Quang Ninh is gloomy for tourists on weekends even though it is ‘open’

Despite being in a new normal state, the number of tourists coming to Quang Ninh at weekends is still average, with no sudden change.
Today (April 10), at key locations of Ha Long City, Quang Ninh, the number of visitors is low even on weekends.

Where there is promotion and discount policy, the number of tourists, where there is no one, is a reality in this tourist land. At Hon Gai international passenger ship port, the cruise ship fleet was anchored dormant, with no sign of returning to operation. The port is considered to be large and qualified, but the number of statues of ships is anchored tightly because there are no passengers. To reduce costs, many boat owners share money to hire a custodian. Better yet, Tuan Chau international cruise ship port today welcomed nearly 100 tourists, mainly Hanoi and neighboring provinces. Here, from 9am to the beginning of the afternoon, a number of families and groups of tourists come to the port and buy tickets to arrange a graft boat trip. Only a few cruise ships depart for tourists to visit lines 1 and 2. According to the management board of Ha Long Bay, since March 6 when Quang Ninh’s tourist attractions are active again, the peak day also only about 500 guests, on weekdays it is about 100 guests. Revenue from the sale of travel tickets to Ha Long Bay since the beginning of the year has not reached 3 billion VND. Due to the small number of passengers, most boat owners choose to leave the boat at the pier because it is very costly to operate a ship. On the other hand, the number of service staff on board had previously resigned and changed jobs, so it was difficult to call back to work. Human resources serving on board are currently also a difficult problem for Quang Ninh tourism. Also in Sun Park, although in the time of preferential prices, but on the weekends, visitors are just accompanying their families here to have fun. Some shops in the old town area are also scrambling to clean up for resale. “My restaurant has just reopened for a few days, even a large restaurant like this but only has 4 staff working to reduce costs, from morning until now my restaurant has only 1 guest table”, Ms. Nguyen Thi Duong (owner of Hai Duong restaurant, Vuon Dao street) said boredly. According to the director of the Department of Tourism of Quang Ninh Pham Ngoc Thuy, since the outbreak of Covid-19 has resurfaced, most tourists have a psychology of fear so they are still not assured to travel. With this mentality, instead of choosing Quang Ninh, tourists change direction. “Travel companies need to have combo packages, reduce prices to the level where people can spend the cost to visit, also from here, must rebuild demand stimulus programs, step by step influencing psychology for everyone to visit. people know that Quang Ninh is now a safe destination, “said Thuy.

Hon Gai international passenger ship port is no longer bustling The waiting area in the station was sprawled with a few people The cruise ship is anchored in the wharf area No more crowded tourists on board Most boat owners choose to moor because operating a ship takes a lot of money Many ship owners share money to hire 1 ship keeper Tuan Chau international cruise ship port terminal has a similar fate Visitors take the grafted train to have enough seats on 1 train Strabismus visitors to the Sun Park on weekends People are still getting their temperature before entering the play area People clean up the shop to prepare to welcome guests The restaurant staff at Vuon Dao Street played all day because there were no customers
