The move is among the province’s tourism promotion activities after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Ha Long Bay, Yen Tu tourist site and Quang Ninh Museum benefited from a half-price discount for the first six months of 2021. The province also offered free entry to the three spots since July.
Having been reopened since late September, Quang Ninh has attracted a modest number of visitors. Ha Long Bay serves around 100 travellers per day.
The ticket sales of the bay is estimated at around VND7 billion (USD304,347) for 2021 against average figure of VND1.2 trillion in previous years. The majority of the figure came from the first months of the year.
The Quang Ninh Tourism Association has proposed building some tours in Covid-19-free areas. Under the tours, visitors can come to certain designated areas amid the ongoing pandemic.
