Potential for tourism development
Ha Long Bay has many favorable conditions for tourism development and currently offers various kinds of tourism, such as sightseeing, bathing, research and water sports. In the future Quang Ninh Tourism will develop new and attractive types of tourism and new resorts. It is forecast that Quang Ninh will become the biggest tourist destination in Vietnam by 2010.
Ha Long is a young city where urbanization and development in all socio-economic areas are occurring rapidly. These provide a solid basis for tourism development. At present, the City has 300 hotels between one and five star standard. These provide 4,500 rooms, which basically meet current tourist demands. However, recent years have seen an enormous growth in tourism and the growth of visitor volume to Ha Long Bay has been assessed as the fastest in Vietnam. In 1996, Ha Long Bay received only 236,000 arrivals but in 2003 the figure reached 1,306,919. It is forecast that Ha Long Bay will receive between 1.5 - 1.8 million visitors by 2005 and 2.5 - 3 million by 2010.
Potential for marine port and transport development
Ha Long is a protected bay, with smooth waters and light winds. In addition, it has a wide range of natural sea routes and low sedimentation, enabling the creation of large sea-ports such as Cai Lan (in Ha Long) and Cua Ong (in Cam Pha), Mui Chua, Van Gia and Nam Cau Trang. Cai Lan, the largest of these, is a deep-sea port, lying close to the Bai Chay ferry and National High Way No.18A, thus providing favorable conditions for the loading and transporting of commodities. Cai Lan is targeted for completion by 2010, and will be have 7 wharves with a carrying capacity of over 14 million tons, able to receive ships of up to 50,000tons.
Potential for marine resource development
The sea around Quang Ninh has a rich ecosystem with high bio-diversity value and has enormous potential for the exploitation of marine products. It has favorable natural conditions for both fishing and aqua-culture, such as: a good climate, a large tidal area, clean water, rich marine resources in both onshore and offshore fishing grounds, and a diverse species composition, for example grouper, shell, and all kinds of shrimps. The topography also makes aqua-culture by floating cape in Ha Long Bay highly effective.
