Da Nang’s authorities have recently instructed local relevant agencies to implement the “Building Trading Areas and Shopping Centres to Develop Tourism” project.  The implementation of this project is considered to be one of Da Nang’s breakthroughs in making it a city of services.

Its purpose is to promote the development of the local tourism sector and satisfy the consumer demand of local residents and visitors.  Under the project, shopping areas specialising in selling certain products will be set up on a pilot basis over the 2013 - 2014 period.  In detail, fashion products including clothes, footwear and glasses will be sold on Le Duan and Phan Chau Trinh streets, whilst electronic products will be on sale on Hoang Dieu and Dao Duy Tu streets, souvenirs and handcrafts on Hung Vuong and Huyen Tran Cong Chua streets, eating and drinking areas will be on Truong Sa and Hoang Sa streets, and other products in other local shopping areas.

Based on the success of the above-mentioned pilot programme, the city will continue to develop more shopping streets in the 2015 - 2020 period.
