(VOVWORLD) - 300 representatives of tourism companies on Wednesday agreed to reduce prices by 30 to 50% and introduce new products to lure tourists to the northern province of Quang Ninh as the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.
 Quang Ninh authorities and travel companies launch a tourism promotion campaign on May 13, 2020. |
Nguyen Thi Truc, deputy chief of an alliance in charge of promoting Quang Ninh tourism, said: “We offer promotions for three groups of visitors: those who book a full 3-days-2-nights package including pick-up fee, those who travel to Ha Long on their own, and those who book transportation and accommodation in Ha Long. We are promoting Yen Tu mountain, over-night cruises, and hot mineral springs in Cam Pha district as the highlights of this campaign.”
According to Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dang Huy Hau, tourism is a spearhead economic sector in Quang Ninh which boasts Ha Long Bay, a world heritage site. Post-pandemic revival requires travel agencies to carry out promotion campaign.
He told VOV: “To restart tourism, we will reduce our prices, but not the quality of our services. We expect more visitors this summer as people resume their normal life and the pandemic becomes a thing of the past.”
