The Hai Phong People’s Committee on March 31 held a meeting to inaugurate the Cat Ba tourism season.
Deputy Chairman of the Committee Nguyen Van Thanh affirmed that the attractive Cat Ba Island lures many tourists at home and abroad. Ca Ba is also one of the five sea conservation sites of Vietnam and has sufficient factors to build geological park.

Also on the occasion, the authority called on the local people and tourists to vote for Ha Long Bay to become one of the seven world wonders. More than 1,000 people, including 160 foreigners have voted for Ha Long Bay on the day.
