Quang Binh province leaders said they will launch many new tourism products in 2017, such as building products related to the blockbuster movie Kong: Skull Island, which was filmed in the province in February, and exploiting new caves in 2016.
In addition, to increase international visitors to the cave kingdom, Quang Binh province promoted destinations on TripAdvisor for 2 years, opened 2 more domestic flights to Cam Ranh and Cat Bi and a number of international flights in the form of charter flights.
In 2016, the number of tourists to Quang Binh reached 2 million, down 30% compared to last year, and total tourism revenue also decreased by 30% compared to the same period. The impact of the marine environmental incident in 4 central provinces caused the Quang Binh tourism industry to lose nearly 1,800 billion VND.
