Mong Cai Border Gate at Quang Ninh Province experienced a busy Tet Holiday as Vietnam welcomed a surge in Chinese tourists.
Mong Cai City Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism reported that on the first day of lunar calendar, it welcomed over 3,000 Chinese tourists and this number reached 8,000 on the second day and 6,500 on the third day. It is predicted that the number of tourist would continue to increase in coming days.
China is Vietnam’s biggest customer. Large numbers of Chinese tourists like to visit Danang and Nha Trang.
Authorities in Quang Ninh Province hope to welcome eight million domestic and international arrivals and VND8trn in revenue this year.
The surge in tourist numbers has been attributed to several promotion methods. Last year, the self-drive tourist cars pilot programme which enabled tourists to travel between Mong Cai and the Chinese city of Dong Xing City through the Mong Cai Border Gate was approved by prime minister.
Mong Cai’s authorities are exploring how to boost tourist co-operation with Dong Xing particularly in the Tra Co area and China’s Bailang Tan region.
