Faced with the increasing number of people entering and exiting the country, to be ready to welcome Chinese tourists, especially during the upcoming peak season, businesses in the service supply chain from travel agencies, restaurants, hotels, and destinations in the province have proactively upgraded their facilities, ensuring conditions for serving tourists; strengthening connections to create a diverse chain of experiences such as combining relaxation with exploring nature, culture, cuisine or connecting many destinations in one journey.

Ms. Nguyen Thu Huong, Vice Chairwoman of Mong Cai City People's Committee, said that the locality requested the Quang Ninh Department of Tourism to organize a recruitment council and issue tour guide cards by the end of March.

In addition, in response to the requirement to conduct SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing for people leaving for China, Mong Cai City has requested that authorities arrange adequate medical supplies to meet the needs of residents and tourists.
