A programme on tourism promotion co-operation between Quang Ninh and the central city of Danang, the southern central province of Khanh Hoa and the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak was held in Khanh Hoa on Wednesday.
The programme on tourism promotion co-operation between Quang Ninh and Danang, Khanh Hoa and Dak Lak is held on June 10.
The programme attracted the participation of many travel firms from the three localities which are home to airports. At the event, several memorandums of understanding on tourism co-operation were signed among tourism associations, travel firms and airlines.
Pham Hai Quynh, director of Hai Van Xanh Tourism Company, in Quang Ninh Province, said that his firm and its partners had worked together to launch attractive tours.
According to delegates from Quang Ninh, tourists to Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh have been on the sharp rise following the province’s tourism stimulus campaign.
Visitors to Ha Long Bay, Yen Tu tourist site and Quang Ninh Square from May 14 and June 1 enjoyed free tickets. The priority will be also applied to other holidays such as Vietnamese Family Day (June 28), Vietnam Tourism Day (July 9) and War Invalids and Martyrs Day (July 27), August Revolution (19/8), National Day (2/9), Vietnam Women’s Day (20/10) and Vietnamese People's Army Day (22/12). Passengers through Van Don International Airport will be offered free tickets to Ha Long Bay.
Airlines which open flights to Van Don International Airport will be supported in opening offices and tourism promotion activities.
Some travel firms suggested that Quang Ninh should consider reducing fees to visit Ha Long Bay for travellers who stay overnight and cut airport fees for airlines.
