Cua Lo Sea Tourism Festival 2025 officially opened on April 19 with a series of rich activities, from culture, sports to promoting typical products.
After the opening ceremony, street art programs, cultural festivals, "Youth Dance" festivals, beach sports tournaments, OCOP fairs... will be held throughout the weekend at many locations, including VinWonder Cua Hoi and walking streets every weekend.
Mr. Tran Ngoc Tu - Chairman of Vinh City People's Committee - said that the highlight this year is 4 completely free services deployed by Vinh city including: showers, parking, toilets and check-in locations - bringing a convenient and friendly experience to tourists.
According to Mr. Tran Ngoc Tu, the city is very determined in preparing for this year's tourism season. The focus is on renovating the area east of Binh Minh road and renovating the infrastructure, creating a spacious and modern appearance for the coastal city.
Mr. Nguyen Quang Minh (47 years old, from Vinh City) shared: "My whole family is in Hanoi, but every summer we go to Cua Lo on the occasion of April 30 - May 1 to visit our hometown and relax. This year, Cua Lo has had strong changes and incentives for tourists. Vinh City has had strong solutions to make Cua Lo beach more beautiful, cleaner, friendlier and more civilized. I believe that this year the number of tourists to Cua Lo will increase".
Notably, on the opening day of the Cua Lo beach tourism festival in 2025 held on April 19, some tourists reported the situation of "ripping off" parking fees, some places collecting up to 80,000 VND/time trip.
Nghi Huong ward authorities and police forces have quickly inspected and strictly handled illegal vehicle parking, creating consensus and support from people and tourists, strengthening trust in a transparent and disciplined tourism environment.
Previously, Vinh city launched a communication campaign to promote tourism, while building a civilized code of conduct to spread the image of "venh people are friendly and hospitable". The work of checking price listings, ensuring food hygiene, safety, environment and traffic safety is given special attention.
In 2025, the city aims to welcome 6.9 million visitors, including 3.2 million overnight visitors and 130,000 international visitors. Tourism revenue is expected to reach VND 7,000 billion, contributing to creating jobs for 11,000 local workers.
The synchronization of solutions from urban beautification, free services to tighten management and improve service quality are clear efforts to demonstrate the determination to build the image of civilized and friendly Cua Lo tourism - worthy of being a leading resort destination in the North Central region.
