Alongside the ongoing Da Nang International Fireworks Festival 2018, the Da Nang - Summer Rendezvous programme is expected to make Da Nang an ideal choice for visitors from both home and abroad during the summer vacation, and this would affirm the seaside city’s stature as Viet Nam’s top destination for international events and festivals.

Furthermore, through the annual programme, the city’s beaches would become even more inviting to both locals and visitors, thereby helping to widely advertise the local beach tourism brand.
