Notably, the Resolution adds fees for visiting scenic spots for 3 tours on Ha Long Bay for tourists traveling on tourist boats who do not stay overnight.
Of these, there are 2 new routes and one route that has been put into service for tourists on restaurant ships but has not yet collected tolls.
The remaining 5 routes still have the same fares.
Specific new additional fees are as follows:
Ha Long 6 Bay Journey (new journey): Ship port - Hon Chan Voi - Ba Cua cape - Tung Lam Island - Hon Cau Bai (the end point of the journey adjacent to Gia Luan, Lan Ha Bay, Hai Phong) or vice versa, with a fee of 150,000 VND/person/trip.
Ha Long Bay 7 Journey (new journey): Tourists are allowed to visit Ha Long Bay on the routes of Ha Long Bay 1 + Ha Long Bay 2 + Ha Long Bay 3 + Ha Long Bay 4, with a fee of 600,000 VND/person. This is also the highest tour fee in Ha Long Bay for tourists who do not stay overnight on the bay.
Ha Long Bay Journey 6: Tuan Chau Passenger Port - Ha Long International Passenger Port - South of the White Bridge area. This is a route running along the coast of Ha Long City and has been serving tourists for many years on restaurant ships but has not yet collected tolls.
