This result is a great effort of localities and businesses in the area, and also shows the increase in the number of tourists coming to Quang Ninh after recent major epidemics and natural disasters. In particular, the spring festival season has recorded a large number of visitors to relics in all regions of the province. At major relics such as Yen Tu, Cua Ong, Bach Dang... the number of visitors can reach tens of thousands on peak days. In particular, the event of welcoming and displaying the relics of Buddha Shakyamuni at Yen Tu took place for less than 4 days at the end of May, helping Yen Tu attract over 1 million people and tourists to worship and worship Buddha.
Summer tourist season is the peak tourist season of the province. Many localities and businesses have launched attractive programs and products to attract tourists.
