On July 21, DTU held a Tourism Forum, with the theme "Danang Tourism - Recovery and Challenges after the Pandemic".
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Anh, Chairman of the Danang Travel Association, commented that the city’s tourism industry is on the road to recovery, back to pre-pandemic levels. He reported that, in 2023, the Danang recovery rate is now at 80%, forecasted to bounce back completely by 2025. However, despite positive signs and favorable conditions, he added that the city’s tourism sector is still facing several problems, particularly because of low quality human resources, lack of tourism offerings, and others.
At the same time, Mr. Anh overviewed some of the latest trends in tourism, worldwide and in Vietnam, such as Green Tourism, Experience Tourism and Community Tourism, all for potential development in the city.
Danang is the ideal location for summer visitors
According to Mr. Nguyen Xuan Binh, Deputy-Director of the Danang Department of Tourism, 1,100 out of 1,200 tourist accommodations have now re-opened, and 90% of the local tour guides have returned to work. However, Mr. Binh emphasized that: “The city should do something new and different to attract more Vietnamese and foreign tourists.”
