Ha Long city welcoming tourists back

Ha Long Bay in the northern province of Quang Ninh, one of the localities hardest hit by Typhoon Yagi, officially resumed normal operation of tourist boats on September 13, nearly a week after being ravaged by the typhoon.

Tourism activities have gradually returned to normal in Ha Long thanks to efforts by the local authorities and residents during a 7-day campaign to address the aftermaths of the typhoon.

Tourist boats have been maintained and repaired to ensure safety standards for restoring operations as soon as possible. Nearly all the 80 vessels of this kind are ready to welcome guests again starting September 13.

After the super storm, many groups have chosen Ha Long as their destination, especially international tourists. The Ha Long international passenger port reopened to welcome international visitors to the bay from September 10.

On September 12, the Ha Long City Party Committee met with representatives from local businesses, including those in the tourism sector, to discuss solutions for addressing difficulties and helping the sector soon recover./.
