Hai Phong is positioning itself as a tourism hub by developing a comprehensive strategy focused on premium, environmentally conscious travel experiences. The approach integrates smart technology, sustainability principles, and creative offerings that showcase the city's distinctive cultural identity while generating substantial economic returns.
The coastal city is capitalizing on its substantial natural advantages, including extensive marine and island resources alongside significant cultural assets. By combining these elements through carefully curated tourism products, Hai Phong aims to differentiate itself in a competitive regional market and appeal to discerning travelers seeking authentic experiences.
The initiative reflects broader economic dynamism in the city. Recent figures show Hai Phong port handled 182.4 million tonnes of cargo, positioning the city well to meet its 2026 development targets. This infrastructure capacity provides a foundation for integrated tourism and trade operations.
The strategy encompasses institutional reforms aimed at supporting tourism development. Recent initiatives include the launch of new cooperative models at major foreign direct investment enterprises and strengthened oversight of foreign workforce management, creating a more structured environment for business operations and visitor services.
