Hai Phong: On the way to the international tourism hotspot!

Hai Phong, Vietnam - Hai Phong, an emerging city in Vietnam, presents itself as an attractive location for tourism. The city benefits from rich and diverse tourist resources, both natural and cultural. A crucial step in the strategic development of Hai Phong is the Resolution 45-NQ/TW of the Politburos, which aims to expand the areas of Cat BA and Do Son as international tourist centers. This is supported by significant measures to promote tourism and could position the city as an important player on the Vietnamese tourism map.

An outstanding characteristic of Hai Phong is the Cat Ba Archipelago, which was recognized by UNESCO on September 16, 2023 as an interprovincial world natural heritage. This recognition not only means an upgrading from the international position of the region, but also promotes tourist development and the creation of a strong international tourism brand. According to vietnam.vn the city aims to make tourism one of the three economic columns.

tourist infrastructure and offers

In order to increase the tourist attraction, Hai Phong vigorously invests in the development of the infrastructure. This includes modern transport connections and technical facilities that are considered essential for the growth of tourism. CAT BI's international airport in particular has expanded its flight offer and now connects Hai Phong with several major cities, which facilitates access for international tourists. In addition, tourist water routes along the rivers Cam, Lach Tray and Tam Bac are developed to offer a more comprehensive tourist experience.

Another step to diversify the offer is the promotion of railway tourism. The operation of the Hoa Phuong DO train, which has been in operation since May 10, is to attract new visitors. In addition, the city already recorded 7.9 million tourists in 2023, which shows a clear recovery after the Covid 19 pandemic.

variety of tourism experiences

The city of Hai Phong intends not only to strengthen sea and island tourism, but also to promote various other tourism types. These include cultural tourism, community tourism as well as agricultural and rural tourism. Particularly noteworthy is the cruise tourism offer in the Lan Ha Bay, which, in combination with offers in the Viet Hai Dorf, attracts numerous international tourists.

Nevertheless, those responsible face the challenge of reconciling nature conservation and tourism development. Close cooperation between Hai Phong and Quang Ninh is therefore of crucial importance to effectively manage and sustainably use the world heritage. The plans for the development of the city by 2030 with a vision for 2045, which are defined in the strategic decisions of the Politburo, form the basis for these efforts, as well as Sotc.haiphong.gov.vn confirmed.
