According to the plan, the group boarded the ship at Ha Long International Passenger Port, Bai Chay ward to visit Ha Long Bay, from about 10 or 11 a.m. to 2 or 3 p.m. the same day.
This tourist group's tour of Ha Long Bay is on tour route number 1, including the following points: Thien Cung cave - Dau Go cave - Cho Da island - Dinh Huong island - Ba Hang area - Trong Mai island and back. to Ha Long International Passenger Port.
Ticket price for sightseeing route number 1 is 250,000 VND/person/turn. Thus, with about 5,000 Indian tourists visiting Ha Long Bay, the total amount spent on tickets is about 1.25 billion VND.
In addition, the port pass fee is 60,000 VND/person/turn and boat rental fee (depending on the contract between the tour company representative and the shipping company).
According to the plan, this group of tourists both visited and had lunch on the ship. It is known that the current affordable price is from 200,000 - 300,000 VND/person/meal. However, this is a high-end customer line, the meals are ordered and prepared at a reputable restaurant on shore so the price will be different.
According to the units involved in preparing to welcome this group of guests, about 5,000 guests will be divided into many smaller groups and take turns arriving in Ha Long from August 29 to September 3, so it will not put too much pressure on the reception work.
However, the busiest day is August 29, with nearly 1,400 passengers, about 28 large passenger cars are needed and it will be quite difficult to regulate traffic on the way to Ha Long International Passenger Port. It is expected to mobilize about 33 cruise ships at the same time to serve the above number of guests on August 29.
It is known that this group of guests are all employees of a large Indian pharmaceutical company with factories and branches in India and some other countries. The owner of this company is one of India's billionaires.
Ha Long was chosen as one of the group's three stops, besides Hanoi and Ninh Binh.
However, this group of about 5,000 people is only in Hanoi and departs from here to visit Ha Long, Ninh Binh and then return to Hanoi during the day.
The hotel system in Ha Long has enough quantity and quality to welcome several thousand guests at the same time, but because this group of tourists is too large and from many countries flying to Hanoi, it is arranged in the capital for convenience. transportation from the airport to the hotel and vice versa. At the same time, due to the large number, if you stay in the same place every day, it will take a lot of time to check-in and check-out of the hotel.
This is the largest and highest quality group of Indian visitors ever to Quang Ninh.
