Hải Phòng is making tourism a key part of its 2020-25 development strategy, aiming to become a top Vietnamese destination. Its plans include luxury cruise ships at its upgraded port, world-class golf courses, and vibrant food tours showcasing local specialties like crab spring rolls and red noodle crab soup. With international tourist arrivals in Việt Nam rising sharply in early 2024, Hải Phòng is not just seeking to increase visitor numbers but to redefine its global identity by balancing economic growth with cultural and environmental sustainability.
Michael Piro, Co-Founder & CEO of Wink Hotels, said: “In the first half of 2024, Hải Phòng welcomed over 8.8 million international tourists, a 58 per cent increase compared to the same period last year, surpassing the pre-COVID level of 8.5 million visitors. This indicates a positive recovery trend in tourism.”
As Hải Phòng steps into the spotlight, it's not just aiming to boost tourist numbers. The city is crafting a new identity on the global stage, one that balances economic growth with cultural preservation and sustainable tourism. In doing so, Hải Phòng is positioning itself not just as a destination, but as a microcosm of Việt Nam's bright future.
