Ha Long Bay Attracts Record No. of Tourists During Holidays

QUANG NINH, May 2 Asia Pulse - A record number of over 10,000 tourists, 80 per cent of them foreigners, visit Ha Long Bay during these holidays.

The sharp increase was attributed to the daily resumption of sea routes to Ha Long Bay from China, including Beihai-Ha Long and the Hainan-Ha Long links. Furthermore, a route from Hong Kong to Ha Long, was sailed weekly.

Malaysia's Star Cruises also brings visitors to Ha Long every week.

On April 29, Ha Long Bay received three ships, Super Star Gemini, Super Star Virgo of the Star Cruises and Minh Hoa Cong Chua 2 from Beihai, with over 4,000 foreign holidaymakers.

Ha Long Bay has been topping the list of candidates for the worlds seven natural wonders poll at www.new7wonders.com.
