Quang Ninh is aiming for high-class night tourism experiences to promote the night economy - a strength and also one of the tourism development orientations of the province.

With its existing potential in infrastructure and tourism, Quang Ninh is currently focusing on the night-time economy to maximize these advantages.

The development of the night economy not only promotes shopping and spending of tourists but also opens up opportunities to position the Quang Ninh brand as the center of the night economy in the region.

According to many tourists, in addition to the attraction of Ha Long Bay , beautiful islands and beaches, walking on the walking street, night market with bright lights, enjoying countless delicious street food or exploring diverse cultural activities... are also extremely unique and new experiences for tourists.

For example, the Halong Marina Street Fest night walking street (Bai Hoat ward) is different from simple night markets because it is planned as an "open festival", with an international walking street style with many amenities and diverse experiences for all ages.

Every week, Halong Marina Street Fest night walking street has a fresh, attractive theme and is full of gifts for attendees.

The festival space is divided into many unique zones, such as: 100 food stalls, more than 2,000m2 for children to play, daily golden hour promotions at the shopping area, check-in with 3D paintings... Children, young people or multi-generational families can easily find their own joy in the space of this night street festival.

A British tourist said that he was very satisfied with many traditional Vietnamese dishes and seafood from Quang Ninh. However, what made this tourist even more excited was the unexpected experience of the vibrant festival space at the Halong Marina Street Fest night walking street.

According to the organizer of the night walking street, after 3 days of opening (July 10-12), the Halong Marina Street Fest night walking street attracted over 12,000 visitors, promising to become an attractive destination, contributing to creating excitement and promoting the night economy in Quang Ninh.

BIM Group - the investor of the night walking street said that developing tourism products, especially night economic products, is one of the group's orientations to keep up with the trend of sustainable urban development. When putting into operation the Halong Marina Street Fest night street, the Group will continue to work with partners, attracting more attractive booths and services to serve the people and tourists.

In the near future, the investor of the night walking street will continue to research new products, including a large-scale, spectacular water music show scheduled to launch next September.

Not only Bim Group, but also large corporations are making efforts to invest in many night-time economic products in Quang Ninh. In particular, Ha Long Sun Limited Liability Company (Sun Group) recently organized an artistic fireworks display at the beach area of Sun Carnival Square, Fireworks Bay.

Accordingly, fireworks will be launched every week at 9:30 p.m., from now until September 2, 2025.

In particular, not only can visitors watch fireworks from the viewing points on the shore, they can choose a more special way to enjoy fireworks with a sumptuous dinner right in the area of Ha Long International Passenger Port or on cruise ships.

In addition, the Vui-Fest night market opposite the fireworks area, with more than 30 stalls offering culinary experiences, souvenirs, drinks, refreshment stalls and a drinking game area, will also bring visitors extremely memorable experiences.

Recognizing the importance of culture in tourism, in recent years in Quang Ninh there have been many music shows from small to large, with many famous singers and artists, held at many locations in the province. With the effort to develop, innovate and create, the music nights have contributed to increasing the night tourism experience, attracting tourists to Quang Ninh.

For example, in early June, the live performance show combined with cuisine "Finding the Pearl" was launched by Asia Luxury Cruise Group Joint Stock Company at Ngoc Rong Cave (or Bat Cave) in Vung Duc Historical and Scenic Area, Cam Pha Ward. With the application of multimedia technology combined with performing arts, culinary quintessence, and honoring local culture, this show has become a special highlight attracting tourists.

Recently, at Tuan Chau International Passenger Port, Ha Long Tourist Boat Association has also put into operation the Night Cruise Street experience with operating hours from 5-11pm every day.

According to the schedule, the cruise departs from Tuan Chau International Passenger Port, taking visitors on the 8th sightseeing tour on Ha Long Bay announced by Quang Ninh province in 2024 (Tuan Chau International Passenger Port - Ha Long International Passenger Port - Nam Cau Trang Port). With this itinerary, visitors will be able to explore Ha Long at night, admire famous landmarks and structures, and enjoy unique cultural, artistic and culinary spaces right on the cruise.

It can be said that Quang Ninh tourism industry is currently receiving a strong "wave" of investment from large corporations and enterprises, especially in night-time economic products. This is a good sign, signaling the revival of the tourism industry in this province.

According to experts, the night-time economy can account for up to 70% of tourism revenue. Therefore, developing the night-time economy helps to maximize tourism advantages, meet the trends and needs of tourists, help retain tourists longer and maximize profits for the tourism industry.

In addition, "opening up" the night-time economy is also considered a "gold mine" for the tourism industry, contributing to economic growth, while also expecting to turn Quang Ninh into a modern service and industrial province by 2030.

In order to fully exploit the potential and develop the night-time economy, the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province approved the Pilot Project of the night-time economic development model in Quang Ninh province for the period 2023-2025 in September 2023. The project aims to exploit the potential of night-time economic development to maximize new economic development opportunities, improve people's income and living standards. This is a great opportunity to promote night-time economic development in Quang Ninh.
