Tourists can experience more

According to Mr. Ho Thanh Tu, the General Secretary of the Da Nang Tourism Association cum Director of Vietadventure Tourism Company Limited, said that, with the support of the city's tourism industry, recently, tour businesses have built a stimulus group to woo more tourists to Da Nang right during the summer peak to increase their travel experience.

Service providers and travel agencies have joined hands to develop the most suitable product packages from air tickets, accommodation and entertainment activities. Stimulus packages that have been launched offer many incentives, creating conditions for visitors to experience more of the city's convenient services in the coming months.

In addition, in recent times, many customers have had difficulty in accessing air tickets. Thanks to efforts made by the city's tourism industry, the Association, in coordination with airlines, has increased the number of night flights, creating conditions for customers with combo packages at preferential prices to travel comfortably.

As reported by Director of the Da Nang Department of Tourism Truong Thi Hong Hanh this summer, Da Nang organised more than 15 major events taking place from July to September, such as the ongoing Da Nang International Fireworks Festival 2024; Da Nang Summer Enjoyment Festival (from July 17 to 21); Viet Nam-Japan Festival; Viet Nam – South Korea Festival; Asian Development Golf Tournament 2024; festivals and events on both sides of the Han River and many new activities and products.

The Da Nang 2024 summer tourism stimulus programme with many combo packages at preferential prices aims to help tourists save as much as money spent on their Da Nang trips.

In addition to the cooperation of the business community, airlines and tourist attractions to offer attractive stimulus products, the city’s authorities also promote communication activities for the sake of the stimulus programme with the enthusiastic participation of Tiktokers, KOLs in Da Nang, Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City.

The Da Nang Department of Tourism and the Tourism Association will strictly control the implementation of the programme, monitor and handle feedback from tourists, ensuring the rights of tourists during the visit to the tourist attractions in Da Nang.
