The issuance and exemption of entrance fees to Ha Long Bay are overseen by the Ha Long Bay Management Board, in coordination with relevant departments, agencies, and localities. Promotional offers include discounted passenger service fees at the port, comprehensive insurance for tourists, and coverage for any unforeseen issues.

Tourism, service, and transportation businesses in the area also coordinate and develop series of events, regional linkages, and tourism products such as cruise tours to admire Ha Long Bay, tours along the reed flower road in Binh Lieu, and pilgrimage tours at the beginning of the year "Returning to the Buddhist Land of Yen Tu" combined with enjoying local specialties and OCOP products...

Previously, Quang Ninh implemented two rounds of tourism stimulus packages totaling 200 billion VND and 300 billion VND, bringing about a resurgence in the province's tourism sector. Statistics from the Department of Tourism show that the total number of tourists visiting the province in 2020 was estimated at 8.8 million, including 536,000 international tourists and over 8.3 million domestic tourists, an increase of 0.6% compared to 2019. Total revenue from tourism was estimated at over 17 trillion VND, a decrease of 30.5% compared to the same period.

The 500 billion VND stimulus package for 2021 continues to focus on the domestic market, with the expectation of creating a "boost" for the province's tourism industry. The goal is to welcome 10 million tourists and achieve total tourism revenue of 20 trillion VND next year.
