Overcoming Typhoon Yagi, Cat Ba is ready to welcome tourists back.

After the recent historic Typhoon Yagi, northern provinces of Vietnam suffered severe damage. Cat Ba - Hai Phong, a tourist city that as directly hit by Typhoon Yagi, endured significant losses.

With strong winds and heavy rainfall, Typhoon Yagi caused severe damage to transportation infrastructure. Many accommodation facilities had their roofs torn off and windows shattered, while signs were blown chaotically across the streets.

Cat Ba experienced power, water, and signal outages across the island for two days following Typhoon Yagi, causing significant difficulties for local residents in their daily lives.

Many hotels suffered severe damage.

However, in the days following the typhoon, local authorities and residents joined forces to restore infrastructure, clean up affected areas, and quickly repair tourism facilities. The piers, docks, and main roads have been cleared and are fully operational, ensuring absolute safety for visitors coming to explore and relax. Electricity, water, and phone signals have also been restored.

Currently, accommodations, hotels, and resorts on Cat Ba Island have promptly repaired their facilities and are ready to serve tourists to the best of their ability. Cruises in Lan Ha Bay are also prepared to welcome guests, and activities such as kayaking and swimming have resumed with unchanged quality. Attractions included in tours have been restored in time to avoid affecting guests' schedules.

Activities in Cat Ba, including the Cat Ba shuttle bus and Lan Ha Bay cruises, have returned to normal operation.

On September 17, tourist Tố Uyên from Hanoi arrived on Cat Ba Island by private car and noted that the weather was quite pleasant with gentle sunshine: "About 50% of the shops have reopened, and there are more options in the central area. I noticed that most of the visitors right now are international tourists, with fewer domestic guests. Some places still look a bit rundown with fallen trees, but overall, I find Cat Ba to be peaceful and pleasant at this time. The Đong Bai ferry is operational and free, ensuring smooth transportation with no obstacles."

Local tourism authorities have also committed to ensuring safety, security, and environmental hygiene measures, creating the best conditions for visitors to fully enjoy the beauty of Cát Bà after the typhoon. Additionally, many promotional programs and discounts on tourism services have been implemented to attract tourists back to the island.

Thus, Cat Ba - the gem of northern Vietnam - is ready to reopen, offering visitors not only stunning natural landscapes but also safe and comfortable relaxation experiences. Be sure to plan your upcoming trip to experience the marvelous beauty of Cát Bà after the storm has passed.
