Vietnam’s biggest off-road automobile race, the Ha Long Challenge
2012, officially kicked off at the Tuan Chau resort in the northern province of
Quang Ninh on June 2.
While some foreigners left Vietnam for romantic beaches in
Thailand or Bali during the lunar New Year holiday, many stayed in the country
to welcome the traditional Tet.
All domestic and foreign tourists will have the chance to visit
Ha Long Bay without fees during the traditional Lunar New Year festival (Tet)
from January 23 to February 5.
Entry to all sites at Ha Long Bay in the northern province of
Quang Ninh will be free of charge during the lunar New Year (Tet) holiday, from
Jan. 23 to Feb. 5, the provincial People’s Committee said on Jan. 20.
Local tourism authorities have called for the northern province
of Quang Ninh to postpone their anticipated 50%-100% ticket price increase for
tourists visiting Halong Bay.
Since the tourist attraction was nominated as one of the temporary seven new wonders of the world, the price increase has been on the cards.

The Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Association has proposed a recent
increase in admission fees at the world famous Ha Long Bay be halted, as it is
upsetting tourists and travel firms alike.
The decision to increase the price of the excursion ticket to Ha
Long Bay, commencing from December 1, just a couple of weeks after Ha Long Bay
was recognized as one of the seven natural wonders, has surprised travelers.
The UNESCO World Natural Heritage Ha Long Bay in the northen
province of Quang Ninh, has been included in the 2011 list of the world’s best
destinations for hotels, family vacations, beaches, and food by the prestigious
online travel website Tripadvisor.
