Leaders of the northern province of Quang Ninh are taking steps to host a week-long tourism festival, named Halong – Natural Wonder of the World, beginning on April 25.
The annual event, which began in 2003, honours the beauty of Halong Bay and its surroundings.
This year the festival will promote the bay as a serious contender in the New Natural Wonders of the World contest.
Local and international art troupes from China, the Republic of Korea, Thailand and Laos are expected to perform during the festival, which is scheduled to attract 15, 000 tourists a day.
The event will be staged at the Bai Chay Ferry, Bai Chay Bridge and Cua Luc Bay and other nearby areas.
Lion dances, a photography and painting exhibition on Halong Bay, a carnival festival on the water, a beauty contest and fireworks show are part of the festivities, as well as food and drink exhibitions.
Nhu Thi Hong Lien, vice chairwoman of Quang Ninh Province People’s Committee, said the festival would be free to everyone.
At the festival, visitors can submit votes in the online Natural Wonders contest for Halong Bay through a wireless connection to the Internet on boats and luxury hotels, said head of Halong Bay management board Ngo Hung.
Along with the festival, a Halong international trading fair will open on the same day, exhibiting 400 booths, 150 of them foreign-owned. Showcased will be seafood products, wine and handicrafts.
Vietnamese handicraft villages will display and sell their products, including Bat Trang ceramics, Ha Dong silk, ruou can (a liquor made by an ethnic minority group from Hoa Binh Province), and tea from Thai Nguyen Province.
