During the virtual event, the ‘Golden Hour Low Price’ program with great deals on tourism products will be launched on March 19 and 20 from the midday to 2:00pm, and from 8:00pm to 10:00pm.

In 2016, the Da Nang Department of Tourism debuted a mobile application called ‘Danang FantastiCity’ which aims to provide visitors with useful tourism information about the city.

Developed by the municipal Tourism Promotion Centre and the city-based Gola Software Company, the application can be operated by either IOS or Android systems in both Vietnamese and English languages.

The application provides visitors with databases about the city’s attractive tours and its popular attractions, along with any on-going tourism programmes.  Other helpful information about the local weather and accommodation establishments is also displayed.

The application can help its users make detailed travel plans for their trip to the city.  In particular, if they select their travel dates, budget, and hobbies, the application will automatically suggest suitable travel schedules.  The schedules can be downloaded onto their smartphones, which allows them to be viewed later without wifi or 3G.
