With the trend of safe tourism and complete experiences, Thanh Hoa has been and is a destination chosen by many tourists. Especially, this summer with many new destinations being put into operation, tourists expect these to be vibrant destinations, contributing to eliminating seasonality, bringing Thanh Hoa tourism to new heights.

Luxurious and colorful space at Ibiza restaurant (Flamingo Ibiza Hai Tien).

Recently, Flamingo Group has officially launched Flamingo Ibiza Hai Tien City Commercial and Beach Tourism Street (Hoang Hoa), with the appearance of a luxurious and unique resort complex with many high-class services, appearing for the first time in Thanh Hoa. Flamingo Ibiza Hai Tien is invested in construction with 3 large subdivisions, providing 999 check-in points, more than 600 resort rooms, nearly 600 shophouse and mini hotel products. It also offers visitors many amenities and services, notably the Ibiza restaurant, the fairytale ice cream world Lala Ice Cream, the light maze, the Lala Kingdom amusement park, the Lalamingo check-in park, the Spa & Beauty health care system and the Japanese-style hot mineral bath complex Onsen, the infinity pool, the vibrant entertainment space by the beach... All designs bring a fresh, youthful look, Flamingo Ibiza Hai Tien has been and is promising to become a dynamic, bustling destination all four seasons, contributing to bringing a new step forward for Thanh Hoa's sea tourism.

Attending the launch event of Flamingo Ibiza Hai Tien City (May 4), tourist Tran Thu Huong (Ninh Binh) said: “Perhaps not only me but most people when coming here feel extremely excited and enthusiastic about the creative and new check-in spaces and professional tourism services. We know that right after the launch ceremony of Flamingo Ibiza Hai Tien City, the Ibiza Beach Fest event series will continue to be held here, with many activities such as street food festival, weekend EDM festival, beer & beach festival... We believe that these events will bring visitors meaningful and complete vacations and Hai Tien beach tourism will not only be the destination of most tourists from the northern provinces but also attract a large number of domestic and international visitors”.

Expressing satisfaction with the destination, Ms. Tran Thu Huong and some members of the delegation said that Hai Tien beach tourism is inherently attractive to tourists because of its open, fresh space, so the destination needs to maintain a green, clean, and beautiful environment and landscape. At the same time, they hope to have more suitable beach entertainment activities to bring meaningful community connection spaces to locals and tourists. Along with that, it is necessary to pay attention to building preferential policies so that a large number of tourists and local people can participate in experiencing a variety of services during the initial period of operation.

In Sam Son City, the most anticipated and favorite new destination is Sun World Park, which promises to be the most exciting "cooling off" place this summer. In the first phase of its launch, Sun World Sam Son will introduce game complexes at Sam Son Water Park, including 14 water game complexes, with 41 games, divided into 3 sub-areas: for all ages; for families and children; thrilling games. Among them, there are complexes and slides that appear for the first time and are the most modern in Asia such as: "Rage Python" - the world's first new generation energy river for all ages (PowerRIVER Generation 2); "Conquer the monster" - the first water castle complex for children (KIDZ Adventure Tower) in Asia; Children's game complex "Children's Wharf" with the first "Kidz TornadoWAVE" game in Asia - Pacific; "Tornado Abyss" game complex with the first thrilling game "Swicthback TornadoWAVE" in Asia - Pacific...

Some travel agencies said that in the context of airfares showing no signs of cooling down as at present, Sam Son Beach Urban Tourism Area will certainly be one of the bright spots of tourism in the North. Director of Huong Viet Travel Gold Investment Company Limited (Thanh Hoa City) Le Thi Huong said: “Right after Sun World Sam Son officially opened ticket sales for the water park, it contributed to increasing the heat of summer tourism in Thanh Hoa. Through a survey of customer needs, most tourists expect to have interesting and different experiences when coming here. In particular, tourists from Thanh Hoa have responded very positively when there are incentives exclusively for locals when buying tickets to experience games at Sam Son Water Park. Accordingly, some tour programs to Thanh Hoa this summer will be adjusted to increase the number of days of stay and hope to be welcomed by tourists”.

However, in the early days of operation and exploitation, some tourists said that when consulting on using services at Sam Son Water Park, travel agencies need to combine popularizing some regulations of the park for tourists to grasp, bringing the best experience for tourists when using the service.

It can be said that what makes a tourist remember most about a new destination and promise to return is the place that offers a complete vacation, with different and quality experiences. It is the expectation and trust of tourists about new destinations that is an opportunity for Thanh Hoa tourism to accelerate its development, at the same time setting inevitable requirements for destinations in terms of service quality, safety, security and order so that every new experience becomes complete and worthy.
