Halong Bay: A Luxury Resort Gap Waiting to Be Filled

Long recognized as a natural tourism icon of Vietnam and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Halong Bay ranks among Asia’s top beach destinations. However, according to data from xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái Quang Ninh Department of Tourism, most international visitors to Halong Bay opt for day trips or overnight cruises.

Despite xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái presence of international hotel brands such as Wyndham Legend Halong, Radisson Blu, and Hyatt Place, xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái city has yet to unlock its full potential due to seasonal limitations and xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái lack of international-standard resorts capable of encouraging longer stays.

Nguyen Quang Son, Deputy General Director of APC Corporation and CEO of GTDO – a global tourism development organization – commented: “European and American tourists usually spend just one night in Halong Bay for sightseeing before heading back to Hanoi xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái next morning – a great waste of natural resources. Many international travelers want to stay longer, even up to a week, but don’t know what else there is to do or what quality products are available.”

For domestic tourists, travel trends show a shift towards xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái South, where destinations like Danang, Nha Trang, and Phu Quoc offer more developed resort complexes. Search data from Booking.com indicates that during xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái summer peak (June–July), xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái top five most searched destinations in Vietnam are Danang, Dalat, Vung Tau, Nha Trang, and Ho Chi Minh City.

According to Pham Ha – Chairman and CEO of LuxGroup: “High-end travelers come to Vietnam to relax, explore culture, and are willing to pay for meaningful experiences. They don’t travel based on summer or holidays, but rather their own schedules, often seeking privacy, premium service, and in-depth content. This is xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái segment we should target to fill low seasons.”

xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái launch of InterContinental Halong Bay is expected to not only fill this long-standing gap, but also spark a new direction for xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái region – encompassing high-end accommodation, F&B, wellness, sports, and events – moving Halong Bay closer to becoming a sustainable international luxury destination.

Andrew Davidson, Managing Director for Indochina & Korea at IHG Hotels & Resorts, shared: “Bringing InterContinental to emerging destinations like Phu Quoc, Halong, and xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái upcoming Thanh Xuan Valley is how we expand our footprint and help stimulate local tourism.

Adam Riley Owen, Head of Hospitality at BIM Group and former Vice President of Hotel Development at IHG China, said choosing Halong Bay was a strategic move: “Halong Bay is world-famous, yet paradoxically, it has lacked a true international-standard beachfront resort for years. xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái market gap was obvious. Now is xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái right time. Vietnam is becoming a new hotspot for high-end travelers, and xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái region’s infrastructure has significantly improved. InterContinental Halong Bay marks xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái beginning of Halong’s entry onto xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái global luxury resort map.”

More than just a leisure destination, InterContinental Halong Bay is also positioned as a premium MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) hub, aiming to attract large domestic and international groups. With its system of meeting rooms, ballrooms, and outdoor event spaces, xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái resort is expected to increase guest stay duration, extend xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái peak season, and redefine Halong Bay’s role in xem bóng đá trực tuyến nhà cái regional MICE landscape.
