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

Hai Phong, an up-and-coming city in Vietnam, presents itself as an attractive location for tourism. The city benefits from rich and diverse tourism resources, both natural and cultural. A crucial step in Hai Phong's strategic development is Politburo Resolution 45-NQ/TW, which aims to develop the Cat Ba and Do Son areas as international tourist centers. This will be supported by significant measures to promote tourism and could position the city as a major player on the Vietnamese tourism map.

A prominent feature of Hai Phong is the Cat Ba Archipelago, which was recognized by UNESCO as an Interprovincial World Heritage Site on September 16, 2023. This recognition not only means an upgrade of the region's international position, but also promotes tourism development and the creation of a strong international tourism brand.

Tourist infrastructure and offers

To increase its tourist appeal, Hai Phong is investing heavily in infrastructure development. This includes modern transport connections and technical facilities, which are seen as essential for the growth of tourism. In particular, Cat Bi International Airport has expanded its flight offerings and now connects Hai Phong with several major cities, facilitating access for international tourists. In addition, tourist water routes will be developed along the Cam, Lach Tray and Tam Bac rivers to provide a more comprehensive tourist experience.

Another step towards diversifying the offer is the promotion of railway tourism. The operation of the Hoa Phuong Do train, which has been operating since May 10, is expected to attract new visitors. In addition, the city already recorded 7.9 million tourists in 2023, showing a clear recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Diversity of tourism experiences

Hai Phong City intends to not only strengthen maritime and island tourism, but also promote various other types of tourism. These include cultural tourism, community tourism and agricultural and rural tourism. Particularly worth mentioning is the cruise tourism offer in Lan Ha Bay, which, in combination with offers in Viet Hai Village, attracts numerous international tourists.

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