Creating momentum for Hai Phong tourism to take off

The project is built on a comprehensive assessment of potential, advantages, and current development status, thereby identifying specific mechanisms and solutions to turn tourism into a spearhead economic sector.

Hai Phong has significant potential and advantages for tourism development. Its terrain, geomorphology, and geology feature hills, plains, and seas that both adjoin and intersperse, connected by a dense river system... These form the foundation for unique, distinctive tourism resources of Hai Phong City within the Red River Delta tourism region and the whole country.

Along with its role as the cradle of island and sea culture, Hai Phong preserves many outstanding heritages of the Red River civilization, with rich cuisine and a unique heritage city. The city boasts four world-recognized heritages including Cat Ba Archipelago, Con Son - Kiep Bac - Thanh Mai - Kinh Chu - Nham Duong complex, Ca Tru (ceremonial singing), and Mother Goddess worship.

These core elements of geography and culture provide a crucial premise for Hai Phong to form and develop flagship tourism products with distinct characteristics and high competitiveness. This is the prerequisite for Hai Phong to develop tourism as a spearhead economic sector.

Building the overall project for Hai Phong City Tourism Development until 2030, with orientation to 2045, will consolidate the basic foundation and unify tourism development goals and contents across both eastern and western areas of the city.

The overarching orientation for Hai Phong tourism development is ‘Distinctive products - Professional services - Convenient, simple procedures - Competitive prices - Clean, beautiful hygiene environment - Safe, civilized, friendly destination’. With determination from relevant sectors and units, the city is step by step realizing the aspiration to turn tourism into a spearhead economic sector and a major international tourism center.
