Quy Nhon – A must-visit summer destination

“On weekends, it is very difficult to book a hotel room in Quy Nhon. I had to change the hotel room twice in 3 days as rooms were booked by tourists a month earlier,” said Mr. Ho The, an office worker who often goes on business to Quy Nhon. Tourists now choose Quy Nhon as a new tourist destination when Phu Quoc and Nha Trang have become boringly familiar to them.

The second time travelling to Quy Nhon, Ms. Anh Tuyet from HCMC exclaimed that the coastal city is still as beautiful as her first impression. The difference that makes new attraction for the coastal city is that the service experiences have become more multicolored. “Night activities are richer, beach sports are more diverse. There are modern water music performances and elite Binh Dinh martial arts performances on Hai Giang peninsula at the weekend,” said Ms. Tuyet.

Observations from tourists will make it easier to understand why Quy Nhon – Binh Dinh is always among the localities with the fastest tourism recovery after social distancing. Statistics from the Binh Dinh Department of Tourism show that most resorts and luxury hotels in Quy Nhon City recorded room occupancy of up to 90-100% during the holidays earlier this year. In the first quarter of 2022, the province welcomed nearly one million visitors, an increase of 23.9% against the same period in 2021, surpassing other famous tourism destinations.

Besides famous natural destinations, in order to attract tourists, Binh Dinh Province plans to organize a series of exciting, large-scale activities to attract tourists from all over the country. Enterprises such as Hung Thinh Corporation are joining hands in order to make Quy Nhon become a destination of the most attractive events  in the country.

For example, from July 16 to August 13, 2022, Quy Nhon will host the final round of Miss World Vietnam 2022 for the first time, which is expected to woo tens of thousands of tourists to the coastal city. Miss World Vietnam 2022 has officially announced MerryLand Quy Nhon – a world-class smart commercial tourism peninsula city project located in Hai Giang – is a place to host the national final round.

Nearly 30 days in a row, at MerryLand Quy Nhon, there will be a series of attractive activities such as Sports Beauty, Head to Head Challenge, Music Festival & Sea Beauties, and Vietnam Beauty Fashion Fest among others.

Earlier, Binh Dinh Province opened Quy Nhon Sea Tourism Festival 2022 with the theme “Quy Nhon – Sea Paradise” going on throughout the summer. MerryLand Quy Nhon Running Prize on April 30 attracted over 3,000 families inside and outside the province to participate. The number of visitors to Quy Nhon continued to increase impressively through VnExpress Marathon Sparkling Quy Nhon Running Prize from June 11 to June 12 with over 10,000 runners and tens of thousands of visitors arriving in the coastal city on this occasion.

They all resonate and make Quy Nhon become the hottest destination on the 2022 summer tourist map.
