In his speech delivered at the opening ceremony, Vice Chairman Minh said Da Nang has secured a better stature on the world tourism map as a safe, attractive and hospitable destination for both domestic and foreign travellers.

The encouraging result was mainly attributed to the success of vibrant and exciting cultural, sports and tourism activities organised in the city over recent years, the effective leadership of Da Nang leaders, and the active support from tourism businesses, Da Nang people and tourists.

Vice Chairman Minh highlighted the significance of the festival to diversify Da Nang’s tourism products, and tempt domestic tourists back, thereby driving post-pandemic tourism recovery in Da Nang in the new normal.

“Through this event, we look forward to continuing to promote the seductive beauty of Da Nang dotted with amazing beaches with its clear blue waters and soft white sands, majestic mountains and romantic rivers to travellers around the world” said Mr Minh.

The opening ceremony of the festival drew quite a crowd and the atmosphere was upbeat with breathtaking live music and free admission
