According to Bui Van Khang, vice chairman of the provincial administration, Quang Ninh has assigned the provincial Department of Tourism to work alongside travel agencies and border guard forces to know the exact number of Chinese tourists entering and leaving through border gates.

Regarding measures to prevent potential spread of the COVID-19 pandemic as the province welcomes the return of Chinese tourists, Nguyen Trong Dien, director of the provincial Health Department, noted that international medical quarantines will be deployed for import-export activities. 

Most notably, he stressed that the province only requires COVID-19 testing for those who show symptoms and are suspected of having the virus.

For those who have no symptoms, immigration procedures will be carried out as usual.

Furthermore, the health sector continues to urge local people to be vaccinated, noting that it is the most effective way to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Quang Ninh plans to welcome 12.5 million visitors and earn a revenue of VND30,000 billion in 2023.
