Halong-Fangchenggang cruise route back in service
The Halong-Fangchenggang route is jointly operated by local and Chinese travel firms, said Doan Manh Linh at Quang Ninh Province’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
This sea tourism service was suspended as ships failed to meet travel service quality requirements.
Guangxi is considered a major potential source of tourists for Vietnam, so the reopening of the route is believed to contribute to increasing Chinese tourist arrivals in Quang Ninh by sea.
Quang Ninh now has another sea cruise service connected to Beihai with two trips per day and a lot of international ships bringing tourists to Halong Bay.
According to Linh, from this October until next April, Halong will welcome over 200 ships carrying international tourists, up 18% year-on-year. Many of these ships make scheduled visits./.
