Born in 2001, Minh Thu stands 1.70m tall with body measurements of 80-62-90cm.

Currently, Thu is a third-year student at the University of Economics, the University of Da Nang, in Tourism Major. She is a sociable and lively girl.

Thu said she entered the beauty pageant for the purpose of experiencing, learning about and horning more skills.

However, through each round of the beauty contest, the student realised that she belonged to the young generation, so she needed to live and dedicate herself with the enthusiasm of youth to realise her dreams.

Moreover, Miss Tourism will become an ambassador to connect and promote the images, brand names, and tourism products of Da Nang and Viet Nam as a whole, to domestic and international friends. Therefore, Thu is more determined to win the highest position of the contest.

Over the past 2 years, Thu has made every effort to improve herself, especially in cultivating knowledge, and seriously practicing catwalk, in a bid to create charisma and energy on stage.

In the end, her great efforts were paid off as she beat 28 finalists in the finale night to claim the prestigious crown.

The 21-year-old girl could not hide her emotion at winning the title of Miss Tourism Da Nang. She said “Even now, I still am emotional and happy. This is the first beauty contest that I have competed in".

After advancing to the top five, Thu answered the question " If you are selected as Miss Tourism Da Nang 2022 and also the city's tourism ambassador, in your opinion, what tasks should be done immediately to promote the city’s tourism in the context that the tourism industry of Viet Nam, and the world as a whole, are starting to reopen, but COVID-19 has not ended?" with the following answer: "In order to stimulate tourism demand, we should do the smallest steps, with a focus on advertising popular tourist attractions, the architecture and the beauty of Da Nang, as well as the friendliness and the hospitality of local people to friends around the world".

After the coronation ceremony, Thu said that she would try her best to participate in activities to stimulate Da Nang tourism and promote the friendly and hospitable images of locals to domestic and foreign friends. At the same, she will focus on studying to have the foundation knowledge and complete her university curricula.
