Right from the beginning of 2022, Quang Ninh opened a number of tourist attractions that meet the requirements and are labeled as safe, especially spiritual sites, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors.
At accommodation service establishments in Quang Ninh, room occupancy has begun to increase again. Currently, the province has nearly 700 tourism businesses meeting the provincial safety criteria for epidemic prevention and control.
Pham Ngoc Thuy, Director of the provincial Department of Tourism, said Quang Ninh has launched activities to welcome tourists from the beginning of the year in adaptation to the new situation. The works have so far produced effective and safe outcomes, he added.
