Ha Long welcomes nearly 50,000 visitors on the first day of the holiday

To attract tourists, during the April 30 and May 1 holidays, Ha Long City has prepared many festivals and unique cultural experiences. Starting on April 27 is the Dragon Festival; followed by the beer and squid festival; the expanded Ha Long City zumba festival in 2024 and the opening of Bai Chay walking street.

This series of events has opened an exciting summer for tourism in Ha Long in particular and Quang Ninh in general. On the first day of the holiday, accommodation facilities and restaurants were crowded, 4 to 5 star hotels had 100% occupancy. However, the city has been proactive and well prepared to serve tourists and people, so there has been no prolonged congestion, security and order are stable, food safety and environmental sanitation are ensured.

Many hotels and restaurants have reduced prices to attract tourists in the spirit of reducing prices without reducing quality. Travel agencies also offer a variety of products at competitive prices, not taking advantage of the summer surge in customers to increase prices.

It is expected that on this occasion, with a series of cultural and sports events and the highlight being the Ha Long Carnival Program with the theme "Lighting up with Wonders" taking place on the evening of April 28 at the Ocean Park beach, it will promise to bring visitors experiences that are rich in cultural identity, but also vibrant, new and modern, contributing to improving competitiveness and increasing the attractiveness of Ha Long tourism in particular and Quang Ninh province in general. The goal set by Ha Long City is to welcome about 270,000 visitors during the 5-day holiday.
