Ho Chi Minh City-based travel company Ben Thanh Tourist signed a memorandum of understanding for the construction of the park with two South Korean partners, namely Wide VNK Co., Ltd and Newto Co., Ltd, Tuesday.

Through this cooperation agreement, the Beach Non Nuoc Resort will create the best conditions for partners to design and install artistic lighting systems, using virtual reality technology whilst preserving the landscape of the over-50-year-old pine forest.

Mr  Nguyen Ngoc Tung, General Director of the Sandy Beach Non Nuoc Resort said: “Da Nang is already one of the top destinations with theme parks such as Sun World Ba Na Hills, Asia Park and Mikazuki which are quite attractive to visitors. With the project cooperated with Wide VNK and Newto Co. Ltd from South Korea, we believe that the virtual reality light park will bring a completely different experience and entertainment to everyone.”

According to Mr. Nguyen Xuan Binh, Deputy Director of the Da Nang Department of Tourism, the project is expected to bring Da Nang a very attractive new tourism product in line with the burgeoning modern technological trend  in a bid to drive up the city’s post-COVID tourism.

Kim Woon Tae, the Director of the Da Nang office of the Korea Trade and Investment Promotion Agency, said that Da Nang was one of South Koreans' favorite tourist destinations. Before the pandemic, millions of tourists from South Korea visited the central coastal city each year.

It is known that the Wide VNK Company will participate in operating the park when the project is put into operation.
