A conference promoting investment in tourism and trade, particularly the UNESCO-recognised World Natural Heritage of Ha Long Bay, will be held.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors in and outside the country are expected to join the three-day event, which is expected to boost trade and tourism between Vietnamese and Japanese firms, and between Quang Ninh and Japanese localities in particular.
